Since the nineteen sixties, the nuclear industry in Spain has been developing its capacities maintaining a competitive position at world level.Thanks to these efforts, the Spanish nuclear industry may currently be said to participate in new reactor developments and the most advanced lines of research and to make use of the most up-todate techniques to respond to a growing market. The companies that are included in this publication have in common their dedication to the nuclear sector, in areas as diverse as initial and on-going training, construction of major components, engineering, nuclear fuel cycle and waste management. The situation of the emerging countries, especially in Asia, with energy consumption growth rates of close to 8% per year, makes it necessary to construct new nuclear reactors to satisfy part of its demand. To the obvious energy requirements should be added the increasing concern for the consequences of climate change and the measures to be taken to mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases, as well as the variability of fossil fuel prices. In this context, nuclear energy emerges as a technological, competitive and sustainable option for the production of electricity and as a guarantee of supplies, supporting compliance with Kyoto commitments. In Spain, the nuclear power plants produce 20% of the electricity we consume. The nuclear reactors generate the base power of the system, without interruptions, always respectful towards the environment, and at lower costs than other energy sources. The building and subsequent operation of the plants brought about the consolidation of the Spanish nuclear industry in all areas: building, engineering, consulting and services, that look towards a promising future that will not only allow for the expansion of the nuclear industry but also improve the competitiveness of the country's business fabric and bring added value to it. It is an honour for the Spanish Nuclear Industry Forum to present of this publication, in collaboration with ICEX, which illustrates the reality of a Spanish industry at the technological forefront, providing high added value and with an increasing international presence. We trust that this catalog will serve to promote and disclose the companies involved in nuclear activities. Mª Teresa Domínguez President, Spanish Nuclear Industry Forum 3 The Spanish nuclear industry contributes to the competitiveness of the country's economy. Its activity takes place within the framework of a growing international market. Introduction Society is constantly advancing towards a greater economic and social development. Globalization has encouraged relationships among countries in such a way that, nowadays and especially in the case of energy, it is no longer possible to establish national policies that do not take into account those in other countries. 20% of the world’s population consumes 80% of the energy resources. Almost a third of the world’s population, around two thousand million people, have no access to the transport and energy services that developed countries enjoy. The International Energy Agency estimates that the demand for primary energy in the world will increase by 50%, and the electricity demand will double up in the next fifty years. In order to fulfill this demand increase, in the next few years it will be necessary to promote the construction of nuclear power plants with advanced reactors, coal-fired plants with carbon capture and sequestration and renewable energy plants, so as to put together the most possibly balanced and sustainable mix. In the world there are over 440 nuclear reactors in operation in 30 countries with an installed capacity of around 370 GW, which is 10% of the world’s total electric generation park. They generate approximately 2,600 TWh per year, that is, they fulfill global electricity demand by 17%. Additionally, there is a clear support of nuclear energy: at the moment, over 65 reactors are under construction in 15 countries, another 90 are planned, i.e. programmed and with compromised financing, and 200 more are at the proposal stage. This means that, in the next 25-30 years, the world’s nuclear park is going to undergo a spectacular increase, contributing to a satisfaction of the environmental sustainability, guarantee of supply and competitive electricity production challenges. 5 In Spain the nuclear fleet, composed by eight reactors in six different sites, provides approximately 20% of the country’s consumed electricity, with less than 8% of the total installed power in the country’s electric generation park. Together, the Spanish nuclear power plants possess over 250 years of operative experience, having operated in excellent conditions during the last years and often being first on the lists of the world’s best performing plants. Their role is irreplaceable in the energy mix that supply the Spanish market, and they are a very important resource in the fight against the greenhouse effect and for the assurance of supply. NUCLEAR INDUSTRY IN SPAIN Spain first became interested in nuclear energy at the end of the 1940’s. 1951 saw the creation of the Junta de Energía Nuclear (JEN), initially dependent on the Government’s Presidency and afterwards on the Ministry of Industry and Energy. The JEN would be of great importance to the country’s nuclear development. After the “Atoms for Peace” speech by the United States President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the United Nations General Assembly in December 1953, the right climate was created to study the convenience of introducing nuclear energy to Spain. In 1964 the Nuclear Energy Law was approved, and in 1972 the Radioactive and Nuclear Sites Regulation was developed, afterwards revised in 1999. The security and regulation activities were entrusted to the Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear (CSN) created in 1980, and the research and management of radioactive waste to the Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos (ENRESA) created in 1985. At the beginning of the sixties, with the stabilization plan and Spain’s incorporation into OCDE, the Spanish economy sped up its expansion, increasing energy demand. From 1960 to 1975 the energy demand grew at an accumulative rate of 11% per annum. In a situation of lack of gas and petroleum, with growing dependence on the latter and with the difficult and costly extraction of domestic coal, entrepreneurs and the Government considered accessing nuclear energy, still then at the early stages of industrial development, but nevertheless assuring to be the ideal complement to provide the basis for the load curve. Thus, the creation of Spain’s industrial nuclear structure began in the sixties, as a consequence of the decision to build the José Cabrera, Santa María de Garoña and Vandellós I nuclear power plants by major foreign contractors via the “turnkey” procedure. At this initial stage, the Administration actively promoted this industrial development, in order to create qualified jobs and because of the technnological advance that would no doubt contribute to the industry’s general betterment. 6 Introduction The next stage, in the seventies, saw the construction of the Almaraz, Ascó and Cofrentes nuclear power plants, this time utilizing contracting by components, which made the existing engineering and capital goods industries gain great importance, in already built sites but with modern methods adapted to the new concepts of safety guarantee. During the third stage, in the eighties, the Vandellós II and Trillo I nuclear power plants were built. At this stage, the Spanish nuclear industry reached its maturity with the construction of new build plants, both for materials and fuels, and the existence of a number of specialized services companies. The result of this process was the creation in Spain of an important technical and scientific community, located in public organizations and investigation centres, Universities, the operating nuclear power plants and the general industry. The eighties saw the moment of maximum activity of nuclear industry in Spain, providing jobs to over 20,000 people, among them over 5,000 highly qualified technicians. In addition to this, we must add approximately 100,000 more people in indirect jobs, from multiple goods and services companies. Nuclear power plants are based on complex technology, and they are intensive in capital but also in know-how. The widespread of this technology in several stages contributed to the creation of a solid industrial infrastructure, necessary to support the design, construction and exploitation of the plants, but also to develop other activities such as those related to fuel and the handling of radioactive waste. All this activity implied an important effort of technology assimilation and training for technicians and specialists, the result of which was a high-quality nuclear fleet, extremely expert operation teams and very high amounts of national participation in the construction of nuclear power plants, from the 40% total in the first sites to over 80% in the latter ones. The companies in the nuclear sector continue to support the engineering and components activities for repairs or modifications, fuel supply and inspection services during operation, as well as support services for refueling and radiological protection. Currently we still possess a basis of know-how, experience and means that will allow us to participate in nuclear programs at relaunching stages in several countries. It is thus quite obvious that, in the event of a re-activation of Spain’s nuclear program, we have a good infrastructure to successfully satisfy it. This fact has led Spain to be selected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as an example of a country that had an exemplary nuclear programme of industrial promotion, for those countries that are currently launching their own nuclear programmes. The Spanish nuclear industry provides the engineering, equipment, construction and assembly, fuels, startup and services needed by nuclear power plants for their operation. All this industrial structure was put together during the plants’ construction and has 7 evolved along with the circumstances of each moment, incorporating new technologies adapted to the current needs and requirements. The Spanish nuclear industry is prepared for the international market, since in what concerns the construction of nuclear power plants all the technical structure of regulations, specifications, drafts, qualifications, performance, inspections and documentation corresponds to the global standards, and the companies are familiar with the clients and inspection agents as well as with the international methods. Additionally, many of them possess certification from the main classification entities. The companies acting in the nuclear field, besides the fuel cycle and waste management, are classified according to their specialities. Below is a brief explanation of the infrastructure created in Spain and its current potential, as an industrial nucleus for its necessary expansion in a globalized market: Electric companies, responsible for the construction of nuclear power plants and their operation, have expanded their activity to the study of optimization and operation, maintenance, equipment and procedural improvement management, fuel cycle handling, and development of new reactors. Nuclear system providers. In Spain a decision was made not to establish a systems company linked through licenses to any foreign supplier, which had meant that the industry was practically forced to choose one single type of reactor. International suppliers provided the 8 Introduction first “turnkey” nuclear power plants and nuclear steam generation systems for the consecutive nuclear power plants, and also granted the Spanish industry access to nuclear methods and standards. Nowadays