Structure of the New Build market International Utility, eg: EDF Utility or Reactor Vendor Reactor Vendor eg: Westinghouse Non-nuclear Island eg: Turbine Nuclear Island eg: Reactor General Support eg: Licensing Developer Prime Contractor Technology Provider Specialist Contractors VT can provide support to all of these sectors Early Traction: NII Frameworks Reactor components Expert support to reactor vendor Ongoing discussions with utilities and reactor vendors
20
Example: New Build Opportunity Total cost of a new build station will be in excess of £2bn per unit: ~15% is currently addressable by VT Group Nuclear Island £900m Non-Nuclear Island £700m General Support: £400m Design for Decommissioning Radwaste Plant Engineering Validation/ Inspection Specialist Manufacturing Source: IBM General Engineering Support Safety Case/ Environmental Impact Assessments
21
Example: New Build Opportunity – Operational Support Each Reactor costs ~10p/ KWh in operational support costs - £300M over the life of the plant Operations, Training, Logitsics c.4p/ KWh Maintenance, Repair, Spare Parts, Engineering c.6p/ KWh General Engineering Support Waste Processing Service Spent Fuel Storage Service Operator & Apprentice Training Source: Areva/ Nucleonics Week March 2009 40 Years of through life support
22
Summary Strong nuclear engineering and technical capability Bringing the VT Group customer-critical service delivery model to the nuclear sector Broadening into adjacent sectors of the nuclear market with long-term potential Positive feedback from early engagement with customers on this new approach
