Yes

No

Ensure that the project team for the first nuclear power plant has expertise in the industrial involvement needed for the nuclear power programme

Prospective owner/operator

Decide upon the scope of supply of the EPC contract given the localization strategy and capabilities of local industrial organizations as well as technology transfer goals and objectives

Prospective owner/operator

Continue dialogue with potential suppliers, including distributing draft BISs to qualified bidders for comment before they are officially issued to bidders

Of particular interest to industrial involvement are provisions and incentives in the draft document with regard to the involvement of local suppliers in construction, erection and commissioning, including local manufacture of SSCs that can meet project quality standards and budget and schedule constraints

Prospective owner/operator

Continue government–government dialogue with the countries of origin of potential suppliers, leading to formal memoranda of understanding on industrial and governmental support to be provided during Phases 2 and 3

NEPIO and cognizant ministries and agencies

NEPIO and prospective owner/operator

Determine which incentives, if any, will be included in the EPC contract regarding preferences for local suppliers

NEPIO and prospective owner/operator

Establish comprehensive legislation that covers safety, security, safeguards and nuclear liability, licensing and environmental impact assessment that need to be included in the bid package

Cognizant government ministries and agencies

Establish that regulations for licensing the nuclear power plant are in place such that they can be included in the bid package for the EPC contract (detailed regulatory requirements to be developed once a supplier is selected)

NRB (with owner/operator and other affected parties to provide comments)

Establish EPC contractor requirements for technology transfer, including intellectual property identified for inclusion in the bid package

Prospective owner/operator

Identify a management system for construction and commissioning and plant operation (overall framework, not detailed codes and standards for nuclear specific SSCs)

Prospective owner/operator

Ensure that the bid package includes (in the bidding process) requirements for suppliers to provide plans in their bids for transition to national and local suppliers during the plant operation phase and also for plants after the first nuclear power plant unit

Prospective owner/operator

Conduct audits and assist visits to local industrial organizations to monitor their progress in preparing to be partners in the nuclear power programme

Prospective owner/operator

Develop an approved local vendor/supplier list for inclusion in the BISs

Prospective owner/operator

Include provisions in the bid package for suppliers to substitute foreign supplied items in case supply problems will have significant impacts on costs or schedule

Prospective owner/operator

Note: BIS — bid invitation specification; EPC — engineering, procurement and construction; NEPIO — nuclear energy programme implementing organization; NRB — nuclear regulatory body; SSCs — structures, systems and components

Prospective owner/operator

Establish a supply chain for industrial involvement for the nuclear power plant project

Prospective owner/operator and EPC contractor/subcontractors

Implement government–government support with country of origin of the EPC contractor

Cognizant government ministries and agencies

Establish the qualification and selection of local industrial organizations for construction and erection contracts

EPC contractor with support from prospective owner/operator

Provide vocational training to upgrade local labour force competencies, where needed, to meet nuclear standards

Vocational training organizations and EPC contractor
