A global energy group’s plans to invest in a small modular reactor business were impacted by serious—potentially defamatory—allegations. They required an independent view of the SMR business’ viability, stakeholders, and regulatory environment.

Veracity investigated the credibility of the allegations and examined broader reputational, probity, and financial concerns. Our work included analysis of the political and regulatory landscape, commercial fundamentals, and projected market demand.

Our investigation spanned multiple jurisdictions, with a focus on the company’s home market and others linked to its founders and partners. We reviewed corporate and legal records, conducted media analysis across multiple languages, and consulted discreetly with two dozen sources across the sector.

Veracity’s findings gave the client the confidence to proceed with a clear understanding of the business’s risks and reputation.
