Environment, Health & Safety Data: Baseline Year and Future Performance Targets
Overview
Safety First
Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) is a top management priority for NDB and essential for enhancing our competitive advantage.
This report establishes our 2024 baseline for EH&S performance and sets ambitious targets for future operations. Our current metrics reflect R&D activities and office operations.
Looking ahead to production launch (targeted 2030), we are designing safety protocols, environmental controls, and performance monitoring systems that will meet or exceed industry best practices and international standards (ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IAEA guidelines).
Reporting Note: 2024 data represents our baseline year. Future reports will include comprehensive operational metrics as operations scale.
Health & Safety
2024 Safety Performance
Zero incidents recorded in 2024. Safety-first culture from day one.
Zero recordable injuries per 200,000 hours worked (2024)
Zero lost-time incidents in 2024
Safety culture encourages reporting
All personnel completed required training
Occupational Health & Safety Framework
Current Policies:
- Comprehensive EH&S policy adopted (2024)
- Emergency response procedures established
- Incident reporting and investigation protocols
- Ergonomic assessments for all workstations (office)
Future Manufacturing Standards:
- ISO 45001 certification target (2032, Year 2 of operations)
- Radiation safety protocols aligned with IAEA standards
- Automated safety monitoring systems (real-time alerts)
- Behavioral safety programs and safety leadership training
Environmental
2024 Environmental Metrics
Minimal environmental impact in 2024 due to pre-operational status. Targets set for future manufacturing operations.
Energy Consumption Breakdown (2024)
Electricity
Office lighting, HVAC, IT equipment
Heating/Cooling
Rented office space (landlord-managed)
Renewable Energy
Target: 100% by 2025 (office), 100% from Day 1 (manufacturing)
Future Performance
Operational EH&S Targets (2030-2035)
Ambitious but achievable targets for manufacturing operations, reflecting our commitment to industry-leading EH&S performance.
Health & Safety Targets
By 2033 (Year 3 of Operations):
- TRIR <0.5: World-class safety performance
- Zero fatalities: Absolute commitment to life preservation
- 100% training compliance: Annual safety certification for all personnel
- ISO 45001 certified: By Year 2 of operations (2032)
Radiation Safety Metrics:
- Zero radiation exposure incidents: Strict ALARA principle enforcement
- 100% containment: All radioactive materials safely enclosed
- Real-time monitoring: Continuous radiation level surveillance
- IAEA compliance: Full alignment with international nuclear safety standards
Environmental Targets
Energy:
- 100% renewable energy from Day 1
- <10 kWh per unit energy intensity by 2033
Water:
- 95% water recycling rate by 2032
- <5L per unit water intensity by 2033
Waste:
- <0.1% manufacturing waste to landfill
- 99.9%+ hazardous waste recycled/treated
Compliance
Regulatory Compliance & Standards
International Atomic Energy Agency
Nuclear safety and radiation protection standards for handling radioactive materials
Environmental Management
International standard for environmental management systems
Occupational Health & Safety
International standard for OH&S management systems
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
US regulatory compliance for nuclear materials handling and licensing
Compliance Framework Development
We are not yet subject to manufacturing-related regulatory requirements, and are proactively developing compliance frameworks to ensure seamless transition when operations commence.
All nuclear materials used in R&D are handled by licensed third-party facilities with appropriate permits and safety protocols. NDB does not currently possess radioactive materials on-site.
Culture
EH&S Management System
Our EH&S management system is built on continuous improvement, proactive risk management, and a culture of safety accountability.
Key Principles
Leadership Commitment
EH&S as a CEO-level priority with Board oversight
Risk-Based Approach
Proactive hazard identification and mitigation
Employee Engagement
Safety culture where every employee is empowered to stop work
Continuous Improvement
Regular audits, KPI tracking, and corrective actions
Transparency
Public reporting of performance metrics and incidents
"Safety is not negotiable. It is the foundation upon which we build our operations, protect our people, and earn the trust of our communities."
