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.

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 25-30 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.

6

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. 1951 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 1999. 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 1985.

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.

7

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

8

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

9

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, in-

service 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.

The company’s geographical presence is mainly on the

Atlantic area: Europe, United States and Latin America,

which are the markets where it plans to continue growing

in the next few years. Iberdrola is the leading Spanish energy

company, has positioned itself as one of the main operators

in the United Kingdom after the merger with Scottish

Power, which was completed in 2007, and is also taking

important steps towards its consolidation in the United

States – in 2008 it purchased Energy East, now known as

Iberdrola USA.

Iberdrola will continue to encourage its international

expansion, its growth in the areas of clean energy and

distribution grids and the ongoing improvement of its

efficiency, the axes of its activity for the upcoming years. In

this regard, it plans to accumulate an 18,000 million euro

investment in the 2010-2012 period.


Company key figures

Following the strong growth and internationalization process that

begun in 2001, Iberdrola is today one of the world’s five main

In 1998, as a result of a merger between the companies that independently managed the Ascó and Vandellós

II Nuclear Power Plants, an economic interest group known as Asociación Nuclear Ascó-Vandellós II, A.I.E.

(ANAV) was born. The rather similar technologies of both plants, and their relatively close locations led

their owner utilities to integrate them in a common management company.

ANAV’s work is committed to operating the Ascó and Vandellós II Plants safely, reliably, giving the

environment its due respect and on a long term basis, so as to produce electric energy, an essential element

for economic and social development.

This commitment is expressed both by the group’s investments on the Plants to guarantee their safe and

long term operationg, and by the direct activities on the field, acting to promote the economic, social and

cultural development of the towns in the influence areas of both Plants.

The staff working at the Ascó and Vandellós II Nuclear Power Plants play a fundamental role in the day-to-

day routine of the sites. The sum of ANAV’s job positions and those of the stable cooperating companies

amount to nearly 2,300, making this group an economic reference both in the province of Tarragona and in

the whole of Catalonia. In this regard, recent studies carried out by the Economics Department at the

Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona show that the economic impact produced by the activities of ANAV’s

Plants and that of its workers multiplies by four the generation of wealth and jobs in Catalonia, an effect

that is especially intense on the province of Tarragona, where the direct, indirect and induced effect from

ANAV and its workers represents approximately 3% of the province’s Gross Domestic Product.

ASCÓ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant is located on the right bank of the

Ebro river in the district of Ribera de Ebro, in the municipal area

of Ascó in the province of Tarragona. Construction began in 1972

and 81% of the construction and equipment assembly work was

carried out by Spanish companies.

The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant has two pressurised water

reactors (PWR), the cooling water for the two units being

provided by the Ebro river.

19


Unit I of the Plant, with a thermal power of 2,940.6 MWt and an electric output of 1,032.5 MWe, is the property

of ENDESA, and initiated its commercial operation on December 10th 1984.

Unit II, with a thermal power of 2,940.6 MWt and an electrical output of 1,027.2 MWe, is jointly owned by

ENDESA (85%) and IBERDROLA (15%), and initiated its commercial operation on March 30th 1986.

In recent years, both units at the Plant have recovered load factors over 90%, this of course depending on whether

the necessary shutdowns take place during the year in order to reload fuel and carry out preventive maintenance

activities. This evolution brings with it a progressive increase in investments and operation and maitenance costs,

which in 2010 exceeded 90 million euros in investments destined to renew and update the Plant’s systems and

equipment, so as to guarantee the safety and reliability of both units and the 170 millions in operation and

maintenance costs.

The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant has a staff of nearly 500 people, of which approximately half are university

graduates. It must be added that the Plant has over 750 staff from stable cooperating companies and that during

reload periods there is an addition of between 800 and 1,000 workers from around 35 local companies.

The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant has initiated work on the future Information Centre that will open its doors in

2011. This Centre was designed as an interactive space for the diffusion of energy and the functioning of a nuclear

power plant. The project responds to ANAV’s multiple goals to promote a public approach to energy and how

nuclear power plants work, generating an added value that complements the offer of Ribera d’Ebre to attract

visitors to the area and cater to the existing demand of visits to the Plant.

VANDELLÓS II NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The Vandellós II Nuclear Power Plant is located on the Mediterranean coast in the province of

Tarragona, in the municipal area of L'Hospitalet de L'Infant and Vandellós, being the only Spanish Plant

that extracts the cooling water necessary for its operation from the sea.

National participation in the construction and supply of equipment for this Plant amounted to more

than 89% of the total, the highest percentage achieved in Spain in this type of projects.

The Plant has a pressurised water reactor (PWR) with a thermal power of 2,940.6 MWt and an

electrical power of 1,087.14 MWe, and is jointly owned by ENDESA (72%) and IBERDROLA (28%). The

investments and operation and maitenance costs. In 2009 investments exceeded 110 million euros,

coinciding with the set up of a new safety cooling system and in 2010 they exceeded 80 million euros. As

to the maintenance and operation costs, they are over 100 million euros per annum.

The Vandellós II Nuclear Power Plant houses ANAV’s corporative headquarters. Between the Plant and

the corporate services, the site has a workforce in excess of 1,000 people, of which approximately 480

are ANAV workers and nearly 550 come from stable cooperating companies. During reload periods there

is an addition of between 800 and 1,000 workers from around 35 local companies.

Currently, the Vandellós II plant does not have an information centre and all visitors are sent to Ascó, with

the exception of the technical or institutional visits that are received at the Plant.

COFRENTES NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant is property of the electric company IBERDROLA.

It is located in the municipal area of Cofrentes in the province of Valencia, on the right flank of the Júcar river

at the tail end of the Embarcaderos reservoir.

It functions via a nuclear system of steam production composed by a BWR/6 type boiling water reactor,

provided by the North American company General Electric Company, with a thermal power of 3,237 MWt and

an electrical power output of 1,092 MW. The Plant is cooled by means of a closed circuit through two natural

draft towers.

Below is an operational diagram:

Authorization for construction was granted in 1975, being connected to the national electric grid nine years later,

on October 1984.

Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant is currently the main electricity generating centre in the Community of Valencia,

generating 34% of the produced energy and covering 31% of the demand (data from REE 2009). At the national

level, the plant produces approximately 4% of the country's overall electricity.

Along with its activity as one of the country’s most important electric energy production centres, Cofrentes

Nuclear Power Plant maintains a rather intense and important relationship with its social environment. It is

noteworthy to mention the visits made to the Information Centre by diverse schools and associations, with an

average of 4,000 visitors per year.

The year round, non-stop operation of Cofrentes prevents the import of 14 million petrol oil barrels and the

emission of 6,5 million Tm CO2 into the atmosphere.

Below is a graph with the annual accumulated production at the Plant:

During 2010, the Plant functioned nonstop the 365 days of the year, generating a final production of 9,549 million kWh,

with a Load Factor of 99.82% and an Operational Factor of 100%. This data has become the Plant’s greatest historical

production, above the annual production obtained in 2006 with 9,219 million kWh.

As regards optimization and process enhancement, top priority attention is placed on site safety both from the nuclear

viewpoint and that of risk prevention at the workplace, as well as of protection of the environment and strict compliance

with nuclear standards and other applicable regulation.

The Plant has a Management Plan that assures orderly performance in the areas of greatest trascendence for its correct

functioning. This Plan currently encompasses 64 projects, 47 of which are prioritary action and the rest (17) ongoing

action. The key elements that conform the Management Plan are People, Organization and Site. The interaction of all three

is fundamental to reach the established goals.

In May 2010, the specialized magazine Nuclear Engineering International published a world ranking of nuclear power

plants based on their Load Factor in relation to their full functioning life. In this list, Cofrentes held position 47 (out of

the 394 plants of which the magazine possessed enough data to ellaborate the list), with an accumulated Load Factor of

84.67%.

At the end of 2009, a team from WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) composed by 22 international

experts carried out at the Plant a test known as Peer Review. In these tests, voluntarily requested by the plants, experts

compare the plants’ activities with the international standards of nuclear industry in order to identify areas that might

be susceptible of improvement as well as the strongholds of the evaluated sites. The previous conclusions from the expert

group endorsed Cofrentes’ high compromise with operative safety.

Also in 2009 Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant held its second External Evaluation of Safety Culture, with methodology

from Dr. Sonja Haber, and which was carried out by herself. This evaluation took place via documentary revision, polls,

observations (of meetings and onsite) and interviews. The conclusion was that the Plant is responsible and efficient in

matters of nuclear safety.

SANTA MARÍA DE GAROÑA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The Santa María de Garoña Nuclear Power Plant is located in the province of Burgos, on a meander of the Ebro

river close to the town of the same name in the Tobalina Valley, at the tail end of the Sobrón reservoir. The Plant

is the property of NUCLENOR SA (Iberdrola 50% and Endesa 50%), a company which started its business activity

in 1957 and was a pioneer in Spain in the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation.

The Plant has a boiling water reactor (BWR) with a thermal power of 1,381 MW and an electrical output of 466

MWe.

The annual production of the Plant is equivalent to 30% of the electricity consumption in the Autonomous

Community of Castilla and Leon, and to 7% of the Spanish nuclear production. The Garoña Plant prevents more

than 2,5 million tons of CO2 from being released to the atmosphere every year.

The results obtained during the operating lifetime of the Plant reflect a continuous improvement, since the last

ten years show operating and electric grid connection factors of over 90%.

Since the early days of operation, the managers of NUCLENOR have applied a policy of Plant technological

upgrading and updating that has produced a substantial improvement in the site’s performance.

