MANAGING DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT


This Management Prospectus for Hinkley Point C is written at a time of exciting developments in
Nuclear Power in the UK. NNB Generation Company Limited was set up in 2009 to carry out the
safe design, construction and operation of four EPR in the UK. While the EPR design is new to
the UK, it is based on tried, tested and proven technology through over 30 years of safe and
successful operation of similar designs in France. As part of the EDF Group, we are uniquely
able to make full use of the vast experience gained from the design, construction and operation
of these stations.

This Management Prospectus and its associated dossier will underpin the ability of NNB
Generation Company Limited to hold, manage and operate to a Nuclear Site Licence, an
environmental permit and other arrangements with regulators thereby fulfilling its obligation with
regard to Safety, Environment, Security, Health, and Quality.

NNB Generation Company Limited through its Directors and Managers, together with its
shareholders EDF Energy and Centrica, understands its obligations under the Nuclear
Installations Act 1965 (as amended) and Environmental Permitting (England and Wales)
Regulations 2010, as well as its fundamental duties under other legislation including the Health
and Safety at Work Act 1974, Environmental Protection Act 1990, Environment Act 1995, the
extensive regulations made under these and other environmental, safety, health and security
statute.

The Directors of NNB Generation Company Limited understand and accept both their absolute
obligations under the nuclear licence and environmental permitting as well their more general
duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of its employees and the public.

This Management Prospectus and its associated dossier set down the corporate governance,
assurance and management system arrangements in place to ensure compliance with nuclear
licensing and environmental permitting at Hinkley Point C. It also covers arrangements for
complying with other environmental, safety, security and health requirements.

In carrying out our mission, we are committed to our work being undertaken in ways that are safe
and secure, transparent and environmentally responsible.

Finally, the events at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan remind us all of the hazards
associated with nuclear power generation, my management team and I are aware of both our
personal, moral and legal duties for the protection of people and the environment. We will lead by
example and encourage and support behaviours to deliver a culture where safety and care for
the environment underpins all we do.

Management Prospectus

1 INTRODUCTION
1. This Management Prospectus (MP) has been prepared by NNB Generation Company
Limited (NNB GenCo) as part of the application for a Nuclear Site Licence (NSL) and
Radioactive Substances Regulation environmental permit for the installation and
operation of two EPR nuclear power reactors at Hinkley Point in Somerset. NNB GenCo
was incorporated as a private limited company on 17 June 2009. Its Articles of
Association are dated 16th September 2009 [Section 3.1 of the NSL application
dossier].
2. The MP provides an overarching demonstration of how NNB GenCo will manage
nuclear safety, radiological safety, environmental protection, industrial safety and
physical security (hereafter referred to as Safety), and quality. The MP shows how the
organisation and arrangements are appropriate now and will be in the future as the
project progresses. In particular it will show (in conjunction with the Nuclear Baseline
[Ref 1] (NB)) that:
• NNB GenCo is appropriately constituted as a Company, including the
structure of the NNB GenCo Board of Directors and Executive Team;
• NNB GenCo has appropriate governance arrangements in place to ensure
and assure Safety;
• NNB GenCo has oversight and control of its activities that may have an
impact on Safety;
• NNB GenCo has sufficient, competent resources to be an Intelligent
Customer (IC) and manage its activites;
• Nuclear safety related roles and posts have been identified for the baseline
organisation and sufficient, competent resources will be available at the right
time to fulfil those as the organisation develops;
• NNB GenCo will have control of design and pre-construction activities; and
• There is a suitable Integrated Management System (IMS) to enable the
Company to operate and fulfil its mission.
3. NNB GenCo’s core activities are the design, procurement, manufacturing, construction,
commissioning, operation and eventual decommissioning of new nuclear power plants
in the UK. NNB GenCo plans to build and operate four EPR’s in the UK. There will be
twin units at Hinkley Point C (HPC) in Somerset and Sizewell in Suffolk. It is intended
that NNB GenCo will be the nuclear site licensee and environmental permit holder for
these sites and will be supported by Electricité de France SA (EDF SA) including EDF’s
nuclear engineering division (Division Ingénierie Nucléaire or ‘DIN’), in particular as
Responsible Designer (RD) and Architect Engineer (AE).
4. The hazards in this pre-construction phase are largely from latent hazards (those which
may appear in future phases as a result of work now) which may be introduced during
the design stage or manufacturing activities and industrial hazards from site.
5. NNB GenCo has processes in place to control the design, assess it and accept it as well
as having the EDF SA design processes. Safety Cases will be produced to support the
design and demonstrate that the design is robust with the highest standards of nuclear
safety and environmental management.
6. Industrial hazards are managed appropriately through risk assessment and proper
authorisation of work.

