  1. Nuclear Power Plant New Build Activity: A Market Overview Tim Collier Vice President Customer Relations & Sales - Asia Westinghouse Electric Company

  2. The Need for Power and Energy Security

  3. Asia Electricity Demand Growth Rate Net Electricity Consumption The electricity sectors of the countries in developing Asia are expected to be the fastest-growing in the world. In the region as a whole, net electricity consumption is projected to increase at an average rate of 3.7 percent per year from 2001 to 2025. Source: Energy Information Administration

  4. Anticipated Global Demand for New Nuclear Capacity Ref: The Future of Nuclear PowerAn Interdisciplinary MIT Study (2003) and Westinghouse Analysis 477 200 175 91 46 68 62 17 49 39 37 32

  5. New Build Activity Where? Just about everywhere! New plants under construction or strong consideration: Canada South Africa China South Korea Czech Republic Switzerland Finland Taiwan France Turkey India U.K. Russia U.S. Vietnam Japan Indonesia

  6. Challenge: Nuclear Power Must Be Cost-Competitive Comparative electricity generating cost projections for year 2010

  7. Westinghouse History and Strength

  8. Reactor Vessel for Westinghouse Shippingport PWRFirst US Commercial Nuclear Power Plant (1957)

  9. Westinghouse Strategic Objectives

  10. Leader in Advanced Reactor Licensing • 20 years ago Evolutionary ALWR reactor technology • System 80+ Design Certification (DC) on May 21,1997 • 15 years ago Passive reactor technology • AP600 DC on December 16, 1999 • Extended to Generation III+ AP1000 • DC December 30, 2005 • Generation IV nuclear plant technology • PBMR and IRIS (Pre-Application reviews underway)

  11. Key for Success:Localization and Technology Transfer Robust ROK new build program will also help us ensure success with other new build efforts

  12. Westinghouse AP1000

  13. A Historical Plant Perspective • Current nuclear power plants are safe, economic and increasingly competitive • Complicated systems with numerous active components • Quest for improved performance and safety pursued through redundancy and diversity • Operators required to take action on a relatively short time in response to plant upset conditions • Numerous designs with diverse project delivery teams and equipment suppliers • “Stick-build” construction and large on-site staffs

  14. Westinghouse Passive Technology AP1000 Modular Construction Passive Safety Systems NRC Approves Certification of Westinghouse AP1000 Advanced Reactor Design – the only Genreation III+ design to receive such certification Short Engineering and Construction Schedule Innovative Design Features US Licensing Approval Reduced Components & Commodity Components

  15. AP1000: Simplicity and Standardization • Design • Safety • Construction • Procurement • Operations • Maintenance Schedule for a Standard AP1000 Plant – 60 Months

  16. Involve Suppliers Early in the Process • To improve cost efficiencies • Streamline the overall planning of the project • Manage and identify global capacity, determine worldwide demand, identify gaps and implement gap closure plans • Align supply strategies to the area of the world where the plant is to be built • Identify customer localization requirements, reduce lead times, and continue the pursuit of qualified suppliers The result: A power plant with fewer sourced components from a pool of tightly integrated suppliers and sub suppliers

  17. Westinghouse in discussion with other utilities on AP1000 applications • Utility Submittal Technology • NuStart – TVA 2007 AP1000(2) • Dominion 2007 ESBWR(1) • Progress #1 2008 AP1000(2) • Duke 2007 AP1000(2) • Constellation 2008 EPR(1) • NuStart–Entergy 2008 ESBWR(1) • Entergy #2 2008 ESBWR(1) • Progress #2 2008 AP1000(2) • Southern 2008 AP1000(2) • SCANA 2007 AP1000(2) U.S. Market Signals Are Clear U.S. Utilities are Overwhelmingly Choosing Passive Reactor Technology