Since 1996, Garoña has voluntarily undergone six independent international inspections to verify its operation. The

results highlight the fact that the Plant is in excellent technical conditions and that all its personnel are committed

to the safety and reliability of the Plant.

As planned, in 2006 Nuclenor applied for the renewal of its operating license for a new ten-year period. The

application was accompanied by a series of studies and analyses that justified Santa María de Garoña’s capacity for

longterm operation in safe and reliable conditions.

The Nuclear Safety Council issued a favourable report on June 5th 2009 to Santa María de Garoña’s application for

a ten year renewal. However, according to the Ministerial Order of July 6th, the Ministry of Industry decided to

renew the operating license only up until July 2013, declaring the termination of activities at the Plant on that date.

On September 14th 2009, Nuclenor presented to Spain’s National High Court an appeal against the Ministry’s order,

as it was understood that said order does not conform to law. Currently this appeal is underway and pending

resolution.

Nuclenor is one of the most important companies in the Autonomous Community of Castilla and Leon, thanks to

its turnover – it is among the twenty largest companies in the Community – and to its human and material resources.

More than 1,000 professionals, from Nuclenor and from over 50 collaborating companies, work at the site on a

permanent basis.

In 1992 the Plant’s Information Centre was inaugurated, with a view to informing the public on the activities in the

facility. The Centre has a surface area of around 800 m2 and, since the beginning of its operation, has been visited by

an average of over 15,000 people a year. Most of these visitors are high school and University students.

ALMARAZ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant is located in the municipal area of Almaraz (in the province of Cáceres).

The Plant site occupies an area of 1,683 hectares. The Plant is owned by Iberdrola by 53%, Endesa by 36%

and Gas Natural Fenosa by the remaining 11%. Construction began in 1972 and 81% of the total plant

construction and equipment assembly work was undertaken by Spanish companies.

The Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant has two pressurised light water (PWR) reactors, each with a thermal

power output of 2,947 MWt. Electric power amounts to 1,035.27 MWe in the case of Unit I and 980 MWe

in the case of Unit II (Currently undergoing a power increase process to a level similar to that of Unit I).

Each of the reactors has a three loop coolant circuit. Each loop incorporates a coolant pump and a steam

generator. Both coolant circuits are housed in the respective containments of the two reactor buildings. The

steam from the generators is channelled to the turbine building, which houses both turbine generator sets

in one same room, albeit independently. The cooling system (common to both installations) is an open circuit

from the cold source of the Arrocampo reservoir, built especially for this purpose.

In November 1999, the owner companies of the Almaraz and Trillo Nuclear

Power Plants constituted the Economic Interest Group "Centrales Nucleares

Almaraz-Trillo, A.I.E" for the integrated operation, management and

administration of both Plants, their shareholding in the ownership of the

facilities remaining unaltered.

With this decision, the owner companies (Iberdrola, Endesa, Gas Natural

Fenosa, HC Energía and Nuclenor) reinforce their commitment to the safe

and reliable operation of the two Plants and their confidence in nuclear

energy within a diversified and environmentally friendly sector.

The Group has a work force of 775 people (43% of which are advance degree

graduates) , distributed between the headquarters in Madrid and the two

sites: Almaraz with 391 workers (40% advance degree graduates) and Trillo

with 304 workers (40% advance degree graduates).

Unit I entered into commercial service on May 1st 1981, followed by Unit II on October 8th 1983. The facility is

designed to operate as a base load plant, i.e. without interruption, and is capable of ensuring an annual average

supply of 16,000 million kWh.

The Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant produces 8% of the electricity generated within the ordinary regime in Spain and

is the electricity generating facility that has most contributed to the national grid throughout its history.

In recent years, both Units have operated with load and operating factors in excess of 90%. Especially noteworthy

is the fact that in 1998 Unit I obtained an operating factor of 100% and that in 2001 it achieved availability and load

factors of 99.81% and 99.18%, respectively. In 1993 and 2002, Unit II achieved an operating factor of 100%. These

results place Almaraz among the best in the world’s nuclear power plant fleet.

The Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant has a work force of 391 people, 40% of which are university graduates, as well

as the cooperation of highly qualified personnel from contractor companies. Training is a key factor for the constant

improvement of safety, quality, efficiency and competitiveness.

With a view to informing public opinion of the reality of its activities, the Plant has an Information Centre that

began to receive visits in February 1977, four years before the Plant initiated its operation, allowing visitors to gain

direct insight into what a nuclear power plant is and how it operates. Since it opened, the Information Centre has

been visited by almost 600,000 people, the equivalent to 60% of the population of the Autonomous Community of

Extremadura. Most of the visitors are students from institutes, schools and universities, the majority from this

Community.

JOSÉ CABRERA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The José Cabrera Nuclear Power Plant, better known as Zorita, is located in the municipality of Almonacid

de Zorita, in the province of Guadalajara, although the village closest to the Plant is Zorita de los Canes.