Management Prospectus

7. The MP and NB consider the early activities NNB GenCo will undertake during the pre-
construction phase, including the management of design and safety case development,
procurement, site preparation and preliminary works. The MP and NB will be reviewed
and revised to fully reflect the requirements of construction, commissioning and later for
full operation.
8. NNB GenCo is committed to setting high standards in nuclear safety that deliver best
practice, considering International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) requirements and the
advice of organisations such as the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO)
and the Institute of Nuclear Power Operators (INPO) in developing these standards.
Guidance specific to a MP has been considered and this specifically includes guidance
given by the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) [Refs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8], the
Environment Agency (EA) [Ref’s 9 and 10] and joint regulatory guidance [Ref 11].
9. NNB GenCo has developed an overarching Health, Safety, Environment and Quality
Policy (see Appendix B). The underpinning management arrangements reflect best
practices, processes and procedures as reflected in IAEA requirements, ISO standards
(e.g. ISO 9001, 14001, 18001, 27001) and guidance from the EA and Health and Safety
Executive (HSE), as well as its parent EDF SA, the world’s largest owner and operator
of nuclear power plants.
10. NNB GenCo will ensure that excellence in Safety are at the forefront of what we do
throughout the organisation. This will be achieved through:
• Robust standards and processes based on national and international best
practice and guidance, as well as legislative compliance;
• Implementing those standards and processes with competent people;
• Control and oversight of its activities;
• The proactive identification and mitigation of Safety hazards;
• Challenging ourselves to seek opportunities to improve, and ensuring
systematic robust challenge from the Independent Assessment Challenge
and Oversight (IACO) and review of designs and safety documentation;
• Challenge from Safety Committees like the Nuclear Safety Committee
(NSC) and Safety Health and Environment Committee (SHEC);
• Actively seeking and learning from others experience internationally,
nationally and within the EDF Group to ensure feedback and experience
are identified, assessed, action taken to prevent similar incidents and that
experience is shared; and
• Ensuring a good safety culture where challenge and learning are
encouraged.

11. The Independent Assessment, Challenge and Oversight (IACO) team working for the
Safety Director provide the essential Independent Challenge within NNB GenCo, and
communicate through the Safety Director to the Board and Executive.
12. The Board is systematically updated on Safety, challenge and feedback/experience. In
this way the Board are fully informed to enable proper consideration of Safety
management and help ensure conservative decision making.

13. NNB GenCo recognise that the organisation will change through Construction,
Commissioning and into Operation to reflect the activities and hazards for that phase
and the need to maintain a capable licensee organisation.

NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

14. The overall resource requirements and manpower needs within NNB GenCo are
managed through the Company’s resource strategy [Ref 12] and the supporting Medium
Term Plan. Maintaining a capable licensee organisation with be achieved through:

• Recruitment of staff commensurate with the Resourcing Strategy [Ref 12]


and the use of links with EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd and EDF SA
to bring in technical staff into NNB GenCo;
• Competency Assessment and Training;
• Succession Planning; and
• Managing Change.

15. NNB GenCo have developed processes and an organisation to support the safe
procurement of materials and services relating to the build of HPC. They demonstrate
how NNB GenCo:
• Assures that materials and services delivered by the supply chain meet
required standards;
• Correctly identify and specify work requirements and standards;
• Identify suitably qualified and experienced potential tenderers;
• Evaluate and select the right Contractor(s);
• Demonstrate “Intelligent Customer” capability;
• Identify and control interfaces with AE procurement processes via Interface
Specifications;
• Identify appropriate interfaces with other NNB GenCo departments such as
Design Authority and Construction; and
• Control procurement.
16. The Architect Engineer (AE) will support the procurement process, however NNB
GenCo have control and accountability in all the steps.
17. The Company Manual [Ref 13] describes in detail the way in which the organisation is
governed. It sets out the Company mission and values and summarises the principal
governance arrangements approved by the NNB GenCo Board.
18. Other documents, as summarised in the Head Document [Ref 14], provide additional
information and the Head Document is a route map for the application dossier.
Collectively the documents in the dossier meet the requirements of the licence
application process as defined in ‘The processing of licence applications for new nuclear
sites’ [Ref 5] and ‘The licensing of nuclear installations’ [Ref 4], aimed at organisations
seeking to become a UK nuclear site licensee.
19. The MP demonstrates that NNB GenCo is a competent nuclear site licensee and
environmental permit holder, progressing through construction and commissioning to
operation to be a world class owner and operator of nuclear power plants.

2 NNB GENCO

2.1 The Company


2.1.1 NNB GenCo
20. NNB Generation Company Limited (NNB GenCo) was incorporated on 17 June 2009 as
a private limited company, NNB GenCo’s company number is 06937084 and its
registered office is at 40 Grosvenor Place, London SW1X 7EN, with its principal office at
the Qube, 90 Whitfield Street, London W1T 4EZ.
21. NNB GenCo is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NNB Holding Company Limited (“NNB
Holding Company”). NNB Holding Company is a joint venture held 80% by EDF Energy
Holdings Limited, and 20% by Centrica plc through its subsidiary, GB Gas Holdings
Limited.
22. This corporate structure is shown in Figure 1.
23. NNB GenCo is structured to have sole responsibility for licensed activity related to the
design, construction, commissioning, operation and eventual decommissioning of UK
EPR’s. NNB GenCo shall have control of all activities required to be conducted under
its NSL and environmental permits as well as other safety, security, transport and
environmental legislation.
24. Adequate financial resources will be made available to NNB GenCo by its shareholders
to enable NNB GenCo to meet its NSL and other obligations.
25. EDF Energy Holdings Limited is the owner of the EDF Energy Nuclear Generation
group of companies, which in turn own and operate 15 nuclear power reactors on 8
sites in the UK, including Hinkley Point B (HPB). The EDF SA Group of companies also
operates 58 nuclear power reactors in France, with a combined capacity of
approximately 63 GWe. EDF SA is the largest nuclear utility in the world.
26. EDF SA and Areva are the joint Requesting Parties for the Generic Design Assessment
(GDA) for the EPR. Additionally, NNB GenCo will enter into agreements for EDF SA to
serve as the RD and AE. These agreements will ensure NNB GenCo can fulfil its
responsibilities as a nuclear site licensee and permit holder as an intelligent customer
for those services.
27. Further details about the Company and its Parents are set out in the NNB GenCo
Company Manual.

