17 Project Operational and Behavioural Criteria Project Timeline and Route to Market for UK Programme Regulatory Requirements and Quality Arrangements Nuclear Safety Culture and Behavioural Safety

18 The Essential Guide for Nuclear New Build Supply Chain 2nd Edition Published March 2013 Detailed Information on: Project Certainty and Timeline Routes to Market Nuclear Safety Culture Regulatory Processes and Licensing Quality Arrangements Codes and Standards Health and Safety Processes Security Arrangements The Essential Guide is a key communication tool for UK Industry What would help Turkish Industry?

19 Project Timeline and Route to Market for UK Programme

20 Timeline for UK Nuclear New Build Programme Current Estimates Moorside (NuGen) *NIA Construction Programme estimate (2016) Wylfa (Horizon) Sizewell C (EDF) Oldbury (Horizon) Hinkley C (EDF) Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Hinkley Point C Wylfa Sizewell C Moorside Oldbury Progressive slippage has caused uncertainty in Supply Chain & increased their costs

21 Generic Supply Chain Model Each Developer will employ a different Supply Chain Model

22 Hinkley C Project Supply Chain Model

23 Wylfa Newydd Project Supply Chain Model Possible future Horizon/Hitachi Scope

24 Programme and Procurement Strategy Project Programme and Procurement Strategy will evolve and change Supply Chains must modify their business plans accordingly Developers and Industry Associations can help the Supply Chain understand the changes in delivery strategies

25 Regulatory Requirements UK Regulatory requirements o Operation and Construction of Nuclear Plant in UK is controlled by 36 License Conditions Key Licence conditions: o LC 12 Duly Authorised and Other Suitably Qualified & Experienced Persons o LC 17 Quality Assurance flow down of Quality Specifications o LC 19 Construction or Installation of New Plant o LC 21 Commissioning UK Regulatory authorities have some of the highest standards in Europe

26 Quality Arrangements Why are Quality Arrangements necessary? Provide demonstration of compliance with specification codes standards and nuclear safety requirement Ensure that only SQEP personnel are allocated to projects Proved a structure method for linking the level of checking inspection and testing with Nuclear safety significance and component Rolls and Responsibilities Developers are responsible for ensuring products and services are of satisfactory quality Developer will specify Quality Arrangements and how they will flow down through the supply chain Tier 1 Contractors responsible for interpreting Developer s specifications Flow them down the supply chain Tier 2, 3 &4 companies Monitor the performance of Suppliers Collate the Quality and Documentation packs to demonstrate compliance Quality standards and procedures must flow all the way through the supply chain

27 Quality Arrangements - Documentation Quality paperwork for Manufacture of Safety Critical Restraints for Nuclear Plant

28 Nuclear Safety Culture IAEA Definition Safety culture is that assembly of characteristics and attitudes in organisations and individuals which establishes that, as an overriding priority, nuclear plant safety issues receive the attention warranted by their safety significance Nuclear Safety Culture is enhanced by Human Performance training

29 Behavioural Characteristics Nuclear Safety Culture Everyone is responsible Leaders communicate by example Trust permeates the company Conservative decision making Recognise Nuclear is different Maintain a questioning attitude Organisation Learning is promoted Human Performance People are fallible and make mistakes Errors are predictable and preventable Organisation influence behaviour Management must reinforce good behaviour and discourage poor behaviour Understanding the reasons for past mistakes is essential for future learning Performance is continually reviewed Human Performance Training has significant impact in reducing accidents and incidents

30 Nuclear Industry Association support for UK Supply Chain

31 Lessons Learned from UK New Build Programme SUPPLY CHAIN NEEDS CONFIDENCE IN PROJECT TIMELINES Prepare Business plans for tendering budgets Prepare investment plans people and facilities EARLY DEFINITION OF PROCUREMENT MODEL IS IMPORTANT Developers to define Procurement Strategies Government need to ensure localisation is maximised Tier 1 and Tier 2 Contractors need to engage with Lower Tiers directly Small companies know their customer COMPLIANCE ARRANGEMENTS TO BE SPECIFIED EARLY TO ALLOW SMALLER COMPANIES TO PREPARE Quality arrangements depend on Developer Codes and Standards are Technology specific Early training on Nuclear Safety Culture and Behavioural safety