At 23:31 hours on April 30th 2006, the José Cabrera Nucler Powr Plant was definitively disconnecte from

the power grid, in compliance with the order issued by the then Ministry of Economy on October 14th 2002.

The Plant was in operation for 38 years, from 1968 to 2006.

Following the shutdown of the Plant until the end of 2009, the José Cabrera Nuclear Power Plant carried

out several activities leading to the adequacy and preparation of the installation for its definitive dismantling.

Some of these activities worthy of mention are those related to the conditioning of the waste generated

during exploitation, the unloading of irradiated fuel and its transportation in dry containers from the storage

pool to the Individualised Temporary Warehouse located in the same area.

On February 11th 2010, the Plant’s ownership was transferred to the waste management agency Empresa

Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos (ENRESA), in order to carry out the Dismantling Plan and the Plant’s shut-

down.

This Plant, property of Gas Natural Fenosa, , constituted a technological milestone since it was the first

nuclear power plant to be constructed in Spain. From the very start it operated with maximum guarantees

of safety, respecting and caring for surroundings under the constant supervision of the Nuclear Safety

Council.

Zorita had a pressurised water reactor (PWR) with a thermal power level of 510 MWt and an electrical

output of 150.1 Mwe. Construction began in July 1965 and the Plant began commercial operation in August

1969. This Plant, which like all nuclear power plants operated in base load mode, i.e., 24 hours a day, 365 days

a year, has produced electricity for almost 38 years. During this time it produced a total 36,515 million

kilowatts-hour, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 25 provinces like Guadalajara.

The annual average production of the Plant was around 1,100 million kilowatt-hours, this representing

approximately 20% of the electricity demand of the Autonomous Community of Castilla – La Mancha or

almost 75% of the electricity consumption in the province of Guadalajara.

The results of the Environmental Management Programme during operation of the Plant show that the

quality of the environment in the area surrounding the Plant has remained unaltered.

Througout its operation, the Plant has also undertaken a series of activities aimed at favouring the socio-

economic, cultural and educational enrichment of the local population, via cooperation agreements with

town councils and organisations in the area.

Due to its being the first Spanish facility to use nuclear energy to generate electricity, theJosé Cabrera

Nucler Power Plant has been a school for nuclear professionals and a source of experience for the sector.

A highly qualified workforce has been continously trained, thus guaranteeing high levels of qualification and

the updating of know-how.

Thoroughout these almost four decades of operation, the Plant has provided employment for 300 workers

directly and some 6,000 indirectly. Following shoudonwn of the Plant, 50 persons remain on site to carry

out the pre-dismantling phase.

Business objective

Enusa’s goal is to work towards an improvement in its

competitiveness, thus maintaining the quality of its current

production and the recognition shown by regulators, institutions

and clients alike, as well as contributing towards the

socioeconomic development of the areas wherein it operates.

Enusa has three work centres and two industrial sites: The Juzbado

fuel element manufacturing facility and an environmental centre in

Ciudad Rodrigo, both in the province of Salamanca. Its

headquarters are located in Madrid.

Enusa was set up in 1972 under the name of Empresa Nacional del Uranio, as part

of an initiative that aimed to promote the nuclear component in energy

development in Spain. Today it is Enusa Industrias Avanzadas, S.A., a public company

whose 60% of shares belong to the State industrial holding company SEPI (Sociedad

Estatal de Participaciones Industriales), which reports to the Ministry of Economy

and the Exchequer. The other 40% belongs to the National Centre for Energy

Related, Environmental and Technological Research CIEMAT (Centro de

Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas), which reports to the

Ministry of Enducation and Science.


With its presence at the Juzbado manufacturing facility since

1985, Enusa’s fuel elements manufacturing plant is one of Europe’s

most innovative, as it incorporates state of the arts technology

that optimizes resources and protects the environment. The site

has specialized, highly qualified staff that encompasses the entire

fuel producing cycle: handling the enriched uranium supply and

the components required for manufacturing, assembling fuel

elements, developing equipment for the manufacture and

inspection of PWR (pressurised water reactor, under license from

Westinghouse), BWR (boiling water reactors, General Electric

USA) and VVER (manufactured between 2001 and 2007 and

destined for the Loviisa pressurised water plant in Finland).

Fuel

Company key figures

Juzbado’s current production license is for 500 tons of enriched

uranium a year. The accumulated production throughout the 25

years of Juzbado’s operation has been of 5,300 tons of enriched

uranium, the equivalent to 2,000,000 GWh, an amount that would

supply Spain’s entire electricity demand during 8 years.

Since its beginnings, the Juzbado factory has provided over 17,000

fuel elements: 8,700 PWR fuel elements, 8,200 BWR fuel elements

and 741 VVER fuel elements.