they provide operation and maintenance support services and will certainly play a paramount role in the country’s future nuclear efforts. Engineering companies, making the most of their experience in the project and construction of thermal power stations, have generated an important capacity of nuclear power plant engineering, supporting the management of new build plant construction as well as the operation and management of operating facilities. From the beginning, Spanish engineering companies cooperated with leading foreign contractors. At the second stage the situation was inverted, being the Spanish companies the contractors for propietors, utilizing foreign companies for some time as consultants to afterwards assume total responsability. Equipment providers. This sector has been put together on the basis of the existing industry and the addition of new capacities, especially in the manufacturing of main equipment and turbine generators, but also of cranes, valves, tubes, boilers and accessories, heat exchangers, fuel manipulation machinery and a long etcetera of elements subject to strict quality assurance systems. An industry has been constituted that is able to supply most of the capital goods. Manufacturing and assembly companies had no difficulty in adapting to the new quality requirements. It is important to point out the locomotive effect that nuclear energy has had on the nuclear site assembly sector. On one hand, and as regards strictly nuclear industry, this pull brought about a qualitative change in issues such as quality and conformity assurance according to the special requirement regulations. On the other hand, it also had a positive effect on the dimensions of the equipments to assemble. This has very positive repercussions on other fields, including the deployment of renewable energies. Companies dedicated to specialized services, project and simulators supply, operator training, inservice inspection and support and exploitation improvement systems development, including among their clients all the Spanish nuclear companies as well as a great number of foreign organizations. The competitive and expert Spanish nuclear industry that is hereafter presented is a guarantee that nuclear technology in Spain is not only maintained but also in constant development to support the nuclear power plants currently in operation and to cater to a growing international nuclear market.

ANAV’s work is committed to operating the Ascó and Vandellós II Plants safely, reliably, giving the environment its due respect and on a long term basis, so as to produce electric energy, an essential element for economic and social development. This commitment is expressed both by the group’s investments on the Plants to guarantee their safe and long term operationg, and by the direct activities on the field, acting to promote the economic, social and cultural development of the towns in the influence areas of both Plants. The staff working at the Ascó and Vandellós II Nuclear Power Plants play a fundamental role in the day-today routine of the sites. The sum of ANAV’s job positions and those of the stable cooperating companies amount to nearly 2,300, making this group an economic reference both in the province of Tarragona and in the whole of Catalonia. In this regard, recent studies carried out by the Economics Department at the Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona show that the economic impact produced by the activities of ANAV’s Plants and that of its workers multiplies by four the generation of wealth and jobs in Catalonia, an effect that is especially intense on the province of Tarragona, where the direct, indirect and induced effect from ANAV and its workers represents approximately 3% of the province’s Gross Domestic Product. ASCÓ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant is located on the right bank of the Ebro river in the district of Ribera de Ebro, in the municipal area of Ascó in the province of Tarragona. Construction began in 1972 and 81% of the construction and equipment assembly work was carried out by Spanish companies. The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant has two pressurised water reactors (PWR), the cooling water for the two units being provided by the Ebro river.

Unit II, with a thermal power of 2,940.6 MWt and an electrical output of 1,027.2 MWe, is jointly owned by ENDESA (85%) and IBERDROLA (15%), and initiated its commercial operation on March 30th 1986. In recent years, both units at the Plant have recovered load factors over 90%, this of course depending on whether the necessary shutdowns take place during the year in order to reload fuel and carry out preventive maintenance activities. This evolution brings with it a progressive increase in investments and operation and maitenance costs, which in 2010 exceeded 90 million euros in investments destined to renew and update the Plant’s systems and equipment, so as to guarantee the safety and reliability of both units and the 170 millions in operation and maintenance costs. The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant has a staff of nearly 500 people, of which approximately half are university graduates. It must be added that the Plant has over 750 staff from stable cooperating companies and that during reload periods there is an addition of between 800 and 1,000 workers from around 35 local companies. The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant has initiated work on the future Information Centre that will open its doors in 2011. This Centre was designed as an interactive space for the diffusion of energy and the functioning of a nuclear power plant. The project responds to ANAV’s multiple goals to promote a public approach to energy and how nuclear power plants work, generating an added value that complements the offer of Ribera d’Ebre to attract visitors to the area and cater to the existing demand of visits to the Plant.

