5 Presentation The Spanish Nuclear Industry Forum is pleased to publish a new edition of this industry catalog, whose main objective is to compile and present the characteristics of a consolidated industry and that is set to see growth in the coming years. Since the nineteen sixties, the nuclear industry in Spain has been developing its capacities maintaining a competitive position at world level. Thanks to these efforts, the Spanish nuclear industry may currently be said to participate in new reactor developments and the most advanced lines of research and to make use of the most up-todate techniques to respond to a growing market. The companies that are included in this publication have in common their dedication to the nuclear sector, in areas as diverse as initial and on-going training, construction of major components, engineering, nuclear fuel cycle and waste management. The situation of the emerging countries, especially in Asia, with energy consumption growth rates of close to 8% per year, makes it necessary to construct new nuclear reactors to satisfy part of its demand. To the obvious energy requirements should be added the increasing concern for the consequences of climate change and the measures to be taken to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases, as well as the variability of fossil fuel prices. In this context, nuclear energy emerges as a technological, competitive and sustainable option for the production of electricity and as a guarantee of supplies, supporting compliance with Kyoto commitments. In Spain, the nuclear power plants produce 20% of the electricity we consume. The nuclear reactors generate the base power of the system, without interruptions, always respectful towards the environment, and at lower costs than other energy sources. The building and subsequent operation of the plants brought about the consolidation of the Spanish nuclear industry in all areas: building, engineering, consulting and services, that look towards a promising future that will not only allow for the expansion of the nuclear industry but also improve the competitiveness of the country's business fabric and bring added value to it. It is an honour for the Spanish Nuclear Industry Forum to present of this publication, in collaboration with ICEX, which illustrates the reality of a Spanish industry at the technological forefront, providing high added value and with an increasing international presence. We trust that this catalog will serve to promote and disclose the companies involved in nuclear activities. Mª Teresa Domínguez President, Spanish Nuclear Industry Forum 3

6 The Spanish nuclear industry contributes to the competitiveness of the country's economy. Its activity takes place within the framework of a growing international market.

7 Introduction Society is constantly advancing towards a greater economic and social development. Globalization has encouraged relationships among countries in such a way that, nowadays and especially in the case of energy, it is no longer possible to establish national policies that do not take into account those in other countries. 20% of the world s population consumes 80% of the energy resources. Almost a third of the world s population, around two thousand million people, have no access to the transport and energy services that developed countries enjoy. The International Energy Agency estimates that the demand for primary energy in the world will increase by 50%, and the electricity demand will double up in the next fifty years. In order to fulfill this demand increase, in the next few years it will be necessary to promote the construction of nuclear power plants with advanced reactors, coal-fired plants with carbon capture and sequestration and renewable energy plants, so as to put together the most possibly balanced and sustainable mix. In the world there are over 440 nuclear reactors in operation in 30 countries with an installed capacity of around 370 GW, which is 10% of the world s total electric generation park. They generate approximately 2,600 TWh per year, that is, they fulfill global electricity demand by 17%. Additionally, there is a clear support of nuclear energy: at the moment, over 65 reactors are under construction in 15 countries, another 90 are planned, i.e. programmed and with compromised financing, and 200 more are at the proposal stage. This means that, in the next years, the world s nuclear park is going to undergo a spectacular increase, contributing to a satisfaction of the environmental sustainability, guarantee of supply and competitive electricity production challenges. 5

8 In Spain the nuclear fleet, composed by eight reactors in six different sites, provides approximately 20% of the country s consumed electricity, with less than 8% of the total installed power in the country s electric generation park. Together, the Spanish nuclear power plants possess over 250 years of operative experience, having operated in excellent conditions during the last years and often being first on the lists of the world s best performing plants. Their role is irreplaceable in the energy mix that supply the Spanish market, and they are a very important resource in the fight against the greenhouse effect and for the assurance of supply. NUCLEAR INDUSTRY IN SPAIN Spain first became interested in nuclear energy at the end of the 1940 s saw the creation of the Junta de Energía Nuclear (JEN), initially dependent on the Government s Presidency and afterwards on the Ministry of Industry and Energy. The JEN would be of great importance to the country s nuclear development. After the Atoms for Peace speech by the United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the United Nations General Assembly in December 1953, the right climate was created to study the convenience of introducing nuclear energy to Spain. In 1964 the Nuclear Energy Law was approved, and in 1972 the Radioactive and Nuclear Sites Regulation was developed, afterwards revised in The security and regulation activities were entrusted to the Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear (CSN) created in 1980, and the research and management of radioactive waste to the Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos (ENRESA) created in At the beginning of the sixties, with the stabilization plan and Spain s incorporation into OCDE, the Spanish economy sped up its expansion, increasing energy demand. From 1960 to 1975 the energy demand grew at an accumulative rate of 11% per annum. In a situation of lack of gas and petroleum, with growing dependence on the latter and with the difficult and costly extraction of domestic coal, entrepreneurs and the Government considered accessing nuclear energy, still then at the early stages of industrial development, but nevertheless assuring to be the ideal complement to provide the basis for the load curve. Thus, the creation of Spain s industrial nuclear structure began in the sixties, as a consequence of the decision to build the José Cabrera, Santa María de Garoña and Vandellós I nuclear power plants by major foreign contractors via the turnkey procedure. At this initial stage, the Administration actively promoted this industrial development, in order to create qualified jobs and because of the technnological advance that would no doubt contribute to the industry s general betterment. 6

