Dear Colleague,
New build, new build, new build… What about the current fleet? With
utilities in Europe taking huge strides to secure life extensions for theiroperating fleet, it is more important than ever to understand the
options available for refurbishment, modernization and generalmaintenance.
With the announcement from EDF to look at 60 year lifetimes for their
current fleet in France, costing approximately €400 to €600 million perunit, maintenance issues are costly but necessary. Operation and
maintenance costs are country-specific but depend heavily on the
utility managing the plant. They include manpower costs, annual O&M
investments, periodic equipment replacement, national and regional
taxes, insurance and company overheads. O&M costs are a major slice
of a utility’s spend and are estimated to be around 25% of a NPPs yearly budget.
With 196 operating nuclear plants across Europe, there are a large
number of owners who will be assessing the prospects of life
extensions and the subsequent maintenance tasks that follow. It ismore important than ever to learn from the experts who have
implemented successful refurbishment strategies for their operating
plants.
Maintenance and modernization projects are costly and technicallychallenging. If costs and outage times are to be reduced then carefulplanning is required and common sense strategies must be put in place.
In order to do that some of the following challenges will be faced:
• Maintaining operational safety
• Long-term operations strategy
• Refurbishment planning• Makeup, aging and obsolescence
• Reliability of equipment performance
• Preventive and predictive maintenance
• Resources and availability
The Nuclear Maintenance and Plant Modernization Conference will
supply your business with the critical intelligence and tools you need to
understand eective O&M strategies to deliver eciencies, increase
output and reduce outage times to improve ROI. Delivered by the best
in the industry – you’ll be able to take away key lessons and real world
action points that you can implement to save millions of €uro’s.
The conference will be bringing together 150 operations and
maintenance experts for two days of business critical intelligence,unrivalled networking and stimulating discussion. With senior level
representatives from European utilities, lead contractors and equipment
providers and specialist service companies – can you aord to missout?
I look forward to seeing you in Brussels in May.

NUCLEAR MODERNIZATION – THE FACTS!
To celebrate the launch of our inaugural Nuclear
Maintenance and Plant Modernization Conference
2011, I’m giving away access to a presentation from
Nuclear Energy Insider’s Power Uprate conference
from June 2010.
Modernization and Power Uprates in NuclearPower Plants
In this presentation, Mr Alejandro Merino
Teillet, Project Manager with Iberdrola Ingenieria y
Construccion gives a unique insight into:
• Project engineering and the importance to
power uprates
• The importance of implementation of
equipment modifications and retrofitting
during projects
• Lessons learnt from IBERDROLA on the
experience they have learned from outages
during modification tasks
These views are based on a wealth of experience with
Alejandro being the Manager of the Engineering
Department for Nuclear Power Stations with theresponsibility of the development of Flamanvile, Iter
and Cofrentes projects, among others.
I hope you enjoy the presentation and find much value
in it for your business. If you have any comments or
