Westinghouse Strategic Objectives Achieve Sustainable Growth by Contributing to Our Customers’ Success Customer Intimacy Operational Excellence Technology Leadership 9
Leader in Advanced Reactor Licensing l 20 years ago Evolutionary ALWR reactor technology – System 80+ Design Certification (DC) on May 21, 1997 l 15 years ago Passive reactor technology – AP 600 DC on December 16, 1999 l Extended to Generation III+ AP 1000 – DC December 30, 2005 l Generation IV nuclear plant technology – PBMR and IRIS (Pre-Application reviews underway) 10
Key for Success: Localization and Technology Transfer Robust ROK new build program will also help us ensure success with other new build efforts 11
Westinghouse AP 1000 12
A Historical Plant Perspective l Current nuclear power plants are safe, economic and increasingly competitive l Complicated systems with numerous active components l Quest for improved performance and safety pursued through redundancy and diversity l Operators required to take action on a relatively short time in response to plant upset conditions l Numerous designs with diverse project delivery teams and equipment suppliers l “Stick-build” construction and large on-site staffs 13
Westinghouse Passive Technology AP 1000 Modular Construction Short Engineering and Construction Schedule US Licensing Approval Passive Safety Systems NRC Approves Certification of Westinghouse AP 1000 Advanced Reactor Design – the only Genreation III+ design to receive such certification Innovative Design Features Reduced Components & Commodity Components 14
AP 1000: Simplicity and Standardization Design l Safety l Construction l Procurement l Operations l Maintenance l Schedule for a Standard AP 1000 Plant – 60 Months 15
Involve Suppliers Early in the Process l To improve cost efficiencies l Streamline the overall planning of the project l Manage and identify global capacity, determine worldwide demand, identify gaps and implement gap closure plans l Align supply strategies to the area of the world where the plant is to be built l Identify customer localization The result: A power plant with fewer sourced requirements, reduce lead times, components from a pool of tightly and continue the pursuit of integrated suppliers and sub suppliers qualified suppliers 16
