NPCIL S Vision for the Light-Water Reactor Program K.C. Purohit, Director Projects, NPCIL

2. Present Power Scenario

3. Future Forecast

5. India's Nuclear Power Programme Closed Fuel Cycle First Stage Uranium ( Natural , Imported Enriched ) (PHWRs & LWRs) Second Stage Plutonium (Reprocessed Spent Fuel) (FBRs) Third Stage Uranium 233 (Converted from Th-232) (AHWR & future)

6. Present Status Seventeen Reactors 2 BWRs & 15 PHWRs with total Capacity of 4120 MW in operation One Reactor made Critical in November 2009 Five Reactors 3 PHWRs, 2 PWRs & One FBR with Capacity of 3160 MW under construction Future plans XI Five Year Plan 8x700 MWe PHWRs 2007 -2012 3x500 MWe FBRs 1x300 MWe AHWR Augmentation plans 25-30 1000 MWe & Higher (addtionality ) by 2030 LWRs

9. Imported LWRs with Fuel Imported LWRs with imported fuel � additional generation to meet energy requirements Commissioning of 2 units of VVER Type reactors at Kudankulam is in progress Pre � project activities for new LWRs in progress. Clusters of 6 to 8 LWRs at one Site with gradual increase in localization Simultaneous construction at many Sites 6 or more Reactors per Site. Start Construction for twin Units Second twin Unit s after around 3 years .

10. LWR Sites Presently 5 Sites identified for LWRs Multi technology NPP approach Division of Scope for cost optimisation Gradual increase in localisation Gradual Technology absorption Construction, Commissioning & Operation by NPCIL

12. NPCIL to construct, commission and operate Unit Energy cost the basis of negotiations EPC of BOP by NPCIL Localization from Indian market for sourcing components and manpower Lifetime fuel supply commitments

13. Assimilation and Review of Technology Different technology such as VVER, EPR, ABWR, ESBWR, AP1000 Technology Assimilation by NPCIL and Indian Regulators Licencibility in country of Origin. Licencibility in India.

14. Resource Management Supply Chain Management Identification of Critical Components Localization Vendor qualification Quality of supplies Delivery Schedule Risk Management Service and Support during erection and thereafter. Preservation and Storage

15. Construction Support  Review of Port Infrastructure for Heavy Equipment Suitable Jetty for unloading at Site. Strengthening of bridges, roads & culverts for movement of Over Dimensional Consignment from Indian Manufacturers. Material Handling Equipment for loading/Unloading

16. PRE PROJECT ACTIVITIES Land Acquisition Geo Technical investigation Evaluation of Seismic Potential. Statutatory Clearances from Ministry of Environment and Forests (MOEF). Site Clearance from AERB Establishment of other Infrastructure Facilities.

17. Construction and Erection Transportation Availability of large capacity Cranes to meet varied needs of different Plant Designs. Strategy for Meeting Shorter Construction Targets including Modularization & Automation Equipments , tooling and Machinery to meet the Specific requirement of NSS Welding at Site. Special Equipment for Non Destructive Testing Construction Interface management

18. Human Resources Development of Human Resources for Pre project activities, Construction, Erection, Commissioning, Operation Absence of operating experience of New LWR�S Imparting specialized training for Modular Construction and Automation. Early availability of Training Simulator. Training and qualification of Operating Personnel. Building a strong safety culture. IAEA, WANO

19. Commissioning Trained Human Resources. Commissioning organization and Procedures. Interface with Designer and Regulators. Quality Assurance Pre Service Inspection