2.1.2 NNB GenCo Vision and Values


28. NNB GenCo’s Vision is “Leading the way in building a fleet of safe, reliable nuclear
power stations without costing the earth.”
29. Our Values drive our operating principles and our ambitions, and they are fundamental
to the way we work. These values, which we share with the other members of the EDF
Group, are:
• Respect for individuals;
• Respect for the environment;
• Excellent performance;
• Social responsibility; and
• Integrity.

Page 14 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

30. The NNB GenCo Health, Safety, Environment and Quality Policy explains that safety
and care for the environment are our overriding priorities and we are committed to
achieve this through the excellence of our quality arrangements and by providing
appropriate training to employees.
31. More information may be found in the NNB GenCo Company Manual.

2.1.3 Organisation of NNB GenCo


32. There are seven Executive Directors on the NNB GenCo Board, being the Chairman
and Managing Director, the Project Director HPC, the EPR Architect Director, the Client
Construction Director, the Director of Planning and External Affairs, the Finance Director
and the Human Resources (HR) Director. Two Non-Executive Directors have been
appointed and a third will be appointed prior to granting of the NSL.
33. The Safety Director and Company Secretary will attend the Board.
34. Those Executive Directors, who are not currently employed by EDF SA, will be
employed by NNB GenCo prior to granting of the NSL.
35. The EPR Architect Director and the Client Construction Director are both employed by
EDF SA; as Directors of NNB GenCo they, like the other Directors, will be solely
focused on the HPC project and have no conflicts of interest with the mission of NNB
GenCo.
36. However, to reinforce this, NNB GenCo and EDF SA will enter into a secondment
agreement with the EPR Architect Director and the Client Construction Director.
37. Therefore, NNB GenCo, has in place a Board structure ready to become a Licensee
and controlling mind, having a Board that is solely focused on the mission of NNB
GenCo with no other conflicts from other companies within the EDF Group.
38. All other personnel below Board level will be seconded into NNB GenCo from EDF
Energy plc or EDF SA. This will be via two secondment agreements; one between NNB
GenCo and EDF Energy plc, and one between NNB GenCo and EDF SA.
39. The secondment agreements will ensure personnel seconded into NNB GenCo are
embedded into the organisation, effectively as employees.

2.2 The Role of the Architect Engineer and Responsible


Designer
40. NNB GenCo will be the nuclear site licensee and environmental permit holder for HPC.
It will be supported by its parent Company, Electricité de France SA (EDF SA) including
EDF SA’s nuclear engineering division (Division Ingénierie Nucléaire or ‘DIN’).
41. EDF SA will be appointed by NNB GenCo as the Architect Engineer (AE) and
Responsible Designer (RD) for HPC with appropriate arrangements in place to ensure

3 THE UK EPR FOR HINKLEY POINT C

3.1 The Hinkley Point C Site


111. HPC will be located at Hinkley Point, on the north coast of the County of Somerset on
Bridgwater Bay. It will be within the civil parish of Stogursey in the District of West
Somerset. The grid reference of the approximate centre of the HPC site is ST 203 458.
112. The proposed site for HPC is located to the west and south of two existing nuclear
installations, Hinkley Point A (HPA) and HPB. HPA is a two-unit Magnox nuclear power
plant managed by Magnox Ltd. HPA is currently being decommissioned under the
authority of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). HPB is a two-unit nuclear
power plant utilising Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) that are operated by EDF
Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd.
113. NNB GenCo intends to design, construct, commission, operate and decommission two
UK EPR reactors on the HPC site.
114. The UK EPR’s will be based on the Areva/EDF design being considered in the GDA
process. The reactor design has been developed by Areva in partnership with EDF SA
and is a third generation design which embodies experience from German and French
Pressurised Water Reactor (PWR) designs.
115. It combines the latest technologies to provide enhanced safety, environmental
protection, technical and economic performance above those of existing reactors. The
use of a standard design provides significant benefits including taking advantage of
overseas experience involving many years of design input and detailed regulatory
review.
116. A plot plan (Figure 2) showing the boundary of the licensed site and a schedule of
buildings and activities being undertaken therein is shown in Section 6.1 of the NSL
application dossier.
117. The land that comprises the HPC nuclear licensed site falls into three landholdings and
will be leased to NNB GenCo under the terms of 999 year leases.
118. The leases will give NNB GenCo exclusive possession and therefore the right to control
access to the site.
119. New Nuclear Safety Cooperation Agreements will exist between NNB GenCo, Magnox
Limited and EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd dealing with common issues relating to
access, interactions, shared services and emergency arrangements. These will take
effect at the point HPC is licensed.
120. NNB GenCo will have overall control of activities at the site throughout the construction
period (and beyond) supported by the AE.
121. Ancillary support activities and buildings, such as offices for management, engineering
and human resources, maintenance facilities, warehouses, and storage facilities will
also be onsite. A training centre/simulator and electrical substation will be built during
construction phase just outside the licensed site boundary. Other temporary laydown
areas, offices and a public information centre will also be constructed just outside the
licensed site boundary.
122. Prior to the granting of the NSL other agreements and arrangements will be in place
with EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Ltd and EDF Development Company Ltd to allow
NNB GenCo to undertake preliminary works on the HPC site.