9 Introduction The next stage, in the seventies, saw the construction of the Almaraz, Ascó and Cofrentes nuclear power plants, this time utilizing contracting by components, which made the existing engineering and capital goods industries gain great importance, in already built sites but with modern methods adapted to the new concepts of safety guarantee. During the third stage, in the eighties, the Vandellós II and Trillo I nuclear power plants were built. At this stage, the Spanish nuclear industry reached its maturity with the construction of new build plants, both for materials and fuels, and the existence of a number of specialized services companies. The result of this process was the creation in Spain of an important technical and scientific community, located in public organizations and investigation centres, Universities, the operating nuclear power plants and the general industry. The eighties saw the moment of maximum activity of nuclear industry in Spain, providing jobs to over 20,000 people, among them over 5,000 highly qualified technicians. In addition to this, we must add approximately 100,000 more people in indirect jobs, from multiple goods and services companies. Nuclear power plants are based on complex technology, and they are intensive in capital but also in know-how. The widespread of this technology in several stages contributed to the creation of a solid industrial infrastructure, necessary to support the design, construction and exploitation of the plants, but also to develop other activities such as those related to fuel and the handling of radioactive waste. All this activity implied an important effort of technology assimilation and training for technicians and specialists, the result of which was a high-quality nuclear fleet, extremely expert operation teams and very high amounts of national participation in the construction of nuclear power plants, from the 40% total in the first sites to over 80% in the latter ones. The companies in the nuclear sector continue to support the engineering and components activities for repairs or modifications, fuel supply and inspection services during operation, as well as support services for refueling and radiological protection. Currently we still possess a basis of know-how, experience and means that will allow us to participate in nuclear programs at relaunching stages in several countries. It is thus quite obvious that, in the event of a re-activation of Spain s nuclear program, we have a good infrastructure to successfully satisfy it. This fact has led Spain to be selected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as an example of a country that had an exemplary nuclear programme of industrial promotion, for those countries that are currently launching their own nuclear programmes. The Spanish nuclear industry provides the engineering, equipment, construction and assembly, fuels, startup and services needed by nuclear power plants for their operation. All this industrial structure was put together during the plants construction and has 7

10 evolved along with the circumstances of each moment, incorporating new technologies adapted to the current needs and requirements. The Spanish nuclear industry is prepared for the international market, since in what concerns the construction of nuclear power plants all the technical structure of regulations, specifications, drafts, qualifications, performance, inspections and documentation corresponds to the global standards, and the companies are familiar with the clients and inspection agents as well as with the international methods. Additionally, many of them possess certification from the main classification entities. The companies acting in the nuclear field, besides the fuel cycle and waste management, are classified according to their specialities. Below is a brief explanation of the infrastructure created in Spain and its current potential, as an industrial nucleus for its necessary expansion in a globalized market: Electric companies, responsible for the construction of nuclear power plants and their operation, have expanded their activity to the study of optimization and operation, maintenance, equipment and procedural improvement management, fuel cycle handling, and development of new reactors. Nuclear system providers. In Spain a decision was made not to establish a systems company linked through licenses to any foreign supplier, which had meant that the industry was practically forced to choose one single type of reactor. International suppliers provided the 8

11 Introduction first turnkey nuclear power plants and nuclear steam generation systems for the consecutive nuclear power plants, and also granted the Spanish industry access to nuclear methods and standards. Nowadays they provide operation and maintenance support services and will certainly play a paramount role in the country s future nuclear efforts. Engineering companies, making the most of their experience in the project and construction of thermal power stations, have generated an important capacity of nuclear power plant engineering, supporting the management of new build plant construction as well as the operation and management of operating facilities. From the beginning, Spanish engineering companies cooperated with leading foreign contractors. At the second stage the situation was inverted, being the Spanish companies the contractors for propietors, utilizing foreign companies for some time as consultants to afterwards assume total responsability. Equipment providers. This sector has been put together on the basis of the existing industry and the addition of new capacities, especially in the manufacturing of main equipment and turbine generators, but also of cranes, valves, tubes, boilers and accessories, heat exchangers, fuel manipulation machinery and a long etcetera of elements subject to strict quality assurance systems. An industry has been constituted that is able to supply most of the capital goods. Manufacturing and assembly companies had no difficulty in adapting to the new quality requirements. It is important to point out the locomotive effect that nuclear energy has had on the nuclear site assembly sector. On one hand, and as regards strictly nuclear industry, this pull brought about a qualitative change in issues such as quality and conformity assurance according to the special requirement regulations. On the other hand, it also had a positive effect on the dimensions of the equipments to assemble. This has very positive repercussions on other fields, including the deployment of renewable energies. Companies dedicated to specialized services, project and simulators supply, operator training, inservice inspection and support and exploitation improvement systems development, including among their clients all the Spanish nuclear companies as well as a great number of foreign organizations. The competitive and expert Spanish nuclear industry that is hereafter presented is a guarantee that nuclear technology in Spain is not only maintained but also in constant development to support the nuclear power plants currently in operation and to cater to a growing international nuclear market.
