2. Nuclear energy in Spain
Current situation of nuclear Energy in Spain
8 reactors at 6 locations
2 reactors in dismantling process
7,865 Mwe installed power: 7.27% of total
56,815 GWh produced in 2013: 20,8% of total
Avoids anual emission of between 30 and 40 million tons of CO2
Generates over 32% of emission-free electricity
Avoids importing 100 million petroleum barrels per year

3. The Spanish Nuclear
Industry
A competitive, consolidated and experienced industry:
Supports the operation of the Spanish nuclear power plants
Caters to an ever-growing international nuclear market
Present throughout the entire nuclear cycle
Participates in R+D programs: advanced reactors, nuclear
fusion (ITER) and high energy physics
Actively co-operates with international organizations: :
WANO, NEI, EPRI, NEA/OECD and IAEA

5. What is the Spanish
Nuclear Forum?
Association of companies that support activities related to
nuclear energy
Co-ordinates activities of common interest to the industry
Two tasks:
Influence
Facilitate
Goal: Achieve the long term operation of Spanish nuclear
power plants

7. Fuel Manufacturing
This factory is located in Juzbado (Salamanca,
Spain) and belongs to the ENUSA
Industrias Avanzadas Group
A highly qualified team that centers its activities
upon the first stage of the nuclear fuel cycle
From the start of its operation in 1985, they have manufactured and
provided over 17,000 fuel elements
Exports over 65% of its production

8. Equipment Goods
Capacities: from manufacturing main
equipment to turboalternators, valves or
equipment for fuel storage, both dry and
in pools
Provides equipment both to Spanish
nuclear power plants and to sites in the
United Kingdom, South Korea, South
Africa, Taiwan, Japan, China, etcetera.
Over 80% of its annual
production is destined to exports
slide 07

9. Engineering and Services
Wide experience in industrial services for
the nuclear sector, both national and
international
Capable of developing large electric
generation projects
Provides services to all types of reactors
during construction, operation and
maintenance of nuclear power plants
Leads the field in nuclear operator
training

10. Engineering and Services
Carries out a wide variety of engineering
and design for the ITER Project, through
European Union contracts or with other
national or international organizations
With projects in over 40
countries
Exports over 60% of its annual
production, and some
companies even 100%

11. Radioactive waste
management
In Spain, radioactive waste is managed by the public company
ENRESA
Low and medium activity waste: the
very low, low and medium level waste storage
center in El Cabril (Córdoba, Spain)
Used fuel: it is stored in the plant pools or in dry storage
when the pools are full or being dismantled
ATC (Centralised Storage Facility): Villar de
Cañas (Cuenca, Spain)  Important economic
motor for the area, and a source of employment.
Dismantling of nuclear and radioactive sites

12. Conclusions
The Spanish nuclear industry:
The internationalization of nuclear activities is a tendency that
has consolidated over the last few years
Nuclear companies have strived to retain and increase their
capacities in order to reach an ever growing international
market
The industrial nuclear sector is consolidated and prestigious,
and generates wealth and employment
It is also:
A niche of nuclear activity
A focus of qualified employment
An international source of prestige
A generator of the Spanish national trademark
