12 C.I.S. A Partnership of Holtec and ELEA for Consolidated Interim Storage Holtec & ELEA, LLC s Vision for a Consolidated Interim Storage Facility a generation ahead by design By: Pierre Oneid Sr VP and Chief Nuclear Officer

13 Contents a generation ahead by design Why Consolidated Storage? Holtec Overview ELEA Overview Holtec s Proposed Technical Solution Timeline Conclusion 13

14 Why Consolidated Interim Storage? a generation ahead by design Some Storage Is In The Most Densely Populated Areas of U.S. D&D Plant Sites Want to Turn Them Back To Green Fields Transportation of SNF & HLW is Proven Safe Thousands of Tons Radioactivity Decreases Rapidly with Time. Gamma & Heat Decay Breach of Contracts - DOE Required To Take SNF In 1998 Settlement Fund Will Pay Out $20 Billion by 2020 From Treasury After 2020 Will Pay $500 Million Per Year Until CIS or Repository Dispels Arguments There Are No Solutions For SNF 14

15 Holtec International Company Overview Established in USA since 1986 Annual Revenues: Over $500 Million USD a generation ahead by design Headquarters Jupiter, FL Backlog: 6.0 Billion USD Over 1000 employees Corporate Technology Center Marlton, NJ No history of long-term debt Self financed company growth D&B (5A2) Power Generation Technologies 61 Patents plus 29 Pending Orrvilon, OH 1,000,000 Square Feet of Manufacturing-USA Turtle Creek, PA 15

16 A Global Leader in Power Generation Technologies a generation ahead by design Heat Transfer Equipment Spent Fuel and Non-Fuel Waste Dry Storage and Transport Casks In-pool Spent Fuel Storage Racks Dry Spent Fuel Loading Equipment Vertical Air Cooled Condensers Technical and Consulting Services 16

17 Holtec s Worldwide Dry Storage and Transport Experience a generation ahead by design 101 nuclear plants worldwide rely on Holtec s dry storage technology for their storage and transport needs; 59 domestic, 42 international 17

18 Holtec s Dry Storage &Transport Expertise Holtec offers a complete line of equipment for dry fuel storage and transportation 101 plants worldwide (59 in the U.S.) are under contract for use of Holtec s dry storage systems Over 770 Holtec canisters have been successfully loaded This number grows by canisters per year Holtec s experience includes PFS & Ukraine s Central Storage a generation ahead by design 18

19 Who is the EDDY-LEA Alliance? a generation ahead by design Alliance of the Cities of Carlsbad & Hobbs and the Counties of Eddy & Lea Formed Under the Local Economic Development Act (LEDA) for Economic Development Purposes in 2006 & to Respond to Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) Proposal from DOE ELEA purchased 1,000 acres of land approximately halfway between Carlsbad and Hobbs, N.M. for potential use 19

20 Why the ELEA Site? a generation ahead by design Land studied extensively during Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) process Remote location Geologic stability Dry area Infrastructure present, including rail Preexisting robust scientific and nuclear operations workforce STRONG CONSENT FROM AREA 20

21 a generation ahead by design 21

22 Holtec s Proposed Technical Solution a generation ahead by design HI-STORM UMAX (Holtec International STORage Module Universal MAXimum security) Complete physical protection by storing the fuel below grade in reinforced vertical silos Reinforced Concrete Top Pad Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Spent Fuel Canister Reinforced Concrete Base Mat Steel/Concrete Lid Steel Liner R E T R I E V A B L E 22

23 HI-STORM UMAX = Safe & Secure a generation ahead by design Safety: Utilizes the sub grade during storage for superior radiation protection to workers and public and to the stored contents from dangers presented by earthquakes and other extreme environmental phenomena such as hurricanes, tornado borne missiles, earthquakes, tsunamis Security: The above ground height of the HI-STORM UMAX is below waste height making the facility visibly inconspicuous & provides a clear, unobstructed view of the entire facility from any location 23

24 HI-STORM UMAX = Economical & Proven HI-STORM UMAX has already been constructed at Ameren Missouri's Callaway Nuclear Plant a generation ahead by design In December 2014, Southern California Edison selected the HI- STORM UMAX for storing the used nuclear fuel from the Decommissioned San Onofre NPP HI-STORM UMAX was selected because it is robust, can withstand the enhanced earthquake conditions, low sight line, and was flexible in layout design Completed HI-STORM UMAX ISFSI at Callaway ISFSI HI-STORM UMAX ISFSI Location at San Onofre Site

25 Preliminary Licensing & Construction Schedule a generation ahead by design Letter of intent Submitted to NRC.Aug 3, 2015 Pre-Application Meeting with NRC...Dec 1, 2015 Application Submittal to NRC.Jun 1, 2016 Safety Evaluation Report.Oct 30, 2018 License Issued Jan 30, 2019 Construction Phase I Begins..Apr 1, 2019 Operations Begin...Apr 1,

26 Conclusions a generation ahead by design CIS is a viable short-term solution for SNF The ELEA NM Site can be made available in Five years There are no technical impediments Holtec UMAX System is Certified by the NRC Benefits to NM are measured in Revenues and Jobs 26
