100% NPP

85% main national companies of sector More than 50 companies associated About 30,000 direct and indirect jobs

Tasks:

Influence Facilitate

Goals:

To achieve the long-term operation of Spanish nuclear power plants

NUCLEAR

20,5%

The gross production for electrical energy closed the year at

279,768 GWh, 4.6% lower than that of 2013

The Spanish energy mix is diversified and balanced

Nuclear energy and wind energy supply 40% of electricity

generation

Today nuclear energy is irreplaceable in Spain

SUSTAINABILITY OF THE SPANISH ELECTRIC SYSTEM

Basic guidelines promoted by the European Union  Security and quality of supply

 Competitiveness

 Environmental Sustainability

Diversified production mix

Security and quality of supply Competitiveness Environmental

Sustainability

Nuclear energy meets these three requirements

LONG-TERM OPERATION OF

SPANISH NUCLEAR POWER

8 reactors in 6 different sites

7,864.7 MWe installed power capacity: 7.3% of total

57,304.23 GWh produced in 2014: 20.5% of total

Currently avoids the emission of between 30 and 40 million tons of CO2Save the import of 100 millions barrels of oil per year

It generates 35% of emission-free electricity  Operation indicator over 85%:

 Load factor: 88.41%

 Operating factor: 89.79%

2 reactors undergoing dismantling

Manufactures nuclear fuel assemblies

Storage of radioactive waste of very low, low and medium level

Under construction: The Centralized Temporary Storage (ATC)

LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY OF THE SPANISH

NUCLEAR POWER FACILITIES

(11)
(12)

It is an open and dynamic industry in a growing international market sector It is competitive, consolidated and experienced

It is present in the whole the value chain, from fuel fabrication to

decommissioning and the management and disposal of radioactive waste There is an appropriate mix of private and public initiative that ensures

balance and accountability in all aspects of their activity

The entire nuclear industry is technologically versatile as its experience in the Spanish nuclear power plants has made is familiar with these

technologies

(13)

Technically highly skilled, solid, prestigious, independent, and highly experienced in monitoring safety and radiation protection of all nuclear

and radioactive facilities regulator

Present in over 40 countries on 4 continents

Between 60% and 80% of its activity is for export

Between 40% and 60% of its employees are university graduates Participates in international research and development projects:

 Advanced nuclear power plants

 Nuclear fusion (ITER) and

 Programs based on high energy physics

CAPACITIES OF SPANISH NUCLEAR INDUSTRY

Utilities Nuclear Systems Suppliers Nuclear Power Plants Engineering and Services Waste Management

(17)

ENUSA, Industrias Avanzadas company is responsible for

the supply of uranium and its processing to final processing of the fuel assembly

A highly qualified team that centers its activities upon the

first stage of the nuclear fuel cycle

From the start of its operation in 1985, they have

manufactured and provided over 20,000 fuel assemblies

Exports over 65% of its production

(18)

Have the technological capacity and expertise to the

production of key equipment, turbine generator, valves, cranes, pipes, boilers and equipment for the handling and storage of fuel, both dry and in pools

Provide equipment to nuclear power plants from Spain, United Kingdom, Korea, South Africa, Taiwan, Japan, China, etc.

Spanish companies manufactured over 100 steam

generators for nuclear power plants around the world Export more than 80% of its production to countries on

five continents

(19)

Wide national and international experience

Develope large electric generation projects in more than

40 countries

Provide services to all types of reactors during construction, operation and site maintenance

They are leaders in building control rooms and training of

nuclear operators

Develope the engineering and design activities to the

International Fusion Project (ITER)

Export 60% of its anual production, and some companies even 100%

(20)

The public company ENRESA is responsible for the

collection, transport, treatment, storage and control of radioactive waste

The very low, low and medium activity waste are storaged in El Cabril Center (Córdoba)

The used fuel is storaged in the plant pools or in dry

storage until the construction of the Centralized

Temporary Storage (ATC, its acronym in Spanish) in

Villar de Cañas (Cuenca) that will be an important economic and employment engine for the area

(21)

CONCLUSIONS

The Spanish nuclear sector is able to develop its activity in the whole cycle of nuclear value chain: experience and technological versatility are its distinct elements.

The Spanish nuclear industry has recognized capacity and experience at international level to compete in a global market

The Spanish nuclear sector is consolidated and prestigious, generating

wealth and employment:

It is a niche of industrial activity

It is a focus of qualified employment

It is a source of international prestige
