Paragon held a Neutron Monitoring & Nuclear Instrumentation User Group which answered the question: “Is it time to modernize aged or obsolete nuclear instrumentation systems to support life extension?”

Certainty! As CEO of Paragon, I’m excited by the momentum in our industry. But like every nuclear business leader, I grapple with the challenges of delivering projects on time amid capacity and investment constraints. While the industry’s future is bright, the timing of good news doesn’t always align with commitment orders.

Paragon recently hosted a licensing course that explored the important world of digital systems in nuclear power plant applications.

Paragon’s engineering interns were important team members and Paragonians this past summer at our headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. Find […]

Doug VanTassell looks at the significant supply chain challenges facing the nuclear power sector. The current crisis includes a shortage of qualified parts and component suppliers exacerbated by outdated planning and procurement processes.

Find out what goes on inside the Paragon I&C Lab – and how our talented team extends the life of nuclear assets.

First responders at Paragon help ensure safety is at the forefront of everyone’s minds. We understand that emergencies can happen at any moment, which is why we’ve assembled this team.

Paragon hosted recent training events focused on the latest developments in the use of software-based equipment in nuclear plant applications with a focus on advanced reactors.
The course recognizes that software-based equipment has become increasingly important as existing plants implement digital upgrades and new and advanced plants implement full digital safety and control throughout the design.

Nuclear News recently published an article by David Mueller, Paragon’s VP of Strategic Programs: “Modernization, digitization, collaboration: Keys to a bright future for the nuclear industry.”
As Mueller shares, with most of the US operating fleet discussing license extensions to 80 years, we are at a time where not only is there a window of opportunity to advance technology, it is an absolute necessity. The industry will need to capitalize and rely on digital innovation and the benefits it provides.  

“We must look to move beyond how we have always done things and instead seek innovation to move [the nuclear industry] forward.”

Paragon has established a U.S. Women in Nuclear (WIN) chapter. U.S. Women in Nuclear (U.S. WIN) is an organization of individuals who work in nuclear energy and technology fields around the United States.

Paragon Energy Solutions has officially celebrated its fifth anniversary. The company, however, dates back many more years to the early 1990s with several legacy companies including ATC Nuclear, Nuclear Logistics Inc., Technology Resources, and Rock Creek Innovations.

Paragon is featured in Nuclear Engineering International magazine: Nuclear Moneyball – The Art of Winning. In the high-risk era of plant modernizations and closures, can playing the odds help modest-budgeted plants thrive?
