HPC’s two units represent Units 5 and 6 in the EPR series;

SZC will be Units 7 and 8 and an exact replica

– a true Second of a Kind

Final design of UK EPR

• The design work to comply with the UK’s own, unique, regulatory requirements has been completed

Qualified supply chain

• Equipment and technology has been designed and qualified

Construction replication benefit

• HPC has learned from experience of constructing Unit 1, and is driving improvements for Unit 2

• SZC will benefit through further replication into Units 3 and Unit 4

Systems, data and processes

• HPC is developing systems and data – a “Digital Twin”, to be reused by SZC

• HPC learning is embedded in its processes

Skills and capabilities

• Technical client – construction and operation

• Design, construction and commissioning

→

HPC has made significant progress, despite a challenging external environment

Key highlights:

• Significant progress has been made on Civils, with the project now moving into the MEH phase to install equipment and miles of pipes and cables.

• Unit 1 is now 17m taller, following the lift of Liner Ring 2 in March

• The Unit 1 Dome is complete

• All marine tunnelling is complete

• Equipment is arriving now, certified and ready to be installed, including the world’s largest turbine

• Good progress has been made manufacturing NSSS Equipment; with the RPV on track to be delivered by the end of the year

• The Simulator Building is now open, and is training future Reactor operators

→Mar-22: Unit 1 Liner Ring 2 lifted into place

Apr-22: Simulator building handed over to Pre operations

• The final and most detailed version of the design (Consistent State 2) is almost complete

• Unit 2 is benefitting from the learnings of Unit 1 construction, experiencing 20-30% efficiencies

• Installation of all 6 marine heads complete, with the heaviest tandem lift in a marine environment

Mar-22: The final tunnel (Intake Tunnel 2) completed Aug-22: Marine Installation of all 6 heads

Nuclear Skills – A National Perspective

Corhyn Parr Nuclear Skills Strategy Group

At a time of an aging nuclear workforce with the challenge of transferability to the next generation… The Skills Challenges – Within the Next Decade • AGR extensions and Closure Programme • Decommissioning • Waste repositories and reprocessing to direct disposal • Further nuclear expansion and digital developments – eg • Defence Programme • SMR development and deployment • ANTs • Fusion • Digital Upskilling • Also need for greater diversity, productivity and cost savings

The Scale of the Skills Challenge

A 24 GWE model Today

Need to increase recruitment by 300% to meet 24GW by 2050 Tight global labour market annual shortfall of engineering talent at all levels Competing national Infrastructure projects drawing from same skills pool Aging workforce –increased attrition Skills immigration challenges Jobs in remote parts of the UK Un diverse workforce Reduced labour market supply Nuclear Sector not seen as attractive Time to competence lengthy need to recruit and train ahead of contract award

Cabinet Office (Kingman Review) and Great British Nuclear 1. HMG to provide certainty to industry by optimising the scheduling/ sequencing nuclear projects (civil & defence) 2. Develop workforce Market Intelligence & Analysis 3. Scale up and de-risk apprentices, in public sector, government sponsored pool of apprentices 4.

The NDA Group

Accomplishing this important work requires the best efforts of the entire NDA group.

Cleaning up and decommissioning the UK’s nuclear legacy is a complex undertaking and relies on the full range of expertise and skills within the NDA group.

Over the last few years, important decisions have been taken on the way in which the organisations that deliver the NDA mission are managed, to create a stronger and more simply structured NDA group.

Tendering for NDA

We use 3 systems to advertise and to manage our contracts:

• Framework Contracts awarded by Crown Commercial Services or other procurement hubs for utilisation by the wider public sector Government Procurement Service website

NB new govt procurement website https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/

• New procurement opportunities with a cumulative value of over £10,000 Contracts Finder website

• New higher-value procurement opportunities with a cumulative total over the current EU threshold Tender Electronic Daily website
