• Interesting to know!
§ Only 31 countries have nuclear power plants (439) in operation,(+ 284 research reactors in 56 countries; 220 reactors for shipsand submarines)
§ Nuclear energy contributes by approx. 16 % (ca. 375.500 MW) tothe world’s energy production (Stand 01. 01. 2009)
§ The nuclear share in 31 countries corresponds approx. to thesame range as hydropower though hydropower is more widelyspread
§ In the last forty years, 40 countries have applied for support fromthe IAEA for the development of a “nuclear infrastructure”
“Petroleum Man will be virtually extinct this century, and HomoSapiens faces a major challenge in adapting to his los” (Dr. Colin J. Campbell,2008, Preeminent Petroleum Geologist)

Interesting to know!
§ Significant safety innovations in 3rd generation nuclear reactors(evolutionary designs such as ABWR, EPR, AP1000, APWR,ESBWR)
§ France and Japan – major forces in nuclear energy
§ China to build 200 reactors by 2050
§ 2008 number of starting constructions hit double figure – withChina and Russia leading the race

• Installed plant capacities in the „Low“ – and „High“ – scenarios in GWeThe decommissioning of nuclear plants after reaching the end of plant life considered

• Trends for further development of nuclear energy until 2030
• In Western Europe – depending on the scenario – an increase(~149 GWe) in the High-Scenario or a slight decrease (~48 GWe)in the Low-Scenario forecast
• In the Middle East and the Far East – for both scenarios a largeincrease to 130 GWe, resp. 187 GWe expected (China, Japan,Taiwan, etc.)
• Difficult to forecast the development in Africa (thermal P/S, politicalstability, etc.)
• Conclusion:
Until 2030 the installed capacity in the Far East might be much higherthan in Western Europe

• Challenges regarding personal skills/expertise
§ Securing availability of experts and engineers with nucleartechnology know-how
§ Recruitment of further specialists in the home office
§ Promoting young generation and – education
§ Planning for the next decades (2010-2020)
§ Recruitment of personnel with multi-lingual capabilities
§ Recruitment of personnel in order to keep the nuclear “Know-how”
AF-Colenco AG
20
• Challenges regarding association with different cultures
§ Language barriers to overcome
§ Difficulties in decision making in several Asian countriesdue to complicated decision-making processes
§ Missing technical Know-how in nuclear “emerging markets”
§ Non-proliferation and lack of global standards
AF-Colenco AG
21
• Challenges regarding new technologies
§ LWRs of 3rd and 4th Generation
§ “Passive” plants with new safety philosophy (core-catcher, naturalcirculation, ECCS, etc.)
§ Development of High Temperature Reactors in modular designwith small output of approx. 200 MW th (PBMR, GA, etc.)
§ Adjustment of existing calculation models to the new technologiesin order to verify and validate technical data
AF-Colenco AG
22
• Challenges due to higher financial risks
§ Projects have a much higher volume as it was in the past(pre-financing of services, bank guarantee) – new business modelswith public-private financing partnerships
§ Insecurity in financing in “emerging markets”
§ Payment behaviour in these countries often does not correspond to“western” standards
§ Irregular or difficult acceptance of contractual agreed services
§ Bank guarantee with long-term times (up to unlimited durations)
§ High risk in projects with financial interest of engineering companies
AF-Colenco AG
23
• Challenges due to different national nuclear legislation
§ Some countries have not yet a national nuclear regulatorylegislation for licensing and operation of nuclear facilities(especially in emerging market countries)
§ Minimal requirements are the IAEA standards
§ Exact knowledge of national standards, rules and regulations isnecessary (if available)
§ Comparison of national rules with international regulations isnecessary for each project
AF-Colenco AG
24
• New potential for highly experienced engineering companies
§ Requirements for top scientists and engineers
§ AF-Group offers the complete value added chain of expertise in thenuclear field
• Long-term potential in international projects
§ Strategic alliances established; international projects with internationalpartners
§ Europe (Finland, UK, CZ, etc.), Asia, South America
§ Emerging markets (new markets) - support and assistance in all stepsof the nuclear power plant project

Applying the same cost of capital to nuclear as to coal and gas, nuclear came out at 4.4 €c/kWh,coal at 5.6 €c/kWh and gas at 4.9 €c/kWh, assuming a charge of $25/tonne CO2 on the latter.
Regarding bare plant costs, some recent figures apparently for overnight capital cost (orEngineering, Procurement and Construction - EPC - cost) quoted from reputable sources but notnecessarily comparable are:
EdF Flamanville EPR: EUR 4 billion/$5.6 billion, so EUR 2434/kW or $3400/kWBruce Power Alberta 2x1100 MWe ACR, $6.2 billion, so $2800/kWCGNPC Hongyanhe 4x1080 CPR-1000 $6.6 billion, so $1530/kWAEO Novovronezh 6&7 2136 MWe net for $5 billion, so $2340/kWKHNP Shin Kori 3&4 1350 MWe APR-1400 for $5 billion, so $1850/kWFPL Turkey Point 2 x 1100 MWe AP1000 $2444 to $3582/kWProgress Energy Levy county 2 x 1105 MWe AP1000 $3462/kWNEK Belene 2x1000 MWe AES-92 EUR 3.9 billion (no first core), so EUR 1950 or $3050/kWUK composite projection $2400/kWNRG South Texas 2 x 1350 MWe ABWR $8 billion, so $2900/kWCPI Haiyang 2 x 1100 MWe AP1000 $3.25 billion, so $1477/kWCGNPC Ningde 4 x 1000 MWe CPR-1000 $7.145 billion, so $1786/kWCNNC Fuqing 2 x 1000 MWe CPR-1000 (?) $2.8 billion, so $1400/kWCGNPC Bailong/Fangchengang 2 x 1000 MWe CPR-1000 $3.1 bilion, so $1550/kWCNNC Tianwan 3&4, 2 x 1060 MWe AES-91 $3.8 billion, so $1790/kWAEP Volgodonsk 3 & 4, 2 x 1200 MWe VVER $4.8 billion, so $2000/kW
Detailed study in Finland put nuclear costs at EUR 2.37 c/kWh, coal 2.81 c/kWhand natural gas at 3.23 c/kWh (on the basis of 91% capacity factor, 5% interestrate, 40 year plant life). With emission trading @ EUR 20/t CO2, the electricityprices for coal and gas increase to 4.43 and 3.92 c/kWh respectively:
