10 BRINGING COMPETENCES TO THE NUCLEAR SECTOR The UK Nuclear Landscape 37 Nuclear Sites - UK FACT The UK has only 15 operating reactors across 8 sites with a generation capacity totalling 9.5 GWe. France has 58 generating 63.2 GWe 21% of its electricity but almost half of this capacity is to be retired by France produces 75% of electricity from Nuclear The country has full fuel cycle facilities including major reprocessing plants. EDF Energy spends about 600 million per year on upgrades to the eight plants (15 reactors) to enable ongoing operation In 2012 the UK government passed a house of commons bill to increase the UK nuclear capacity The government aims to have 16 GWe of new nuclear capacity operating by

19 BRINGING COMPETENCES TO THE NUCLEAR SECTOR Sellafield Product and Residue Store (SPRS) Scope of work: Assystem were contracted to design an encapsulation flask to contain product cans which may have become contaminated or pressurised during storage. The vessel must be designed as a pressure vessel whilst simultaneously being able to stop leakage during drop (impact) events.. The design brief was simply load cases and a design space, both internal and external. The Assystem design and analysis team produced 8 fully analysed iterations, each one tested using FEA for compatibility with pressure vessels as well as leakage during impact. The design and movement of the seals proved to be a key aspect in the design process: Civil Nuclear Advanced Analysis Mechanical Design Impact design / analysis Pressure Vessel Optioneering Robustness studies Safety / Risk PD5500 FEA (RADIOSS, DYNA) 19