3.2 Basic EPR Description


123. The HPC Site will have two UK EPR’s.
124. The UK EPR reactor is a PWR with a rated thermal power of 4500 MW and an electrical
power output around 1630 MW depending on conventional island technology and heat
sink characteristics.
125. The EPR evolutionary design is based on experience gained over many years of
operation of Light Water Reactors (LWR) worldwide, primarily the most recent European
PWRs (the N4 and KONVOI reactors operating in France and Germany respectively).
The EPR primary system design, loop configuration, and main components are similar
to those of currently operating PWRs, giving a proven foundation for the design.
126. Relative to current generation PWRs, the EPR design philosophy has the following
objectives:
• To further reduce the likelihood of core damage;
• To further reduce the likelihood of large releases of radioactivity;
• To mitigate the consequences of severe accidents;
• To protect critical systems from external events;
• To achieve an improved plant availability factor;
• To give extended flexibility for different fuel cycle lengths and capability for
load following;
• To give increased savings on uranium consumption per MWh produced; and
• To achieve further reduction in long-lived actinides generation per MWh
through improved fuel management.
127. The EPR operating design life of 60 years, reduced fuel consumption and waste
production per unit of energy output, contributes significantly to energy production from
a low carbon source.
128. The following list identifies the key structures contained within the EPR unit:
• Reactor building used principally to house the nuclear steam-supply system;
• Safeguard buildings and the electrical buildings are split into four divisions,
(trains) each containing a series of emergency systems with electrical support
systems;
• Fuel building;
• Interim Fuel Store;
• Nuclear auxiliary building;
• Diesel-generator buildings;
• Effluent-treatment building;
• Turbine hall containing the turbo-generator, the condenser and the feedwater
plant;
• Conventional island electrical building also known as the unclassified electrical
building;
• Power-transmission and subsidiary feed platform;
• Access tower building;

Page 30 of 58

Management Prospectus

• Pumping station and the pre-discharge and discharge ponds;


• Operational service centre;
• Gas and chemical storage building; and
• Site waste water collecting and processing building.
129. An illustration of the completed HPC site is shown in Figure 3.
130. The detailed safety case for the EPR and its construction will be contained in the HPC
Pre-Construction Safety Report (PCSR).

3.3 Related Permissions, Consents and Permits


3.3.1 Funded Decommissioning Programme
131. NNB GenCo, as the prospective holder of a NSL, understands the importance of
ensuring adequate funding is in place to deal with future decommissioning and waste
management.
132. NNB GenCo will be submitting a FDP for HPC to the DECC for approval pursuant to
Section 45 of the Energy Act 2008.
133. The FDP will comprise the Decommissioning Waste Management Plan and Funding
Arrangements Plan which are currently planned for submission to Department for
Energy and Climate Change (DECC) prior to granting of the NSL.
134. The Decommissioning Waste Management Plan provides a summary of how waste and
decommissioning will be managed at HPC and will set out the cost estimates, including
risk and contingency.
135. The Funding Arrangements Plan will comprise a contract between NNB and an
independent fund Company established for the purpose of holding the decommissioning
and waste management funds remote from NNB and Government. It will set out in detail
how the waste and decommissioning funds will be managed, including requirements for
reporting on fund performance and the review of cost estimates and contributions to the
fund.
136. An approved FDP will be in place prior to commencement of the construction phase.

3.3.2 Third Party Nuclear Liability


137. NNB GenCo has sought the approval of the DECC that the cover period under section
19 (1) of the Nuclear Installations Act (NIA) 1965 shall be effective from the date of
initial receipt of nuclear fuel at HPC.

3.3.3 Generic Design Assessment


138. The HSE and the EA developed the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process in
response to a request from the Government following its 2006 Energy Review.
139. In their contributions to the Government’s Energy Review, the HSE and EA set out
proposals to assess new nuclear reactor designs, in advance of any site-specific
proposals to build a nuclear power station. The process became known as the GDA.
140. The GDA process has been set up to improve clarity and certainty in the new nuclear
power station regulatory process. It provides a structured process for early engagement
between reactor designers and regulators, with HSE and EA working together. It allows
safety cases for the generic new reactor designs to be assessed well ahead of any

Page 31 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

construction in the UK, and for safety issues to be identified and resolved early in the
project. GDA also allows the possibility of using a generic safety case as the basis for
the regulation of a fleet of reactors, based on a common design, enabling EDF SA,
Areva and NNB GenCo to plan with improved confidence.
141. The GDA submission comprises the Safety, Security and Environmental Report (SSER)
for the proposed UK EPR design, supplemented by a number of supporting documents,
providing further information in a number of areas. The SSER comprises a PCSR
containing nuclear safety aspects of the UK EPR design and a Pre-Construction
Environmental Report (PCER) describing the environmental impact of the reactor,
including both nuclear and non-nuclear discharges and waste production. The security
of the plant against deliberate malevolent acts is discussed in separate submissions
which are outside the scope of these documents.
142. AREVA and EDF SA have submitted a joint application for GDA of the UK EPR. This
nuclear power reactor combines familiar and proven technology with performance and
safety innovations. The UK EPR is based on the EPR reactor already being built at
Flamanville 3 in France.
143. A HSE Design Acceptance Confirmation (DAC) and Environment Agency Statement of
Design Acceptability (SoDA) for the UK EPR are expected prior to the start of nuclear
island construction.