It is located in the municipal area of Cofrentes in the province of Valencia, on the right flank of the Júcar river at the tail end of the Embarcaderos reservoir. It functions via a nuclear system of steam production composed by a BWR/6 type boiling water reactor, provided by the North American company General Electric Company, with a thermal power of 3,237 MWt and an electrical power output of 1,092 MW. The Plant is cooled by means of a closed circuit through two natural draft towers. Below is an operational diagram: Authorization for construction was granted in 1975, being connected to the national electric grid nine years later, on October 1984. Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant is currently the main electricity generating centre in the Community of Valencia, generating 34% of the produced energy and covering 31% of the demand (data from REE 2009). At the national level, the plant produces approximately 4% of the country's overall electricity. Along with its activity as one of the country’s most important electric energy production centres, Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant maintains a rather intense and important relationship with its social environment. It is noteworthy to mention the visits made to the Information Centre by diverse schools and associations, with an average of 4,000 visitors per year. The year round, non-stop operation of Cofrentes prevents the import of 14 million petrol oil barrels and the emission of 6,5 million Tm CO2 into the atmosphere. 22 Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant Nuclear Generation Division Tomás Redondo, 1 28033 Madrid Tel.: +34 915 776 500 Fax: +34 917 843 178 Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant 46625 Cofrentes (Valencia) Tel.: +34 961 894 300 Fax: +34 962 196 477 Web: www.cncofrentes.es Nuclear power plants Below is a graph with the annual accumulated production at the Plant: 10,000 9,000 8,000 9,549 8,048 8,156 6,240 9,219 7,030 9,148 8,293 8,188 8,587 7,715 7,772 8,473 7,163 7,971 8,484 7,261 7,264 8,028 7,276 7,338 7,318 7,418 4,000 7,172 5,000 6,929 6,000 6,398 GWh 7,000 3,000 2,000 1,000 0 During 2010, the Plant functioned nonstop the 365 days of the year, generating a final production of 9,549 million kWh, with a Load Factor of 99.82% and an Operational Factor of 100%. This data has become the Plant’s greatest historical production, above the annual production obtained in 2006 with 9,219 million kWh. As regards optimization and process enhancement, top priority attention is placed on site safety both from the nuclear viewpoint and that of risk prevention at the workplace, as well as of protection of the environment and strict compliance with nuclear standards and other applicable regulation. The Plant has a Management Plan that assures orderly performance in the areas of greatest trascendence for its correct functioning. This Plan currently encompasses 64 projects, 47 of which are prioritary action and the rest (17) ongoing action.The key elements that conform the Management Plan are People, Organization and Site.The interaction of all three is fundamental to reach the established goals. In May 2010, the specialized magazine Nuclear Engineering International published a world ranking of nuclear power plants based on their Load Factor in relation to their full functioning life. In this list, Cofrentes held position 47 (out of the 394 plants of which the magazine possessed enough data to ellaborate the list), with an accumulated Load Factor of 84.67%. At the end of 2009, a team from WANO (World Association of Nuclear Operators) composed by 22 international experts carried out at the Plant a test known as Peer Review. In these tests, voluntarily requested by the plants, experts compare the plants’ activities with the international standards of nuclear industry in order to identify areas that might be susceptible of improvement as well as the strongholds of the evaluated sites.The previous conclusions from the expert group endorsed Cofrentes’ high compromise with operative safety. Also in 2009 Cofrentes Nuclear Power Plant held its second External Evaluation of Safety Culture, with methodology from Dr. Sonja Haber, and which was carried out by herself. This evaluation took place via documentary revision, polls, observations (of meetings and onsite) and interviews. The conclusion was that the Plant is responsible and efficient in matters of nuclear safety.

