  12. Global Nuclear Renaissance I • 32 countries currently produce nuclear energy • Leading nuclear energy producers in the world: USA-104, France-58, Japan-51, Russia-32, South Korea-21, India-20, UK-18, Canada-17, Ukraine-15, China-14 • Current nuclear generating capacity in world- 368,467 MWe (roughly 14% of electricity production) • 13 countries without a current nuclear infrastructure are planning nuclear construction projects by 2030 • 24 countries are potential entrants into the nuclear energy • 63 reactors currently under construction in the world (China, Russia, India, Brazil, Argentina, Iran, Pakistan, France, Taiwan, Slovakia, Finland, South Korea)- With proposed commercial operation commencing within the next 6 years :

  13. Global Nuclear Renaissance II • Leading countries in nuclear construction projects: • China-27 (Includes first Westinghouse AP1000 reactor but mostly CPR-1000 design based on the AREVA design) • Russia-10 (WWER-1200 based on design by Soviet Union) • India-6 (Indian Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor based on CANDU Canadian Reactor) • Generating capacity increase- 63,934 MWe (17% increase) • 152 new reactors planned in the world, as of 2011 • China-51, India-17, Russia-14 • Generating capacity increase- 171,325 MWe (Combined with reactors under construction- 64% increase) • 350 new reactors proposed in the world, as of 2011 U.S. Nuclear Infrastructure Council

  14. U.S. Nuclear Inc. • Platinum standard for safety • Gold standard for regulatory oversight • World-class operating results • Largest operating fleet • Deepest and most-experience infrastructure • Global leader in Gen 3+ technology • Trailblazer for Small Reactor Technology • High integrity non-proliferation leader

  16. U.S. India Nuclear Commerce • 2008 Indo-US nuclear agreement has been viewed recently as not reaching expectations, because US commerce has not commenced - however, this was not totally unexpected - nuclear projects take a long time in general - the US has not built a plant in more than 30 years. • As India liberalizes the civil nuclear market, progress will be made by both sides.  US and India will meet in June in DC for the next "strategic dialogue", and more progress is expected. • Elevated understandingthat nuclear liability can only be channeled to the suppliers, the implementing rules, and government officials seem to be trying to make this happen. It is a politically charged issue - but ultimately it will get resolved. • Hopefully the implementing rules on nuclear liability will be finalized during the “Monsoon session” of Parliament without "poison pill" amendments. • U.S. export controls have also been a challenge, but these too seem to be manageable when required • - :
