*AP1000 is a trademark of Westinghouse Electric Company LLC Westinghouse Proprietary

Westinghouse Overview
• Vision – Westinghouse will be the Customers’ choice to supply
leading-edge nuclear technology, to satisfy the world’s growing
demand for energy using a global supply base for new plant build
• 3 Core Competencies –
– Nuclear Power Plants – Specializes in design, delivery of new nuclear power
plants & manufacture of precision stainless steel components
– Nuclear Services – State of the art field services, engineering services,
repair and replacement services, and training to our global utility customers
– Nuclear Fuel – The world’s leading integrated supplier of nuclear fuel
products and services


What is the
“Nuclear Renaissance?”
• Renaissance = Rebirth
• For Westinghouse – the restart of
commercial nuclear power electrical
generating station new plant build
• Why Now?
– Federal Incentives for the Utility
– Standardization
– New Licensing Process – the COL
– Concern over Greenhouse Gases
– New generation plants – on-line, on-time


The Demand for Nuclear Power
AP1000TM Worldwide
• Ten (10) Units under contract
• China
– Contracts for 4 units at Sanmen and Haiyang sites
– First major structural module set in August – 2010

• Vogtle & V.C. Summer COD 1Q 2016
• Additional interest/potential opportunities
in U.S., UK, Canada, India, South America,
Central Europe

Less costly to build, operate and maintain


Benefits of Simplified, Passive
Safety Nuclear Plants
• Fewer parts, modular construction means
that the plant is constructed quicker
• Lower cost of financing, earlier revenue
stream, shorter payback period
• Passive safety means less parts to
maintain, improved reliability, safer plants


What does the
“Nuclear Renaissance”
mean to you?
• Increased needs
– Engineering
– Construction
– Equipment
– Operations & Maintenance
• Localized emphasis
– Environmental, earthwork, assembly, welding, HVAC

• Most ASME equipment is on order
• China in full construction & production
• Volatility in material costs
• Lack of domestic capabilities to provide:
– Ultra-Large ASME Section III forgings
– A-690 tubing
• Unique designs (RCP, Hot Leg Piping,
PRHR Hx)


Westinghouse Concerns
• Raw material supply
– Extended lead times
– Price fluctuations
• Sub-component supply (i.e. forgings, subsystems, tubing)
– Capacity constraints
– High cost to increase capacity
– Long lead-time for capacity expansion
• Lack of specialized manufacturing workforce & equipment/machinery
– Translating orders into factory instruction for Procurement, Manufacturing
and QA Procedures
– No or limited capacity
– Long lead-time to process equipment/ramp-up production
• Limited Nuclear Grade Suppliers
– Certification has lapsed
– Loss of “nuclear grade” discipline

Westinghouse Expectations
• An unwavering commitment to quality and safety
– Human Performance tools
– Value the prevention of errors
• Cost competitiveness
• Investments in Capital & Human Resources
• Own and proactively solve problems
• Aggressive and predictable delivery
• Risk sharing for future business
• Utilize lessons learned for continuous improvement
• Teamwork & Communications


Summary
• The Nuclear Renaissance is here!
• AP1000, best solution for new plants – passive safety, simplification,
fewer components, less costly to build, operate and maintain
• New plant build will require parts, services, and equipment from paper
clips to highly sophisticated, complex process equipment – and
everything in between
• Westinghouse is aggressively purchasing equipment, components,
commodities and services
• Supplier expectations: quality, safety, cost, value the prevention of
errors, own & proactively solve problems, delivery, share the risk,
continuous improvement, teamwork, interactive customers