The Plant is the property of NUCLENOR SA (Iberdrola 50% and Endesa 50%), a company which started its business activity in 1957 and was a pioneer in Spain in the use of nuclear energy for electricity generation. The Plant has a boiling water reactor (BWR) with a thermal power of 1,381 MW and an electrical output of 466 MWe. The annual production of the Plant is equivalent to 30% of the electricity consumption in the Autonomous Community of Castilla and Leon, and to 7% of the Spanish nuclear production. The Garoña Plant prevents more than 2,5 million tons of CO2 from being released to the atmosphere every year. The results obtained during the operating lifetime of the Plant reflect a continuous improvement, since the last ten years show operating and electric grid connection factors of over 90%. Since the early days of operation, the managers of NUCLENOR have applied a policy of Plant technological upgrading and updating that has produced a substantial improvement in the site’s performance.

The results highlight the fact that the Plant is in excellent technical conditions and that all its personnel are committed to the safety and reliability of the Plant. As planned, in 2006 Nuclenor applied for the renewal of its operating license for a new ten-year period. The application was accompanied by a series of studies and analyses that justified Santa María de Garoña’s capacity for longterm operation in safe and reliable conditions. The Nuclear Safety Council issued a favourable report on June 5th 2009 to Santa María de Garoña’s application for a ten year renewal. However, according to the Ministerial Order of July 6th, the Ministry of Industry decided to renew the operating license only up until July 2013, declaring the termination of activities at the Plant on that date. On September 14th 2009, Nuclenor presented to Spain’s National High Court an appeal against the Ministry’s order, as it was understood that said order does not conform to law. Currently this appeal is underway and pending resolution. Nuclenor is one of the most important companies in the Autonomous Community of Castilla and Leon, thanks to its turnover – it is among the twenty largest companies in the Community – and to its human and material resources. More than 1,000 professionals, from Nuclenor and from over 50 collaborating companies, work at the site on a permanent basis. In 1992 the Plant’s Information Centre was inaugurated, with a view to informing the public on the activities in the facility. The Centre has a surface area of around 800 m2 and, since the beginning of its operation, has been visited by an average of over 15,000 people a year. Most of these visitors are high school and University students. 25 In November 1999, the owner companies of the Almaraz and Trillo Nuclear Power Plants constituted the Economic Interest Group "Centrales Nucleares Almaraz-Trillo, A.I.E" for the integrated operation, management and administration of both Plants, their shareholding in the ownership of the facilities remaining unaltered. With this decision, the owner companies (Iberdrola, Endesa, Gas Natural Fenosa, HC Energía and Nuclenor) reinforce their commitment to the safe and reliable operation of the two Plants and their confidence in nuclear energy within a diversified and environmentally friendly sector. The Group has a work force of 775 people (43% of which are advance degree graduates) , distributed between the headquarters in Madrid and the two sites: Almaraz with 391 workers (40% advance degree graduates) and Trillo with 304 workers (40% advance degree graduates).

At 23:31 hours on April 30th 2006, the José Cabrera Nucler Powr Plant was definitively disconnecte from the power grid, in compliance with the order issued by the then Ministry of Economy on October 14th 2002. The Plant was in operation for 38 years, from 1968 to 2006. Following the shutdown of the Plant until the end of 2009, the José Cabrera Nuclear Power Plant carried out several activities leading to the adequacy and preparation of the installation for its definitive dismantling. Some of these activities worthy of mention are those related to the conditioning of the waste generated during exploitation, the unloading of irradiated fuel and its transportation in dry containers from the storage pool to the Individualised Temporary Warehouse located in the same area. On February 11th 2010, the Plant’s ownership was transferred to the waste management agency Empresa Nacional de Residuos Radiactivos (ENRESA), in order to carry out the Dismantling Plan and the Plant’s shutdown. This Plant, property of Gas Natural Fenosa, , constituted a technological milestone since it was the first nuclear power plant to be constructed in Spain. From the very start it operated with maximum guarantees of safety, respecting and caring for surroundings under the constant supervision of the Nuclear Safety Council. Zorita had a pressurised water reactor (PWR) with a thermal power level of 510 MWt and an electrical output of 150.1 Mwe.