3.3.4 Infrastructure Planning Commission


144. NNB GenCo is proposing to develop a new nuclear power station at HPC on land
adjacent to the existing A and B stations. This requires an application for a development
consent order to be submitted to the IPC for the main development on the site itself, as
well as associated development at other locations necessary to facilitate construction
and operation of the new power station. NNB GenCo have submitted a separate
planning application to West Somerset Council to authorise preliminary site works at
Hinkley Point and an application for a Harbour Empowerment Order to the Marine
Management Organisation to authorise a temporary jetty at Hinkley Point.
145. The Planning Act 2008 imposes a duty on promoters of Nationally Significant
Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) to consult those who would be directly affected by the
proposed development, people living in the vicinity of land proposed for development,
the general public, local authorities and a range of other statutory consultees before
submitting an application to the IPC for a Development Consent Order (DCO).
146. NNB GenCo has almost completed the consultation process with stakeholders, the local
community and the general public. For these purposes stakeholders are defined as
statutory and non statutory consultees. Statutory consultees cover organisations
prescribed by the IPC including, for example: the EA; Natural England; District/County
and Unitary local authorities; Parish/Town Councils; and people with an interest in land
proposed for development. Non-statutory bodies include a range of other relevant
stakeholders at a local, regional and national level.
147. The consultation has been undertaken in two stages. Stage 1 consultation on NNB
GenCo’s Initial Proposals and Options for the development of HPC was carried out
between November 2009 and January 2010 in accordance with a Statement of
Community Consultation (SOCC) published in November 2009.
148. Stage 2 consultation was carried out between July and October 2010 on Preferred
Proposals with a Stage 2 update consultation (an update on and proposed changes to
preferred proposals) being carried out between February and March 2011.

Page 32 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

149. An application for a DCO will be submitted to the IPC or its successor body. It is
anticipated that the assessment period for the DCO will be around 12 months and there
will be interactions with IPC and its successor body throughout the period.
150. NNB GenCo will not proceed beyond preliminary works on the HPC site without receipt
of the DCO.

3.3.5 Environmental Permits


151. NNB GenCo is proposing to construct, commission and operate a new nuclear power
station at HPC. Activities during these project phases will require environmental permits
to be granted by the EA under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales)
Regulations 2010. Some permits will be relatively limited in scope and will only affect
activities undertaken in the construction phase.
152. Three permits supporting the commissioning and operation of the power station,
referred to as ‘operational permits’, are being applied for early in the project lifecycle so
that they can be considered in parallel with the application to the IPC for a Development
Consent Order. The environmental permits do not just contain numerical limits that
must not be exceeded - the fundamental permit conditions relate to the requirement for
a permit holder to have suitable management arrangements, including an organisational
structure and governance and sufficient competent persons and resources to operate
the activities covered by the permit. The permits also require the use of ‘best available
techniques’ (BAT) to minimise impacts on the environment.
153. An environmental permit is required for the operation of large combustion plant - a
‘combustion activity’ - such as the essential diesel generators and any associated plant
which is required to provide power in the event of a loss of grid supply. The permit
requires the operator to use energy efficiently, to avoid, recover and dispose of waste
produced by the activities, to establish and maintain controls to minimise the risk of
pollution and any emissions from the installation, to monitor emissions and to maintain
and implement an Accident Management Plan. NNB GenCo is planning to make an
application for a combustion activity permit.
154. The discharge of cooling water, trade effluent and treated sewage effluent to coastal
waters requires a permit for a ‘water discharge activity’. The permit conditions and limits
are designed to ensure the operator uses BAT to minimise impacts on the marine
environment from temperature, impingement of fish and marine organisms and
chemicals in cooling water discharges. NNB GenCo is planning to make an application
for a water discharge activity permit.
155. Schedule 23 of the regulations is referred to as the Radioactive Substances Regulations
(RSR). Under the RSR, the EA is responsible for regulating all disposals of radioactive
waste from nuclear sites in England and Wales; “disposal” of radioactive waste includes
discharges into the atmosphere, discharges into the sea, rivers, drains or groundwater,
disposals to land, and disposals by transfer to another site. The RSR application and
supporting documentation prepared by NNB GenCo is consistent with that required by
the EA for determining an application for an environmental permit. It is in line with the
UK radioactive waste strategy and proposes limits on radioactive discharges from the
site that will deliver good environmental protection.
156. The EA will invite comments on environmental permit applications made by an operator
after determining that the application is duly made. The applications will be placed on
the public register and comments sought. The EA has a policy of increased
consultation on applications at sites where they consider there is, or is likely to be a high
degree of public interest. In these situations they may engage in additional consultation

Page 33 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

activities including consultation on the draft permit and their decision document. Their
approach is tailored to specific local circumstances.
157. For all of the environmental permits, arrangements for compliance are already or will be
integrated within the NNB GenCo management system. Forward action plans and
appropriate hold points in the project programme will be used to deliver effective
implementation of the permit conditions over the phases of the project.