Enusa is structured around three major lines of business:

The Front End of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: This is the

company’s traditional and most important activity. It basically

consists of providing the enriched uranium for Spain’s nuclear

power plants, acting as a procurement centre for the country’s

electricity companies. This includes the design and manufacturing of

nuclear fuel in its factory at Juzbado (Salamanca), destined to

national and foreign nuclear power plants. Enusa also renders

engineering services in everything pertaining the management and

optimization of the use of fuel in the reactor, and specialized

service in the inspection, repair and handling of fresh and irradiated

fuel at the plants.

Additionally, the company has two minoritary financial participants,

related to its main line of business: one is the European uranium

enrichment consortium EURODIF, which exploits a uranium

enrichment factory in Tricastin (France). The other one is the

COMINAK corporation, which owns a mine and a uranium

concentrate plant in the Republic of Niger.

The Environment: As a result of its long experience in the

operation of mining exploitations, Enusa has acquired ample

environmental know-how. Using this know-how and experience it

Currently, Enusa’s complete staff amounts to 613 workers (201 at

the head office in Madrid, 387 at the Juzbado factory and 25 at the

environmental centre in Ciudad Rodrigo).

As regards the staff’s qualifications, the structure is divided as

follows:

Managers 10

Master’s Degree graduates 208

has developed an ambitious area of business in environmental

management projects, structured around two areas of work: the

restoration of disused uranium mines and the Environmental

Technical Office. Enusa’s environmental activitiy is increased by the

affiliate companies TECONMA (environment protection services

and environmental impact reduction services through

technologies applied to the conservation of the environment in

civil works) and EMGRISA (industrial waste handling and

treatment and characterization of contaminated waters and

grounds).

Industrial Shareholdings: Enusa’s acquired experience in the

nuclear sector and its great technological potential have led the

company to implement a diversification policy. As a result of this,

it financially participates in industrial companies such as ETSA and

Enusegur, (transport of hazardous or high responsibility goods)

and Molypharma (radiopharmacy and the production of PET

radiopharmaceuticals).

These three affiliates, together with the parent company Enusa

Industrias Avanzadas and the environmental subsidiaries, form the

Enusa Group.

Business objective

From its very beginnings, ENSA was equipped with an adequate

infrastructure for the areas of Design, Engineering, Quality

Assurance, Inspection, Procurement, Projects and

Manufacturing, as well as with a Laboratory and Workshop

technically capable of undertaking the manufacturing of major

components. The company was initially set up with both private

and public shareholders and now belongs entirely to the State

industrial holding company SEPI.

The company was originally conceived exclusively for the

supply of major components for nuclear power plants, but has

since been driven by the market situation to evolve towards

alternative products and to identify other areas of activity

complementary to the manufacturing of large components for

such facilities.

Equipos Nucleares, S.A. (ENSA) was created in 1973 with the purpose of

manufacturing primary circuit components for both PWR and BWR type

nuclear power plants (NSSS): Reactor Vessel, Internals, Steam Generators,

Pressuriser and Primary Piping.

The company headquarters are in Madrid, housing the offices of

the Chairman and the General Management, and the factory is in

Maliaño (Cantabria), a town located to the south of Santander Bay

and very close to the capital.


In 1980 a specific business area was set up to provide services

to operating plants (assembly and maintenance). Part of this

group was subsequently integrated into ENWESA, a mixed

company with Westinghouse Technical Services, wherein

ENSA is the major shareholder.

Over the more than 35 years that have passed since its

creation ENSA has supplied equipment for nuclear power

plants of different design types (General Electric,

Westinghouse, Framatome, Siemens...) throughout the world,

with acknowledged quality levels. In some of these supplies, as

well as in others where it has not intervened in manufacturing

(such as General Electric’s ABWR and Westinghouse’s AP600),

the company has participated in structural design calculation.

Over the last 20 years, and in addition to the supply of primary

circuit equipment (Vessel, Internals, Steam Generators,

Pressuriser and Primary Piping), ENSA has provided a large

number of Spent Fuel Casks (transport and storage) and

Racks for the storage of spent fuel in the pools of nuclear

power plants in Spain and abroad (USA, China, Great Britain,

Korea, Finland, South Africa, Taiwan, Japan).

ENSA holds ASME Code (N, NPT and NA seals), TÜV and ISO

9001 and 14001 accreditations, among others.

ENSA has actively participated as the company in charge of part of

the design in international projects for 4th Generation reactors.

As regards fuel, the company has not been limited to

manufacturing designs developed by others but has taken a highly

significant qualitative step, developing and licensing its own designs

for casks and racks, such as the transport and storage cask

currently being used at the Trillo Nuclear Power Plant (DPT) and

a transport and storage cask for Hitachi (licensed in Japan). Based

on the experienced gathered from these developments, it is

presently at work on the design of a new fuel cask for PWR

nuclear power plants (ENUN-P), soon to be presented for

licencing.

As to Racks for the pools at the plants, ENSA has provided this

equipment to all the national plants (the last one was to Cofrentes

NPP) and also to several foreign plants such as the ones in

Olkiluoto (Finland), Lungmen and Kuosheng (Taiwan), Yonggwang

(Korea) and Ling-Ao (China).

