Agenda

3150 Product Overview and Qualification Status 1150 to 3150 Transition

– Timeline for final quotes and orders US Market Transition

– Survey and experience to date

Key Messages: – 3150 series is fully qualified for 1150 replacement – Quotes no longer issued for the 1150 series

• Orders accepted until 30Apr15 subject to material availability – US transition to 3150 is off to a slow start

• Much work ahead to transition US plants

3150 Series - Next Generation Family Analog pressure transmitter designed and

qualified for nuclear safety applications. Primary safety function: Sense pressure

and transmit proportional electrical signal.

Global qualification – IEEE 323/344 – RCC-E* – KTA 3505

Designed to provide: – Long term availability – Improved performance, functionality,

and manufacturability.

*RCC-E is a customer-owned Qualification

Expected Availability Mid 2015

1150 Transition to 3150

Three notification letters – Nov 2012: Initial announcement – Oct 2013: 3153N/3154N available – June 2014: 3159 available

Final 1150 Quote: 30Oct14 Final 1150 Order: 30Apr15

Decision to discontinue 1150 based on:

– Availability of improved 3150 platform – Discontinuance of the commercial grade 1151 platform in 2009 – Aging 1150 design increasingly difficult to sustain

Other Important Information Spare parts supported until April 30, 2015

(subject to material availability). – Consumables (o-rings and chemicals) will be available

for 18 months following final shipment.

10-50mA electronics will not be offered with 3150 – Very low market demand – Last time buy decisions further restricted market

Large last time buy orders are highly discouraged

due to limited material availability.

3150 Series Shipments and Orders Shipped: 5,306

• 78 to US plants (1.5%) On order = 1,596

• 17 for US plants (1.1%)

Early 3150 adoption has been in Europe and for global new construction.

OVERVIEW – US Plant Transition Survey

Interview Goals and Scope

Category Number

Number of Customers (facilities) Interviewed 46 plants

3 engineering firms 49 customers

Number of interviews conducted 47 Engineering 12 Procurement 59 interviews

Mix of interview contacts 80% Engineering 20% Procurement

GOALS

Understand the level of awareness of the 3150 transition at US plants

Understand the stage of transition at the US plants

Understand barriers to the transition

SCOPE

Research Goal: Awareness of Transition from 1150 to 3150

Summary Findings – by Research Goal

TAKE AWAY: AWARENESS IS HIGH. A FEW GAPS EXIST.

Sampling of Customer Inputs

Numerous customers recalled hearing about the transition at the Fall 2013 BWR users’ group presentation

Several contacts acknowledged hearing about the transition, but did not recall details unaided and in some cases had nearly forgotten about the issue

"There are so many parts, and we need to make the change in a couple of months and resources here are tight. We had Mike Dougherty in and that was helpful.”

Awareness Number Comments

Aware 45 Overwhelming number of contacts were aware of the transition and familiar with the transition schedule.

Insufficiently aware 4 Insufficient awareness generally due to employee transitions or communication gaps within customer

Research Goal: Transition Stage

Summary Findings – by Research Goal

Current Stage Number Comments

Pre-planning (High Level Assessment) 17

Many plants are moving slowly because they believe there is adequate inventory of 1150 series transmitters

(in the plant or elsewhere), and resources are tight

23 plants plan to do Equivalency Evaluation 5 believe formal Design Modification will be required

17 have yet to determine their plan Planning 14

Execution 7 Some have purchased 3150 devices

Not working on it 11 Includes three engineering firms and three facilities that are not sufficiently aware due to internal turnover

Sampling of Customer Inputs

"My Engineering Group and I have been working for about a year to push the transition (to the 3150), but we have hit a brick wall. We have not gotten off the dime. We could not convince the Procurement Engineering Group to support it.“

Timetable for transition is not unreasonable, though many customers will delay implementation while they bleed down safety stock.

TAKE AWAY: A FEW EARLY ADOPTERS ARE TRYING 3150 MOST OF THE WORK IN THE US LIES IN THE YEAR(S) AHEAD

Research Goal: Barriers to the Transition (Cited by customers)

Resource constraints, particularly in I&C Engineering, have slowed or stalled work on transitioning to the new models

o Many plants are short staffed, and, therefore, product equivalency tests and documentation are getting delayed.

Some facilities will require formal design modification rather than simpler equivalency evaluation

o 10-50 ma signal conversion needs, plant-specific issues

Minor differences in mounting brackets, ranges may slow a few customers, but are not a source of major concern

Some downsides to the new 3150 devices include the new products have larger mounting footprints, a slight height difference (about 1 1/2 inches), and fewer ranges, but there are no known application issues from these factors

Summary Findings – by Research Goal

Transition Experience to Date Transition cycle time for plants is taking between

3 and 12 months.

Interesting “specials” have come out of the woodwork. Some not purchased for years.

– Custom EQ and design work needed.

High resource commitment on both ends (Plant and at Rosemount)

In all cases the transition has been successful for both domestic and international plants!