3.4 Overall Phasing


158. NNB GenCo’s approach to the HPC project is to utilise best practices and to take
advantage of the guidance of organisations such as the IAEA, WANO, and INPO in
developing NNB GenCo standards. As discussed below, NNB GenCo is also taking
advantage of the best practices of its parent Company EDF SA, who are experienced
designers, constructors and operators of nuclear power plants.
159. The basic phases of the project are outlined below:
• Pre-Construction - NNB GenCo is currently in this phase of the project. During
this phase, NNB GenCo are controlling detailed design, procurement and
manufacturing of long-lead time items, and preparation of the site, including
preliminary works for construction. This phase also includes a shadow working
period for main safety-related construction. NNB GenCo has or is in the
process of developing the requisite organisation and procedures to control
such activities;
• Construction - This phase entails the construction and installation of safety-
related structures, systems, and components. This phase will not commence
until the NSL has been granted and other prerequisite permits, permissions
and authorisations have been granted. NNB GenCo expects that the
construction phase will last several years, beginning with pouring of the first
safety-related concrete, and ending with the completion of pre-operational
testing.
• Non-Active Commissioning - This phase includes inactive commissioning of
safety-related systems and components and hot functional testing. Fuel
delivery (i.e. the commencement of radioactive commissioning) will not take
place until the appropriate non-active commissioning is complete for the
structures and systems associated with fuel storage;
• Radioactive Commissioning - This phase begins with first fuel delivery and
consists of active commissioning (e.g. testing of fuel storage systems following
nuclear fuel receipt; loading of fuel in the reactor vessel, initial criticality, and
power ascension testing);
• Operation - This phase follows the completion of radioactive commissioning
and NNB GenCo’s lifting of its Hold Point for Operation (described below). It
includes maintenance, examination, testing, operation of the plant, and the
treatment, processing, keeping, storing, accumulation or carriage of any
radioactive waste; and
• Decommissioning - This phase consists of dismantling, decommissioning, and
removal of the plant following completion of operation.
160. The phases are not necessarily distinct and are likely to overlap. For example, NNB
GenCo expects that detailed design activities for some later construction activities (such
as the design of low level waste storage systems) will still be ongoing during preliminary
works activities related to building foundations. Similarly, NNB GenCo expects that

Page 34 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

systems and areas will be handed over from the constructor to the testing organisation
at different times, such that some systems will be undergoing non-active commissioning
while the construction of other systems will be ongoing. In addition, construction of the
two Hinkley Point units will be staggered, such that the first unit is expected to become
operational while the second unit is still undergoing construction and commissioning.
161. The overall programme for the construction at HPC, including the preliminary works
incorporates:
• The site preparation works;
• Construction and subsequent operation of the temporary jetty;
• Construction of the on-site accommodation campus;
• Construction of HPC, including the nuclear island, conventional island, the
balance of plant, ancillary buildings and structure, the National Grid 400kV
substation and overhead line transmission infrastructure;
• Construction of the Interim Fuel Store;
• Construction of the cooling water infrastructure;
• Dismantling and removal of the temporary jetty;
• Removal of the on-site accommodation campus; and
• Landscape restoration.

3.4.1 Hinkley Point C Hold Points


162. NNB have set hold points to ensure ordered and sequential progress between defined
steps in the programme and that they are managed in a safe, cost effective and
controlled manner. NNB GenCo recognise that HSE or EA may select any of the
identified hold points for formal regulatory hold points or impose additional ones within
their powers.
163. The NNB GenCo process for defining, managing and releasing these hold points is
described in Ref 17, including the management of ONR & EA permissions.
164. NNB GenCo have defined a set of primary hold points outlined below:
• NNB GenCo taking control of the HPC site;
• DCO Application;
• Final Investment Decision;
• First Safety Concrete;
• Nuclear Island Concrete;
• Non-Active Commissioning;
• Active Commissioning;
• First Criticality; and
• Rating Certificate.
165. It should be noted that the Hold Point List will develop and change as the project
progresses.
166. Each of the specific hold points will have a set of specified assessment criteria to
determine whether permission should be granted by NNB GenCo to release the hold

Page 35 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

point and proceed with the work. These criteria are determined by the nature of the
operation to be performed and the risks associated with it. They may be related to the
organisation, procedures, competency & training, safety case documentation,
availability of systems, or to the maturity of key elements of the design.
167. In addition to these proposed primary NNB GenCo hold points, NNB GenCo have set
secondary and tertiary hold points to ensure that work does not proceed until specified
pre-requisites and approvals have been satisfied.

3.5 HPC Site Organisation


168. The HPC Construction Director has full responsibility for the HPC Site and activities
during construction and up until handover to the Pre-Operations Director.
169. The key responsibilities of the HPC Construction Director during the Pre-Construction
phase are:
• Pre-construction planning for the construction phase;
• Creating and maintaining a culture of construction excellence including all
aspects of safety, environmental management and security on the HPC site;
and
• Establishing and maintaining a site organisation to deliver the project and
satisfy nuclear site licensing and environmental permitting requirements.
170. The detailed construction organisation is currently being developed based on reviews of
industry best practice. This will be covered in a revised MP and NB prior to construction.
171. The functions that will report through to the HPC Construction Director include:
• Off-site Construction;
• Nuclear, Environmental and Site Controls;
• Construction Support;
• Site Engineering;
• Commissioning;
• Construction Safety;
o Industrial safety inspection and advice.
• HR, Business and Site Support;
o Security;
o Construction Training; and
o Organisational Learning for Construction.
172. Key interfaces between the HPC site and central NNB GenCo functions are with:
• Safety Directorate for oversight;
• Design Authority (supplying “accepted” designs to the site teams and the
modifications process);
• Project Management;
• Project Controls; and
• Procurement.

Page 36 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

173. During the construction phase, the intent is that the design will be received by the
Construction Support Team as accepted by the NNB GenCo DA. The design packages
will be supplied to the HPC Construction Team for the build.
174. It should be noted that prior to SZC construction commencing, the impact on the HPC
Organisation (and its support from NNB GenCo, and EDF SA as the AE and RD) will be
assessed to ensure appropriate resources are available.