Complementing the manufacturing activities, ENSA performs

numerous assembly, maintenance and repair activities at operating

nuclear power plants as well as the setup and assembly of some of

the manufactured equipment.

Nuclear activities have also been compatibilized with the

manufacturing of components for research centres (CERN,

UKAEA, EPRI, etc.), institutions (NASA, EURATOM, Max Planck

Institute), offshore oil platform manufacturing, Technical

Assistance Services to other companies, and especially for the last

few years with the manufacturing of pressurised components for

the chemical and petrochemical industry.

In the nuclear field, ENSA's main product is steam generators, of

which more than 100 of Westinghouse, Siemens and Framatome

designs have been manufactured. The last deliveries were four

steam generators for Diablo Canyon (USA), vessel internals for

the Oskarshan and Forsmark nuclear power plants and the

container lid for the Vandellós II nuclear Power Plant. In the

replacement market, ENSA currently manufactures two

generators for the American market (Westinghouse design), three

generators and a pressuriser for Belgium (Framatome design). For

new sites it is manufacturing four generators for the Chinese

market (Westinghouse design) and three generators for the

French market (Framatome design). There are also several orders

to supply new components for the American market

(Westinghouse designed AP1000 generators and General Electric

designed ESBWR vessels).

As to fuel containers, it is manufacturing six new DPT model

containers for the Trillo nuclear power plant and 20 TN design

containers for the American market.

Business objective

GEH offers customers innovative solutions that make nuclear

energy the smart choice for a cleaner and more secure energy

future. GEH is committed to serving the needs of customers,

communities and the environment with a balanced portfolio of

advanced technologies, trusted services and global energy

experience for the world’s growing energy needs.

Services, Products and Technologies available

The GE and Hitachi alliance is recognized as the world’s foremost

developer of boiling water reactors, robust fuel cycle products and

highly valued nuclear plant services. Beginning in the 1950s, GE

developed breakthrough light water technology with the Boiling

Water Reactor (BWR). Since that time, GE has developed nine

evolutions of BWR technology including the ABWR, the world’s

first operational Generation III Class advanced light water design

and, most recently, the ESBWR, our latest Generation III+ Class

design that combines advanced safety features, improved

economics, and new operational efficiencies.

Nuclear Plant Projects� Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR)

The ABWR is the world’s first and only Generation III nuclear

plant design in operation today, providing the benefit of a

combined 20 reactor-years of operational experience. GEH’s first

ABWR began commercial operation at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa in

Japan, in 1996. Three additional ABWRs are operating in Japan with

two more under construction in Japan, and two in Taiwan. The

ABWR is licensed in the U.S., Japan and Taiwan.

� Economic and Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR)

The ESBWR is a GEH-designed Gen III+ reactor currently in the

U.S. Design Certification process.

This simplified design provides improved safety, excellent

economics, better plant security, a broad seismic design envelope

and operational flexibility that increases plant availability. ESBWR

employs passive safety design features. It is a simplified reactor

design, allowing faster construction and lower operating costs.

GEH is a world-leading provider of advanced reactors and nuclear services.

Established in June 2007, GEH is a global nuclear alliance created by GE and Hitachi

to serve the global nuclear industry. The nuclear alliance executes a single, strategic

vision to create a broader portfolio of solutions, expanding its capabilities for new

reactor and service opportunities. The alliance offers customers around the world

the technological leadership required to effectively enhance reactor performance,

power output and safety.

� Power Reactor Innovative Small Modular reactor (PRISM)

The PRISM is a reactor that uses liquid sodium as a coolant. This

coolant allows the neutrons in the reactor to have a higher energy

(sometimes called fast-reactors) that drive fission of the

transuranics, converting them into short-lived "fission products."

This reaction produces heat energy, which is converted into

electrical energy in a conventional steam turbine.

Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF)GNF is a world-leading supplier of boiling water reactor fuel,

including uranium dioxide and MOX fuel and fuel-related

engineering services. GNF operates primarily through Global

Nuclear Fuel-Americas, LLC in Wilmington, N.C., and Global

Nuclear Fuel-Japan Co. Ltd. in Kurihama, Japan. GNF continues to

strategically expand the nuclear fuel cycle by offering customers an

extensive portfolio of dependable and innovative fuel solutions.

Nuclear Plant ServicesAs nuclear plants get older and worldwide demand for cleaner

energy increases, GEH offers a wide range of valuable services that

can improve performance, increase power output and extend

plant life. GEH provides the technical leadership and experience

for all operational and expansion requirements.

Performance Enhancement ProgramsAdvanced products and services improving performance and

safety, such as Plant Uprating and Optimization Programs, Lifetime

Management, New Instrumentation and Control Platforms or the

new Reactor Water quality surveillance program (WaterCare™.)


