1 INPRO Dialogue Forum on Sustainable Supply Chains for Advanced Nuclear Power Systems (15th INPRO Dialogue Forum) IAEA Headquarters Vienna, Austria 2 4 July 2018 Ref. No.: EVT Information Sheet A. Background The International Project on Innovative Nuclear Reactors and Fuel Cycles (INPRO) was launched in the year 2000, based on resolution GC(44)/RES/21 of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference. INPRO s objective is to help ensure that nuclear energy is available in the twenty-first century in a sustainable manner. Four tasks are reflected in the INPRO Biennium Plan for , as endorsed by the Steering Committee: Task 1: Global Scenarios; Task 2: Innovations; Task 3: Sustainability Assessment and Strategies; and Task 4: Dialogue and Outreach. Additional details on the INPRO project are available on the INPRO website: A new nuclear power plant (NPP) requires complex or heavy forgings, and only a few manufacturing companies in the world have the capacity to accept ingots of the necessary size. However, many other components are also essential to support current and future nuclear power projects, and these call for reliable and diverse supplier bases. Further, in addition to those components that must be of nuclear grade, an NPP also relies on a wide range commercial grade components and structures. 1 P age

2 Over the past few decades, the nuclear supply chain experienced a number of significant changes. Common new challenges include a shortage of skilled engineers, the shrinking resources of manufacturing bases, shortened product life cycles, emerging new materials, advances in information technology, technological processes and standards, and the globalization of market economies. In recent years, the construction and operation of advanced NPPs have been impacted by significant procurement-related events and concerns. There have been temporary shutdowns of NPPs due to the installation of counterfeit, fraudulent or substandard items, as well as issues related to increased reliance on digital equipment and components containing software, computer security and increased globalization of the nuclear supply chain. Furthermore, world class equipment vendors act in a multi-tier business which is organized according to the principle of specify and assemble. All production level tiers comply with well-established and certified quality standards and have a matrix of suppliers and subcontractors, which are independent entities, supplying sub-assemblies according to internationally recognised standards. Therefore, it is essential to disseminate good practices and lessons learned with respect to procurement and supply chain issues among owner/operator organizations, regulatory bodies, suppliers, auditors, and other stakeholders throughout the nuclear industry. In the global economy, a reliable and robust global nuclear supply chain would help ensure the successful completion of construction of new NPPs in time and within budget, as well as provide quality assurance for safety regulation in the operation and maintenance of the plants. On the other hand, the governments of countries with established nuclear programmes tend to put great emphasis on localization of the supply chain in order to maximize the social and economic benefits of a nuclear power project through the use of local resources. For these reasons, the INPRO Steering Committee, at its 26th meeting in November 2017, endorsed the organization of an INPRO Dialogue Forum on Sustainable Supply Chains for Advanced Nuclear Power Systems to be held in The INPRO Dialogue Forums offer a platform for technology holders, technology users and other stakeholders to share information, perspectives and knowledge on issues related to sustainable nuclear energy development. The Dialogue Forums focus on topics and issues relevant to global nuclear energy sustainability in the twenty-first century, long term nuclear energy strategies and the role of nuclear technology innovations. Information on the INPRO Dialogue Forums may be found at: This Dialogue Forum will include keynote speeches, lectures and presentations by the invited participants and discussions among participants representing interested Member States and international organizations. B. Objectives The objectives of this 15th INPRO Dialogue Forum are as follows: To identify typical procurement processes used for NPP construction, operation and maintenance (although targeted at operating NPPs, the principles and processes to be presented at the Dialogue Forum are generally applicable to new-build advanced NPP projects and other nuclear facilities); To discuss the national, regional and global situation and address key issues and challenges in the nuclear supply chain; 2 P age

3 To identify proactive methods to avoid procurement-related issues such as counterfeit, fraudulent or substandard items for new and operating NPPs; To exchange information on related programmes that are relevant to a sustainable nuclear supply chain and to localization; and To draw up recommendations for the IAEA Secretariat and for the Member States with regard to sustainable supply chains for advanced nuclear power systems. C. Expected Outputs The expected outputs of the Dialogue Forum are: Enhanced understanding of the present situation and future opportunities regarding sustainable nuclear supply chains and localization; Identification and analysis of Member States needs with regard to creating or maintaining a supply chain for advanced and innovative nuclear power systems; and Identification of actions that the IAEA Secretariat should undertake to help Member States achieve sustainable supply chains. D. Expected Participation The INPRO Dialogue Forum is open to participants from the IAEA Member States, especially those from the following INPRO Members: Algeria, Argentina, Armenia, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United States of America and Viet Nam, as well as from the following organizations: the European Atomic Forum (FORATOM), the European Commission (EC), the Generation IV International Forum (GIF), the International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation (IFNEC), the Multinational Design Evaluation Programme (MDEP), the Nuclear Energy Agency of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD/NEA), the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP), the Western European Nuclear Regulators Association (WENRA), the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO), and the World Nuclear Association (WNA). All persons wishing to participate in the Dialogue Forum are required to complete the attached Participation Form (Form A). Designations by a formal letter with the completed Participation Form attached should be submitted to the IAEA through the established official channels (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs or National Atomic Energy Authority; or by an organization invited to participate), indicating as a reference number: EVT P age

4 Designations should be submitted for the attention of the Scientific Secretary of the Dialogue Forum, Mr Bongsoo Kim (please see contact details in Section H below). The full names and complete contact details (including postal address, telephone/fax numbers, and address) of designated participants should be provided. The designations with the completed Participation Forms attached should reach the IAEA not later than 4 May They should be sent to the Scientific Secretary of the Dialogue Forum by to: B.Kim@iaea.org with a copy to: L.Tagani@iaea.org. When completing the Participation Form please indicate whether you are planning to give a presentation, state the topic(s) that would be addressed in your presentation, and provide a brief explanation (about five to seven lines) of the content of the proposed presentation. The Scientific Secretary may contact participants to discuss the content of their presentations. Also, in accordance with the IAEA s policy, all presentations and other files should be uploaded on a computer used at a meeting room in advance. Therefore, the presentations and any other supplementary files should be sent to the Scientific Secretary by not later than 17 June 2018 (Microsoft PowerPoint files are preferable, although PDF format may also be used). When submitting the files electronically, please note that the size of a message should not exceed 5 MB. The Dialogue Forum is, in principle, open to all officially designated persons. The IAEA, however, reserves the right to limit participation should this become necessary due to limitations imposed by the available seating capacity.
