Fortum’s/NPP Loviisa Experience in Nuclear and Renewables Elizaveta Vainonen Contributors: S. Savolainen, P. Fast, A. Kaikkonen
Content • Defining the boundary conditions • Some remarks on energy mix • Loviisa NPP and modernization program • Radwaste • Conclusion
Some definitions • Sustainable
– Economically profitable – Safe – Possessing considerably more advantages than drawbacks from society point of
view • Renewables = subsidized, i.e. wind, sun, wave power etc
– Attn! Within the scope of this presentation hydropower is considered as traditional electricity generation, i.e. not renewable

• The share of hydropower and fossil fuels (mainly coal) in electricity generation varies according to the amount of hydropower available on the Nordic market from Norway and Sweden.
• ~120 companies producing electricity, ~400 PP, ≥ 200 of which are hydroelectric PP
• Diverse and distributed structure of electricity generation -> the security of electricity supply
• ~1/3 of electricity is produced in combined heat and power ~90% of the energy of the fuel can be converted into electricity and heat.
• Finland is a part of the joint Nordic electricity market in which free competition prevails.

Remarks on nuclear in energy mix • Advantages of nuclear
– Emission free energy production – Predictability and stability
• Challenges of nuclear
– Production is not very flexible – Cost competitiveness vs current power prices – Demanding long-term construction projects
• Regardless of challenges nuclear will endure
– Building of new NPPs is under consideration in about 40 countries. Decision to phase out production by nuclear has been made in 3 countries *
– According to recent forecast nuclear production will double by 2040**
*IEA World Energy Outlook 2015. Decision to terminate nuclear has been made in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland
**United States Department of Energy, Energy Information Administration, International Energy Outlook, May 2016
Current electricity prices on Nordic market discourage investments in any form of electricity generation

Average achieved price (€/MWh) for the production type depends on availability and flexibility. There are large variations in the cost of hydro, wind and solar depending on location and conditions.

Political decisions also cause challenges for traditional forms of electricity generation
• Subsidy-based renewable electricity generation has been a reason behind collapse of wholesale electricity market price
• Various national CO2- and renewables subsidy policies diminish the efficiency of EU emission trading scheme
• Some national taxation decisions distort competition between different forms of electricity generation

LOMO2 program: background
Main results of TEHO2 preliminary studies • As a result of the Fukushima accident, an extensive project for improving
safety will be carried out
• A comprehensive investment program will be needed to ensure the licensed operating life till 50 years
• A remarkable increase in the annual production will be reached by the process optimization of the secondary circuit system
• The spare parts for the critical components of the reactor island will guarantee both independence from the suppliers, and reliable and safe operation
13
LOMO2: goals • To guarantee continuous improvement of the NPP safety
• To optimize investments to exceed the remaining operating life of the
NPP nuclear – To increase the gross efficiency of the turbine island to at least 536 MW (2x268) – To decrease the NPP’s internal load as much as possible
• To ensure reliable production of the NPP for the remaining operating life
• To ensure excellent operability of the NPP
14
LOMO2: initial scope • Based on the final result and conclusion of the TEHO2 preliminary
project
• The program is divided into three sub-programs – "TUPA” – Program to improve safety – "SEPA" – Program to make fundamental improvements and increase
the efficiency of the turbine island – "REPA" – Program to make fundamental improvements at the reactor
island
• TUPA covers ca. 20% of the total cost • SEPA covers ca. 60 % • REPA covers ca. 20 %
15

LOMO2: method of implementation PROGRAM (LOMO2)
• An overall program which is updated when needed • Each project is approved separately by the portfolio management team • Collects and coordinates sub-programs, and strives for achieving the overall goals • Fits together the goals of LOMO2 and other large projects • The program has own steering group
EACH SUB-PROGRAM (TUPA, SEPA, REPA) • A plan with more details, combining modifications from various areas • Collects, coordinates and manages implementation of the projects belonging to a sub-
program and aims for overall optimization • Reports to LOMO2
PROJECTS • Are planned and implemented according to the LABC model as a part of a sub-program • Report to the sub-program according to the LABC model

• Demands of the interest groups are taken into consideration in the inspections already before the call for bids
• During implementation the program aims for supporting the implementation of the projects
• As the conditions change, the program/sub-program carries the overall management responsibility

Program management – risks
Potential risk Risk management Availability and accuracy of the initial data and design basis of components and systems
Measurements, calculations of present system, obligation for the supplier to use data from a corresponding target
Availability of resources Turnkey delivery, use of consultants in suitable / certain tasks, versatility
Modification of schedule Storage alternatives Replacement of main components simultaneously with automation renewal
As little alterations as possible. Installation options independent of LARP. Local measurements.
Budget Risk management at each stage as early as possible
Quality / delivery control Agreement upon a quality control program before signing a contract, audits, credit status inquiry, delivery control
23
LOMO2: summary • Optimization of overall profitability exceeding the operation life of the
NPP
• Study of alternative ways of implementation
• Transfer of tacit knowledge to new generation
• Improvement of NPP’s configuration management as a part of power plant life management
• Max electric power 536 – 560 MW depending on the scope of the implementation

Instead of conclusion
30
• EU environment and energy policies should support emission-free
production incl nuclear. Emission trading should be enhanced
• Subsidies of renewables, overlapping with emission trading and twisting the market, should be abandoned.
• Nuclear segment should renew
– Standardized NPP concepts, equipment, spare parts – Harmonized licensing – Better utilization of good practices