Although GEH has no production centers in Spain, GE has based

its strategy on alliances with national partners with whom it has

developed strong technology links. This has led to a framework of

mutual benefits through which the Spanish industry has been able

to participate with GEH many projects throughout the world. The

alliances with the following companies are particularly

noteworthy:

Empresarios Agrupados has collaborated with GEH in

proposals and projects for new plants in several countries, with a

wide range of scopes and has been the main project engineering

firm for the Cofrentes and Valdecaballeros plants. They also

participated in the certification efforts for the new ABWR and

ESBWR designs.

As regard nuclear fuel, links with ENUSA date back to 1974 and

since that time some 8,000 GEH design fuel assemblies have been

manufactured for 13 BWR reactors in Europe. Since 1996, GEH has

been commercializing Fuel and associated services for Europe

through the Spanish company GENUSA, held jointly by GNFA and

ENUSA.

In the area of Reactor Components, ENSA has supplied several

different items of equipment for the Lungmen ABWR project and

in the near future will supply reactor vessels and fuel racks for the

new ESBWR designs. It has also manufactured replacement

components for delivery to operating plants.

Since 1992, GE has had a Cooperation Agreement with

TECNATOM, trough which the two companies have jointly

developed non-destructive testing equipment and have participated

in Inspection Services in more than 25 nuclear plants worldwide

and in the design of Man-Machine interfaces for certain new

reactor designs.

This high degree of participation by the national nuclear industry

at world level should be valued especially in view of the fact that

GE has access to a wide range of partners and suppliers on the five

continents. This is clear indication of the capacities and

competitiveness of the sector, which will be strengthened in future

projects for new reactors across the world, some already under

way.

The activity of COPISA Group is supported by a long and fruitful

experience. Its history of efforts and achievements is held by an efficient

working method, by being answerable to their clients at all times and by

taking into themselves the goal of social development.


The beginnings of the company belong to the historical

electrification process in Cataluña, led in the fifties by FECSA. In

959, this company promoted the creation of Constructora

Pirenaica S.A., COPISA, born with the mission to carry out some

work for FECSA at the Arán Valley. Shortly afterwards, and very

near to that area, in the Cardós Valley, COPISA initiated an

enormous hydroelectric complex. Over the span of 15 years, the

company destined very large amounts of human and technical

resources to all the constructive aspects of this project,

consolidating it as one of the most experimented firms in works

of large complexity and magnitude.

COPISA enhances its specialization in the field of energy with

important milestones such as nuclear power plants. The most

important and significative buildings of the total of each group

were contention, auxiliary, control and turbins.

Business Objective

Since its foundation to the current year 2011, ours has been the

only national laboratory homologated by the Quality Guarantee

Group of Owners of Spanish Nuclear Plants in order to carry out

seismic simulation tests on Class 1E equipment, which are those

that, in case of earthquake, must guarantee the following:

� Reactor emergency shut-down.

� Isolation of the Containment Building.

� Reactor Nucleus cooling.

� Heat extraction from the Reactor and the Containment

Building.

� Any other function that might be essential to prevent significant

leaks of radioactivity to the environment.

In this context, despite the Nuclear Moratorium established in

Spain in the mid-eighties, which paralyzed the construction of five

reactors with the subsequent reduction in testing activities,

VIRLAB’s propietary group, URBAR INGENIEROS, was confident

in its laboratory and maintained its activity.

VIRLAB is a private vibration and shock test lab. It was built in 1976 and

belongs to the group URBAR INGENIEROS, S.A., the mother company,

manufacturers of vibrating machinery since the fifties.

Our laboratory has been certified to carry out seismic qualification tests, firstly

by the Ministry of Industry and Energy since 1981 and secondly by RELE, the

Spanish Test Laboratories Network, from 1986. Currently, VIRLAB is qualified

to carry out vibration and shock tests according to what is indicated in its

certification no. 54/LE131 from July 1st 1993, issued by ENAC, the National

Accreditation Body, and which replaced RELE in the mid-nineties.

Since its creation in 1976 to the present day, the laboratory’s goal

has been to maintain and improve its installations so as to provide

a better service to the Spanish nuclear industry, but not giving up

the opportunity to make it profitable. For this reason we have had

to diversify with other sectors such as railroads, wind power, the

military, etc.


Our laboratory has a total of four vibrating tables, two of which

are oleohydraulic, designed and manufactured in collaboration

with URBAR INGENIEROS; the other two being electrodynamic.

The main characteristics of our vibrating tables are the following:

New plants: Westinghouse contributes to the nuclear renaissance

with AP1000, its III+ Generation reactor. AP1000’s technology is

the only one under construction that complies with the basic

requisites of this new generation of reactors: passive security,

simplification of systems, greater efficiency and modular

construction. Since 2006, four AP1000 reactors are under

construction in China and another four in the United States since

2009. Making use of the experience obtained by Initec in building

Spanish plants, Westinghouse’s office in Madrid actively participates

in the detail engineering of the AP1000 reactor for the

aforementioned countries. Westinghouse is developing new

versions of the AP1000 and has initiated several development

projects for a new small modular reactor. In addition to this,

Westinghouse cooperates with Toshiba in the deployment of its

ABWR reactor in the United States and Europe.