4 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

4.1 Background
175. The NNB GenCo management system defines the processes, procedures,
measurement, assessment and continual improvement techniques, management
responsibilities and commitment, line organisation and the main interfaces between
NNB GenCo, EDF Energy and others. The management system integrates safety,
health, environmental, security, and quality requirements.
176. This document describes NNB GenCo management system processes and procedures
to be implemented through a prioritised work plan as well as the measurement,
assessment and continual improvement techniques to be implemented.
177. The NNB GenCo Integrated Management System (IMS) is guided by current standards
including:
• The IAEA Safety Requirements No. GS-R-3, ‘The Management System for
Facilities and Activities’;
• International Organisation for Standardization (ISO) BS EN ISO 9001:2008;
• BS EN ISO 14001:2004;
• BS OHSAS 18001:2007; and
• BS EN ISO/IEC 27001: 2007.
178. The management system manual applies to all phases of the project life cycle and for
the entire duration of activities.
179. The management system manual will be regularly reviewed including before the
beginning of each phase to ensure the requirements of that phase will be met.
180. The full management system is presented in the Management System Manual [Ref
18], a summary is presented herein relevant to the MP.
181. Compliance Matrices have been developed on how the NSL conditions translate into
the NNB Management System for current and future phases of work. These are
contained in section 4,1 of the licence application dossier.

4.2 Process Categories


182. Process categories define the processes that exist within the framework as being core,
management or support processes:
• Management Processes drive, govern and assure all other processes within
the framework;
• Core Processes deliver the organisations key products and services and are
typically expressed as a value chain, taking an input and transforming it into a
value adding output; and
• Support Processes are enablers for the core and management processes.
183. Figure 7 shows the document hierarchy within the IMS and the relationship between
strategy, policy, process, procedure, and the tools and standards
184. Figure 8 below shows Process Groups.

5 ORGANISATIONAL CAPABILITY

5.1 Nuclear Baseline


243. The Nuclear Baseline (NB) is an integral part of the arrangements that demonstrate that
NNB GenCo is an ‘intelligent operator’, a capable licensee and holder of environmental
permits and consents. It shows that it has the organisation, resource and competences
needed for this Pre-Construction phase and is preparing for the capability challenges of
the future. The NB is owned by the HR Director.
244. NNB GenCo recognises the importance of the NB throughout the lifecycle of the project
and has developed an approach that draws on best practice and reflects regulatory and
industry guidance.
245. The NB has a number of purposes:
• To demonstrate that NNB GenCo, as the holder of the NSL and
Environmental Permits and Consents, has suitable and sufficient
organisational structures, resources and competence to be able to reliably
and effectively carry out all activities that may impact on nuclear safety;
• To describe responsibilities to adequately manage the design supply
chain and ensure adequate technical competences to oversee the nuclear
safety related activities are available at the right time in the lifecycle;
• To support the development of the IC capability for the oversight of
nuclear safety related activities undertaken on its behalf by others;
• As an ongoing management tool to provide a reference point for the
assessment of change;
• Provide evidence that NNB GenCo is in control of activities through the
right allocation of responsibilities for all work that has the potential to
impact on nuclear safety;
• Demonstrate how nuclear responsibilities for safety, environment and
security are allocated across the organisation to achieve legal
compliance; and
• Provide an overview of the staffing levels for this Pre-Construction phase
and a look ahead to the future.

246. Like the MP, the NB will be updated at appropriate intervals to take account of changes
to the organisation.
247. The NB also identifies vulnerabilities and the associated mitigation.
248. The NB provides the detailed roles, capability and posts to support the MP for NNB
GenCo as an NSL and Environmental permit holder.

5.2 Control of Organisational Change


249. NNB GenCo recognises the importance of identifying and managing organisational
change.

Page 47 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

250. NNB GenCo has produced and are currently implementing robust arrangements which
apply from top to bottom in the organisation and will have an appropriate organisation in
place to support it under the HR Director.
251. These arrangements include:
• Identification of what constitutes an organisational change;
• Description and categorisation of organisational change based on the potential
impact on the NNB GenCo NB (impact on roles/posts/IC status);
• Assessment, planning and success criteria of the organisational change;
• Consideration and Approval of the change through an NNB GenCo
Management of Change Committee chaired by the HR Director; and
• Post implementation assessment of the change and close out.
252. The arrangements once implemented will consider the cumulative effect of changes on
the organisation and identify any mitigation necessary.
253. Applying organisational change in this way will ensure changes are fully assessed to
ensure NNB GenCo remains a competent licensee, justified and the NB is appropriately
maintained by keeping a record of organisational changes.

5.3 Design Authority


254. The DA reports through to the Project Director HPC.
255. The DA is responsible for reviewing and accepting the design of the UK EPR, the
control of modifications process and the development of the safety cases. The DA
provides an integrated design authority capability calling on expertise within itself or
through others in the NNB GenCo such as the Environment team.
256. EDF SA has a large, existing organisation and capability to support the design,
engineering and safety case of the UK EPR. NNB GenCo will appoint EDF SA as the
AE and RD, and ensure the requirements of HSE guidance on the design authority [Ref
6] are met.
257. The NNB GenCo DA already has IC capability in place for the RD relationship for the
current lifecycle. This will continue to be reviewed and increase as the organisation and
project develops.
258. The NNB GenCo DA has responsibility for the production and ownership of safety and
environmental documentation for HPC. Production of safety documentation for HPC will
be managed by the DA, supported by EDF SA.
259. Independent Technical Assessment (ITA) of safety documentation will be undertaken by
the DA team with external support from other parts of the business and contract
expertise if necessary. As the project evolves, NNB GenCo will increase its involvement
in producing safety submissions. As the DA becomes more involved in production of
such documents it may become harder to ensure a reasonable level of independence
between production / review and ITA inside the same entity. ITA of safety
documentation for commissioning (and beyond) will be undertaken by a different team
located within the Safety Directorate with support from within the business where
appropriate.
260. NNB GenCo through the DA, has sufficient capability and knowledge of the reactor
design, safety and environment case for the current phase. This capability, knowledge
and ownership will grow through recruitment and through experience in the lifecycle of

Page 48 of 58
NNB GenCo – Company Document NNB-OSL-REP-000054
Management Prospectus

the project through design, construction, commissioning and operation, and working
with EDF SA.

