Nuclear uprate projects in the USA are rolling out on a major scale. With a projected 46 uprate projects to be undertaken between now and 2014, massive spend is inevitable right across the industry.

“An increasing number of US utilities are opting to increase the generating

capacities of their existing nuclear power reactors, creating a $25 billion

market, according to the Shaw Group”

World Nuclear News, January 2010

There is a pressing need to ensure that project times and costs are kept to a minimum in order to ensure that maximum ROI is achieved. With the average cost of uprating a facility standing at anything from $250-$500 million, this is an unavoidable cost for power plant owners/utilities.

Given the huge need for information off the back of this, Nuclear Energy Insider is hosting a new conference in their nuclear series that will look at the major issues associated with uprate projects in the US.

The Nuclear Power Uprate Conference, June 21 – 22, 2010 in Washington DC will tackle all of the issues and assess the opportunities presented by uprate projects right across the country.

CUTTING POWER UPRATE COSTS – YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE

The total cost of the nuclear uprate market in the USA is estimated at $25 billion. Utilities/plant owners are looking for ways to cut costs but crucially, this has to be done without compromising safety and quality or missing tight deadlines.

Over the past six months we’ve spoken to over 100 of your industry peers to identify and address the most challenging issues surrounding the development of power uprate projects in the USA. As a result, you can be assured that we’ll be providing not only the very best speakers, but a wholly relevant agenda which offers cast-iron solutions to the problems that matter most to you.

EVENT AT A GLANCE

Senior level decision makers from utilities/owners who want to discover the latest technologies and services for planning and executing nuclear uprate projects.

WHO WILL BE THERE?

Developing an effective nuclear uprate strategy requires you to consider a variety of pressing issues such as:

• Planning the uprate initiative• Parameters for uprates over fossil fuels• Regulatory approval• Impact of further life extensions on uprates• Monitoring and material degradation• Risk mitigation• Margin management• Feasibility study• Meeting environmental considerations• Overcoming safety and insurance concerns• Learning from relevant case studies• Understanding project management

• Overcoming procurement challenges