Westinghouse’s presence in Spain began in the mid-sixties with

the supply, under a turnkey contract, of the José Cabrera Nuclear

Power Plant to the electric company Unión Eléctrica Madrileña.

Already in 1972 Westinghouse had its own office in Madrid, and

since then its presence has been permanent and active in its

service to the Spanish nuclear power plants. In 2001,

Westinghouse acquired Initec’s nuclear division, thus expanding

its business in Spain. Nowadays, Westinghouse has 400 employees

in Spain in three locations: Madrid, Vandellós and Hospitalet de

L’Infant.

Several Spanish companies have purchased Westinghouse’s

technology while at the same time becoming its associates both

in Spain and in other European countries. Among them are

ENUSA, ENSA and TECNATOM.

Objective

ANCI was set up in 1997 as a new voice towards the Public

Administration –a main client of its members– and towards other

economic, political and social authorities, in order to meet the

need of adapting the organizational structure of the construction

sector to the new scenario created by the political, administrative

and territorial changes of the country, and also with the objective

of promoting competence.

ANCI’s goal is to collectively represent its members and thus

defend their interests in front of the Public Administrations, both

nationally (Central Government, Autonomous Regions, Local

Corporations) and internationally, as well as in front of any sort of

public or private institution.

ANCI, National National Association of Independent Construction Companies,

groups together twenty-five of the main construction companies in Spain, with

activity both inside and outside the country.

ANCI promotes collaboration and solidarity among its member

companies, in the interests of everyone, not only the associates

themselves but also the Construction sector as a whole, thanks

to aiming at maximum transparency in the awarding of contracts

for Public Works and encouraging equal opportunities for

companies, avoiding practices that may constitute barriers to free

competition.

ANCI has the determination to cooperate with public and private

institutions, both national and international, in every matter that

may result in sustainable economic growth, environmental

improvement and RDI promotion.

Association key figuresIn order to cover the operating costs of its activity, the Spanish

Nuclear Industry Forum, as a non profit-making association, derives

its income from the fees paid by each of its members.

96

Objective

Its objectives are the defense of common interest of member

companies towards Public Administrations, institutions and society,

as well as the representation of them all, both in Spain and abroad.

SEOPAN participates in a wide number of institutions as the

National Employers Confederation (CEOE), the National

Construction Confederation (CNC), AENOR, the National Labour

Foundation, the European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC)

and the European International Contractors (EIC), among others.

SEOPAN the Association of National

construction companies, was founded in

the year 1957 in Madrid. The founding

companies were 32, even though along

more than fifty years of existence, the

number of member has changed, reaching

41 companies at the present time.

The growing concentration process occurred in the last years has led into the creation

of major contractors groups, with sound internal structures, high financial and technical

capacity, competitive capability and international presence. At the present time, within

SEOPAN there are ten powerful and diversified groups, true Spanish multinationals,

which rank in many aspects in the first places within EU and world competitors.


SEOPAN activity concentrates in the ten major contractor

groups, by turnover. Among the ten groups, seven are in the Stock

Exchange (six in IBEX 35) and the other three are the major non

stock Spanish companies in construction, concessions and

services.

Construction activity of the ten major groups, as turnover,

represent 58,9% of total annual production with a value of 36.888

million euro.

A comparative analysis of the activity of ten major groups within

SEOPAN is the following:

Concerning labour and Ebitda, concessions and services activity of

member major groups have a greater relevance than construction

itself, a situation which is derived mainly from the clear world

leadership position of those companies in the rankings published

by the American review Public Works Financing related to world

transport infrastructures under construction and/or operation

since 1985.

Diversification and export activity, together with high technological

capability and high financial solvency of those companies places

them as world leaders in transport infrastructure concessions

(roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, harbours and airports) by number

of contracts under construction and operation since 1985 until

October 2010 with an initial investment of more than 50 million

US$. Among those 10 world leaders there are 7 Spanish

companies, 6 of them SEOPAN members.

The Spanish companies among the top ten are: ACS/Iridium,

FCC/Global Vía, Ferrovial/Cintra, Acciona, OHL, Sacyr and Abertis,

the first six being SEOPAN members.

High technical and innovative management, quality assurance,

environmental, information and control systems application allows

SEOPAN companies to handle great infrastructure projects,

characterized by economic and financial great scope, technical

difficulty and logistic complexity.

SEOPAN member companies are oriented towards project built-

in management- including financing, design, execution, operation

and maintenance-, which allows them to reach successfully the

challenge related with different infrastructure financing schemes.

All SEOPAN companies have implemented permanent programs

oriented towards safety, risk prevention and training of own

workers and subcontractors.