This Plant, which like all nuclear power plants operated in base load mode, i.e., 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, has produced electricity for almost 38 years. During this time it produced a total 36,515 million kilowatts-hour, equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of 25 provinces like Guadalajara. The annual average production of the Plant was around 1,100 million kilowatt-hours, this representing approximately 20% of the electricity demand of the Autonomous Community of Castilla – La Mancha or almost 75% of the electricity consumption in the province of Guadalajara. The results of the Environmental Management Programme during operation of the Plant show that the quality of the environment in the area surrounding the Plant has remained unaltered. Througout its operation, the Plant has also undertaken a series of activities aimed at favouring the socioeconomic, cultural and educational enrichment of the local population, via cooperation agreements with town councils and organisations in the area. Due to its being the first Spanish facility to use nuclear energy to generate electricity, theJosé Cabrera Nucler Power Plant has been a school for nuclear professionals and a source of experience for the sector. A highly qualified workforce has been continously trained, thus guaranteeing high levels of qualification and the updating of know-how. Thoroughout these almost four decades of operation, the Plant has provided employment for 300 workers directly and some 6,000 indirectly. Following shoudonwn of the Plant, 50 persons remain on site to carry out the pre-dismantling phase. 31 Enusa was set up in 1972 under the name of Empresa Nacional del Uranio, as part of an initiative that aimed to promote the nuclear component in energy development in Spain. Today it is Enusa Industrias Avanzadas, S.A., a public company whose 60% of shares belong to the State industrial holding company SEPI (Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales), which reports to the Ministry of Economy and the Exchequer.

Santiago Rusiñol, 12 28040 Madrid Tel.: +34 913 474 200 Fax: +34 913 474 215 Web: www.enusa.es E-mail: [email protected] Business objective Services, products and technologies available Enusa’s goal is to work towards an improvement in its competitiveness, thus maintaining the quality of its current production and the recognition shown by regulators, institutions and clients alike, as well as contributing towards the socioeconomic development of the areas wherein it operates. With its presence at the Juzbado manufacturing facility since 1985, Enusa’s fuel elements manufacturing plant is one of Europe’s most innovative, as it incorporates state of the arts technology that optimizes resources and protects the environment. The site has specialized, highly qualified staff that encompasses the entire fuel producing cycle: handling the enriched uranium supply and the components required for manufacturing, assembling fuel elements, developing equipment for the manufacture and inspection of PWR (pressurised water reactor, under license from Westinghouse), BWR (boiling water reactors, General Electric USA) and VVER (manufactured between 2001 and 2007 and destined for the Loviisa pressurised water plant in Finland). Enusa has three work centres and two industrial sites: The Juzbado fuel element manufacturing facility and an environmental centre in Ciudad Rodrigo, both in the province of Salamanca. Its headquarters are located in Madrid. 32 Fuel Activities and references Enusa is structured around three major lines of business: The Front End of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle: This is the company’s traditional and most important activity. It basically consists of providing the enriched uranium for Spain’s nuclear power plants, acting as a procurement centre for the country’s electricity companies.This includes the design and manufacturing of nuclear fuel in its factory at Juzbado (Salamanca), destined to national and foreign nuclear power plants. Enusa also renders engineering services in everything pertaining the management and optimization of the use of fuel in the reactor, and specialized service in the inspection, repair and handling of fresh and irradiated fuel at the plants. has developed an ambitious area of business in environmental management projects, structured around two areas of work: the restoration of disused uranium mines and the Environmental Technical Office. Enusa’s environmental activitiy is increased by the affiliate companies TECONMA (environment protection services and environmental impact reduction services through technologies applied to the conservation of the environment in civil works) and EMGRISA (industrial waste handling and treatment and characterization of contaminated waters and grounds). Additionally, the company has two minoritary financial participants, related to its main line of business: one is the European uranium enrichment consortium EURODIF, which exploits a uranium enrichment factory in Tricastin (France). The other one is the COMINAK corporation, which owns a mine and a uranium concentrate plant in the Republic of Niger. Industrial Shareholdings: Enusa’s acquired experience in the nuclear sector and its great technological potential have led the company to implement a diversification policy. As a result of this, it financially participates in industrial companies such as ETSA and Enusegur, (transport of hazardous or high responsibility goods) and Molypharma (radiopharmacy and the production of PET radiopharmaceuticals). The Environment: As a result of its long experience in the operation of mining exploitations, Enusa has acquired ample environmental know-how. Using this know-how and experience it These three affiliates, together with the parent company Enusa Industrias Avanzadas and the environmental subsidiaries, form the Enusa Group. tU equivalent 320 tU/year 260 tU/year 220 tU/year 160 tU/year National Export Company key figures Juzbado’s current production license is for 500 tons of enriched uranium a year. The accumulated production throughout the 25 years of Juzbado’s operation has been of 5,300 tons of enriched uranium, the equivalent to 2,000,000 GWh, an amount that would supply Spain’s entire electricity demand during 8 years. Currently, Enusa’s complete staff amounts to 613 workers (201 at the head office in Madrid, 387 at the Juzbado factory and 25 at the environmental centre in Ciudad Rodrigo). Since its beginnings, the Juzbado factory has provided over 17,000 fuel elements: 8,700 PWR fuel elements, 8,200 BWR fuel elements and 741 VVER fuel elements.

