Why Eden?

A Leading Specialist Nuclear Consultancy

Founded in 2007 and based in Penrith, Cumbria, we are a specialist consultancy providing expert advice in nuclear and environmental risk management. We support clients with strategic planning, regulatory compliance, waste management, and radiological assessment, helping them navigate complex environmental and regulatory challenges.

Our team has particular expertise in developing environmental safety cases to support radioactive waste disposal permitting applications. We are also recognised specialists in radiological assessments, delivering robust technical evaluations for new permit applications and supporting the review, update, and optimisation of existing permits.

We work with government bodies, regulators, defence organisations, nuclear site operators, and other organisations managing radioactive materials, delivering projects across the UK and internationally. We hold ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 accreditations for our quality management systems as well as Cyber Essentials Plus. We are committed to quality, continuous improvement, and practical, evidence-based advice.
