Energy Planning in IRAN

• Studies of AEOI and the Council of Nuclear Energy of Iran o Planning period: 2001-2021 o Forecasting for electricity demand: 47000-60000 MW o Forecasting for sharing: 4000-10000MW (%6-%13)

• Studies of Power Ministry Research Institute o Planning period : 2006-2026 o Forecasting for electricity demand: 123000MW o Forecasting for nuclear power sharing: 15000MW (%12) History of Nuclear Energy in IRAN

Nuclear Power Production and Development Company (NPPD)

Background • Division was part of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) since 1974, • Since Nov. 2004 this division has been transferred to Nuclear Power Production & Development Co. of Iran (NPPD).

Subject of Activity as per the Articles of Association o Management of and supervision on the company's capital to perform any types of activities in the field of production and development of nuclear power. o Management of and supervision on studies of site selection, design, construction, supply of nuclear fuel, safe operation, decommissioning of nuclear power plants and their installations. o Conduction of all transactions related to nuclear power. Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP-1) o Construction started in 1974, KWU design, 2 PWR units each 1293 MWe, o Construction stopped in 1980, o In Jan. 1996 contract was effective with RF to complete the unit-1 based on VVER-1000 type 446 (modified version of V-320) with most utilization of KWU available buildings & equipment. Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP-1) o First criticality achieved in May 2011 o Unit connected to the grid on Sep. 2011 o Unit provisional acceptance in Sep. 2013 o First refueling conducted, Feb. 2013 o Second refueling, Sep. 2015 Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP-1)

What was gained in BNPP-1 project:

• Updating national nuclear standards, • Competency building in National Companies for suitable contribution in the program, • Engineering experience in Project Management, • Sufficient training in new generation for Operation, • Participation of trained operators in commissioning phase which enabled them prepared for proper repair & maintenance activities and refueling, • Planning for development suitable Technical infrastructure, • Involvement of universities and research institutes in appropriate subjects, • Upgrading nuclear safety infrastructure including Regulatory Body, and; • Public awareness and acceptance Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP-1)

Development of BNPP-1 Capabilities:

• Qualified man power, • Updated Management system in line with GS-R-3, • Offsite Environmental Monitoring Center, Laboratories and monitoring stations, • Comprehensive Training system, including: Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant Training Center (BTC), Full Scope Simulator (FSS), Computer Based Training (CBT) and competence instructors. • Establishment of specialized companies in the field of TS, M&R.