From its very beginnings, ENSA was equipped with an adequate infrastructure for the areas of Design, Engineering, Quality Assurance, Inspection, Procurement, Projects and Manufacturing, as well as with a Laboratory and Workshop technically capable of undertaking the manufacturing of major components. The company was initially set up with both private and public shareholders and now belongs entirely to the State industrial holding company SEPI. Services, products and technologies available In 1980 a specific business area was set up to provide services to operating plants (assembly and maintenance). Part of this group was subsequently integrated into ENWESA, a mixed company with Westinghouse Technical Services, wherein ENSA is the major shareholder. The company was originally conceived exclusively for the supply of major components for nuclear power plants, but has since been driven by the market situation to evolve towards alternative products and to identify other areas of activity complementary to the manufacturing of large components for such facilities. Over the more than 35 years that have passed since its creation ENSA has supplied equipment for nuclear power plants of different design types (General Electric, Westinghouse, Framatome, Siemens...) throughout the world, with acknowledged quality levels. In some of these supplies, as well as in others where it has not intervened in manufacturing (such as General Electric’s ABWR and Westinghouse’s AP600), the company has participated in structural design calculation. Over the last 20 years, and in addition to the supply of primary circuit equipment (Vessel, Internals, Steam Generators, Pressuriser and Primary Piping), ENSA has provided a large number of Spent Fuel Casks (transport and storage) and Racks for the storage of spent fuel in the pools of nuclear power plants in Spain and abroad (USA, China, Great Britain, Korea, Finland, South Africa, Taiwan, Japan). ENSA holds ASME Code (N, NPT and NA seals), TÜV and ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditations, among others. 34 Equipment goods Activities and references manufacturing of components for research centres (CERN, UKAEA, EPRI, etc.), institutions (NASA, EURATOM, Max Planck Institute), offshore oil platform manufacturing, Technical Assistance Services to other companies, and especially for the last few years with the manufacturing of pressurised components for the chemical and petrochemical industry. ENSA has actively participated as the company in charge of part of the design in international projects for 4th Generation reactors. As regards fuel, the company has not been limited to manufacturing designs developed by others but has taken a highly significant qualitative step, developing and licensing its own designs for casks and racks, such as the transport and storage cask currently being used at the Trillo Nuclear Power Plant (DPT) and a transport and storage cask for Hitachi (licensed in Japan). Based on the experienced gathered from these developments, it is presently at work on the design of a new fuel cask for PWR nuclear power plants (ENUN-P), soon to be presented for licencing. In the nuclear field, ENSA's main product is steam generators, of which more than 100 of Westinghouse, Siemens and Framatome designs have been manufactured. The last deliveries were four steam generators for Diablo Canyon (USA), vessel internals for the Oskarshan and Forsmark nuclear power plants and the container lid for the Vandellós II nuclear Power Plant. In the replacement market, ENSA currently manufactures two generators for the American market (Westinghouse design), three generators and a pressuriser for Belgium (Framatome design). For new sites it is manufacturing four generators for the Chinese market (Westinghouse design) and three generators for the French market (Framatome design). There are also several orders to supply new components for the American market (Westinghouse designed AP1000 generators and General Electric designed ESBWR vessels). As to Racks for the pools at the plants, ENSA has provided this equipment to all the national plants (the last one was to Cofrentes NPP) and also to several foreign plants such as the ones in Olkiluoto (Finland), Lungmen and Kuosheng (Taiwan), Yonggwang (Korea) and Ling-Ao (China).