5.4 Organisational Learning


261. Responsibility for Organisational Learning rests with the Safety Director.
262. Organisational learning is accepted by NNB GenCo as an integral, key part of a
successful nuclear safety culture and management system. It is a combination of the
processes to facilitate learning and the attitudes and behaviours of individuals and of
the organisation.
263. A suitable arrangement and organisation are in place proportionate to the Pre-
Construction phase of the project including:
• Identification of Operational Experience (OPEX) and ensure due consideration
by the NNB GenCo Board and Committees;
• Procedure and Training for Organisational Learning (Including incident
management, reporting, investigation and corrective action);
• Operational experience from learning reports, analysis and communications
plans in place for sharing experience and learning (along with any
recommendations therein); and
• Established NNB GenCo links to national and international learning forums.
264. Organisational Learning in NNB GenCo covers safety, environment, health and security.
265. NNB GenCo will identify, communicate and where appropriate, make recommendations
and implement them to ensure lessons are learnt.
266. NNB GenCo will review and update the arrangements for Organisational Learning as
the project and organisation progresses through the phases of construction,
commissioning, operation and decommissioning.

5.5 Knowledge Management


267. Knowledge Management (KM) is an important part of the NNB GenCo approach to
developing the organisation and closely linked to Organisational Learning and Safety
Culture. NNB GenCo is building the knowledge to be able to be in control of design,
construction, commissioning and ultimately operation. NNB GenCo’s approach on
Knowledge Management is to:
• Develop the overall KM process for NNB GenCo;
• Identify the KM needs of the organisation;
• Implement the process for the receipt, storage, management and preservation
of knowledge within NNB GenCo; and
• Set up the process for disseminating information and knowledge throughout
NNB GenCo, suppliers and contractors.
268. This approach on KM is being applied initially in the NNB GenCo DA and then across
the Company. Responsibility for knowledge management rests with the Project Director
HPC.

Management Prospectus

5.6 Intelligent Customer Capability


269. NNB GenCo recognises the importance of being an IC for any services it procures or
receives. This is particularly so given the key AE and RD relationship with EDF SA.
Responsibility for IC rests with the Project Director HPC
270. NNB GenCo’s approach to IC applied through the procurement procedures follows six
basic steps:
• “Make or Buy” decision;
• Defining the nuclear safety significance of the work;
• Specifying the work;
• Assessing and selecting the contractor;
• Oversight of work in progress; and
• Accepting completed work.
271. This will be applied throughout the business in areas such as:
• Procurement and Contract Management;
• Design review and acceptance, Design Change;
• Non conformance and manufacturing surveillance;
• Construction surveillance and field changes; and
• Plant acceptance and handover.
272. Safety and Environmental IC roles within the NNB GenCo organisation are specifically
identified within the NB. Role and training profiles will be fully implemented (prior to NSL
granting) for those IC roles to ensure capability across the organisation and ensure it is
appropriately applied.

Management Prospectus

6 FORWARD WORK PLAN


273. This MP and the associated NB explain the Company structure, processes and
capability required and show how safety, security and environmental protection are
managed within NNB GenCo.
274. The MP and NB will be revised in line with the Forward Work Plan (FWP) [Ref 19] to
ensure they are kept up to date.
275. As the Hinkley Point C organisation progresses, the MP will then be updated in line with
the FWP to reflect the organisation, its activities through construction, commissioning
and operation. The next update will be prior to granting of the NSL.
276. Updating the MP in this way will ensure that the development of the organisation and its
systems is appropriate and that the MP remains a ‘live’ document for the management
of the safety, security, quality and environmental aspects of the Company’s operations.
277. The FWP also describes when the procedures, arrangements and organisation will be
reviewed or changed going forward up to operation.

7 CONCLUSION
278. The Management Prospectus (MP) demonstrates that NNB GenCo is a capable and
competent applicant for a Nuclear Site Licence (NSL) and operational environmental
permits for Hinkley Point C. In producing the NNB GenCo MP the following key
documents were considered:
• Function and content of a safety management prospectus (HSE internal guidance
T/AST/072 – Issue 1);
• Guidance on the Production and Use of an Integrated Management Prospectus –
Guidance Note – Radioactive Substances Regulation – HSE and Environment
Agency;
• The licensing of nuclear installations, HSE;
• HSE – NSD Safety Assessment Principles for Nuclear Facilities 2006 Edition,
Revision 1;
• Radioactive Substances Regulation: Management Arrangements at Nuclear Sites
- Version 2 - Environment Agency;
• Radioactive Substances Regulation - Environmental Principles - Version 2 -
Environment Agency.
279. The MP describes the organisational structure, governance and approach to ensuring
the delivery of Safety within NNB GenCo. This MP forms part of the NSL
application dossier and RSR permit application.
