Agenda
NPP I&C: a time of transition
Reasons for increased interest in modern I&C technologies:
• Number of NPP units under construction is 44 representing 38 GWe total electrical capacity
• 1999: 40 “delayed” NPP projects → 2007: 10 operational + 9 under construction
• NPP operating licence beyond 60 → I&C modernization• Future new NPP constructions → introducing latest technologies
145 IAEA Member States
• 30 with operating NPPs (436 units 372 GWe)
• Additional 61 are interested in launching new NPP projects
New Nuclear Countries
61 have requested support from IAEA on what they need to introduce to have nuclear power
• Africa 20• Latin America 12• Asia pacific 20• Europe and FSU 9
NPP I&C: a time of transition
Plans in major countries:
• USA - 31 plants are under NRC review• China - 25 plants are planned• Japan - 9 plants are planned • Russia - 6 plants are planned• Korea - 5 plants are planned
