  1. TM/WS ON TOPICAL ISSUES ON INFRASTRUCTUE DEVELOPMENT: MANAGING THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR NUCLEAR POWER 9-12 February 2010, Vienna, Austria GROUP 3: Bangladesh, Croatia,Egypt, Jordan, Montenegro, Namibia,Senegal, Syria, Vietnam and Yemen Moderator: Dr. I. Rotaru, IAEA consultant Reporter: Dr. Mohammad shawkat AKBAR Bangladesh BREAK-OUT SESSION - NPP VENDORS PERSPECTIVE 12 February, 2010 TM/WS 9-12February 2010

  2. 1. EXPERIENCES • Rising expectations in introduction of NPP to newcomers is due to its economic, social, environmental and technological dimensions • Recently, a large number of countries are considering introduction of nuclear power or expansion of existing programme - age of nuclear renaissance • New emerging issues: nuclear fuel cycle, protection and security against terrorism along with existing issues: huge front end cost, safety, proliferation, waste management would be the barriers in introduction of NPP TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  3. 1. EXPERIENCES • Issues of newcomers regarding economic effort, capability of industrial infrastructure, availability of human resources, cultural considerations are also important considerations • Thus, nuclear renaissance would not be possible without ensuring the economic, safe and secured and peaceful operation of nuclear power plant THIS IS BOTH A SHARED RESPSONSIBLITY AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO ALL TODAY’s AND FUTURE OPERATORS AND VENDORS TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  4. 2. LESSONS LEARNED • NPP acquisition process is a complex, time consuming and expensive process • Newcomer countries must devote necessary resources - human and monetary to successful introduction of NPP TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  5. 2. LESSONS LEARNED • Based on the country’s needs, the vendor may assist in preparation for introduction of a first NPP through – conducting joint pre-feasibility study, developing project site, establishing appropriate legal framework, updating electric grid system, etc. • A Help from vendors in enhancing newcomers’ in understanding technology (through public training) and its standards is also very important for considerations of newcomers’ TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  6. Bilateral agreement on peaceful uses of atomic energy between vendor’s country and a newcomer is essential for introduction of NPP in newcomer’s country 2. LESSONS LEARNED TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  7. 2. LESSONS LEARNED INCREASED SAFETY MARGIN OF TECHNOLOGY • No need to evacuate population in any situation • Low sensitivity to power supply interruption • Adaptation to tropical climatic condition • Designing several sequential safety levels • Increase of seismic resistance • Low sensitivity to personnel errors in the process in any situation TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  8. Protection of Nuclear Power Plant against any severe external impacts • Seismic loads • Wind loads • Tornado • Tsunami • Flood • Aircraft crash • Shock wave TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  9. Higher capital costs • Complex Licensing Process and regulatory requirement • Longconstructionperiod • Human Resource Development • Funding/Financing • Risks related to nuclear fuel • Long term storage of spent fuel Challenges TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  10. Due to limited number of vendors, it is necessary to have a guarantee/measures for • High degree of certainty for schedule and cost • Reduced construction time and cost • Increased levels of safe and secured technology • Long-term fuel guarantee VENDOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES TO NEWCOMERS TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  11. HRD Plan Before contract Phase I and Phase II IAEA PLAYS A MORE RELEVANT ROLE MOU + After contract Phase II and Phase III VENDOR PLAYS A MORE RELEVANT ROLE TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  12. FUNDING AND FINANCING • A newcomer needs technology as well as part of investment from vendor and vendor country’s source(s) due to limited infrastructures and resources • Initiatives for development of an innovative financing scheme by the Agency and Vendor countries - opportunities of financing from international financing organizations such as World Bank, as well as utilization of climate change fund for newcomers of the developing and the least developed nations TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  13. RECOMMENDATIONS Building up a proven technology with improved safety, competitive economics and good performance features in a newcomer country Arrangement of funding for successful implementation of the project specially foreign currency requirement for the newcomers Licensing support, consideration of maximum possible participation of domestic companies in civil works of substantial uses of local labor forces and TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  14. RECOMMENDATIONS Developing a fully staffed regulatory body with specific expertise in operating plant oversight personnel education and training of operators and maintenance professionals from supplier’s source and Developing a fully staffed RNPP operational body and technical support organization Long-term assurance for nuclear fuel supply, spare parts and taking care of spent fuel Possible technology transfer TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  15. RECOMMENDATIONS However, a nuclear project requires fully supported over the long term by host government but a long term approach to the cooperation and commitment between a newcomer of a developing or least developed country and the vendor and with the vendor country is necessary for successful introduction of NPP TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007

  16. THAN YOU VERY MUCH FOR KIND ATTENTION TM/WSP 5-9 Nov. 2007
