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 their operating fleet, it is more important than ever to understand the options available for refurbishment, modernization and general maintenance. With the announcement from EDF to look at 60 year lifetimes for their current fleet in France, costing approximately €400 to €600 million per unit, 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 is more 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 technically challenging. If costs and outage times are to be reduced then careful planning 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 e�ective O&M strategies to deliver e�ciencies, 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 a�ord to miss out? I look forward to seeing you in Brussels in May. Kindest regards, Dean MurphySenior Industry AnalystNuclear Energy Insider Tel: +44 (0) 207 375 7204Email: [email protected]
