Презентація віце-президента з питань ядерної безпеки Fortum Пітера Туомінена в рамках Міжнародної конференції з нагоди 10-річчя АУЯФ "Український ядерний форум 2019: ядерна енергетика - стан та тенденції розвитку"

1. Optimisation of the supply
chain of the EU nuclear
industry
Peter Tuominen / Fortum / 3.7.2019

2. We need to renew our industry
2
Internal efficiency
• Best practices and
continuous learning
• Digitalization and
increased nuclear flexibility
• Leadership and change
management
External environment
• Harmonized licensing
• Standardized designs,
equipment and
components
• Level playing field for
nuclear
Always
prioritize
safety

3. Background for optimization of the supply chain
• Industrial standards have developed significantly since nuclear standards were developed - the quality development of
other industries hasn’t been exploited enough
• Several suppliers of SSC equipment currently installed in nuclear facilities do not exist anymore or have stopped
producing
• The nuclear supply chain is thin and the interest to deliver to nuclear has decreased
– New suppliers are not familiar with nuclear requirements
– Potential new suppliers are not interested because the market is too small.
– Nuclear requirements are too difficult to comply with
– The economic risk of supplying SSC equipment to the nuclear industry as too high.
• The heavy licensing process is challenging in modernization of ageing components and systems

4. Objectives
• Enable use of high-quality industrial-standard equipment.
• Ensure a comprehensive supplier network.
• Secure safe, reliable and cost efficient long term operation of existing fleet and enable nuclear new build.
4
 Goal: Analysis and recommendations for a more robust supply chain for greater reliability and
costs competitiveness in the nuclear industry.
 Scope: Existing operations, extensions to LTO and new build considerations.

5. Cost-efficiency of nuclear power can be improved

Harmonization
Working
Group
Report
Operators
National regulators
ENSREG
WENRA
European Commission
Other stakeholders

8. Foratom Supply Chain Optimisation Working Group scope
8
• Support to national projects
• Evaluating the potential for supply chain harmonisation & optimisation of standards
• Analysing what is needed in terms of changes to the current licensing/approvals schemes of
national regulators
• Liaising with the European Commission and Member State Representations so that they
understand the potential benefits to the nuclear industry and are suitably engaged in finding
workable solutions
• Making the most of opportunities to communicate the potential benefits to stakeholders

9. Finnish KELPO-project
• The project is co-operation of the Finnish nuclear industry.
• The regulator, STUK, participates as an observer and supports
the work.
9

10. KELPO – key development areas
• Utilize high-quality standard equipment manufactured,
tested, inspected and documented according to normal,
well-known industry standards.
• Harmonized practices and documentation between
license holders  Clear and harmonized requirements
towards suppliers.
• Increased license holder’s role in lower safety classes -
Regulatory control focus on plant overall safety and
SC1 and SC2 equipment.
PILOTING:
• Joint effort of license holders and
STUK.
• Test and further develop the
proposed new licensing and
qualification processes.
• Identify change needs in regulations
and company practices.
STUK’s new strategy:
“Safety is not achieved through control, but as a result of good work of responsible operators.”
