7. Our story is one of evolution .. and strong relationships
The Enkom team has evolved from our work on;
the development of early Baseline Decommissioning Plans,
drafting procedures and processes to allow best practice to be applied,
establishing SLC internal Integrated Assurance processes to allow challenge,
developing Benchmarking methodologies to support value for money,
providing Subject Matter Expertise on national decommissioning portfolios, and
advisors on Decommissioning Waste Management Plans for nuclear New Build

9. Question & Answers ... areas to explore
Existing fleet – Decommissioning timeline
New Build – Energy Act 2008 : Funded Decommissioning
Plan & Decommissioning Waste Management Plan
Differences – what are they ?
How much can we learn from previous experience ?
Challenges and opportunities ahead !
Page 9 of 16May 2016
10. Existing fleet vs New Build – the journey
Do we all want the same
things ?
Robust Cost Estimates
Certainty in out-turn costs
Value for Money
How do we get there ?
Page 10 of 16May 2016
12. Energy Act 2008 – Funded Decommissioning Plan (FDP)
The FDP must set out realistic, clearly
defined and achievable plans
Decommissioning Waste Management
Plan (DWMP) – means the part of the
FDP that sets out and costs the steps
involved in decommissioning a
Nuclear Power Station...
Page 12 of 16May 2016
13. Are there differences ... what are they ?
Demonstrate value for money vs
provide return on investment
Designed to be decommissioned vs
legacy issues & unknown inventory
Existing sites currently being
decommissioned vs
New build where some facilities
have never been built before
Page 13 of 16
Confidence vs Uncertainty
May 2016
14. Lessons Learned ... how can we improve ?
Capturing Cost data
Well defined scope with clear
interfaces and end state
Standardised approaches applied
Benchmarking against completed
projects using cost and time data
Appropriate contract strategies
and supply chain engagement
Ensure early capture of data at
workable level, that can be easily
transferred and applied
COST ENGINEERING
Cost forecast and
reporting, EVM,
assignment to cost
coding,
COMMERCIAL
Tender Document and
Assessments, Establish
KPIs, payment of
subcontractors
ESTIMATING
Preparation of Estimate
and underpinning data,
benchmark, support
tender preparation
PROJECT
MANAGEMENT
Project delivery, project
phase reporting and close
out
COST DATA
Page 14 of 16May 2016
15. Challenges and Opportunities ahead
Challenges Opportunities
Resource availability -
competing between each other
Competing markets – results in
tender costs being higher than
estimated
Availability of out-turn project
data - who’s responsible for it’s
capture and use
Integrated teams sharing
resources and data
Early engagement of supply
chain to draw on experience
and build understanding
Advances in Technology - BIM /
decommissioning techniques
