Training Course on the Funding and Economic Aspects of a New Nuclear Power Programme Hosted by the Government of France through the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) Paris, France 1 5 October 2018 Ref. No.: EVT1703196 Information Sheet Background The development of a nuclear power programme is a major undertaking requiring careful planning and preparation. A decision to embark on a nuclear power programme should be based upon a welldefined and knowledgeable national position, founded, among other considerations, on sound energy planning. Establishment of the national position provides the foundation for the future development and implementation of the nuclear power programme. Most importantly, a national position provides a credible answer to the question of why nuclear power is being chosen, while taking into account the results of long-term energy planning and national priorities, such as energy security, pollution mitigation, including the mitigation of greenhouse gases, and industrial and economic development. At the beginning of the process of building a national position, the Nuclear Energy Programme
Page 2 Implementing Organization (NEPIO) should prepare a case with sound arguments as input to the national decision process. The following IAEA publications provide relevant information to Member States that are embarking on the use of nuclear power for the first time and building their national position: Responsibilities and Capabilities of a Nuclear Energy Programme Implementing Organization (IAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-T-3.6, IAEA, Vienna, under revision); and Building a National Position for a New Nuclear Power Programme (IAEA Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-T-3.14, IAEA, Vienna, 2016). Objectives The main purpose of the event is to give a full view of the costs and benefits of a nuclear power programme and to give participants from embarking and expanding countries the fundamentals of nuclear economics to help them build a national position. The event will also provide an opportunity to simulate the effect of various parameters on the competitiveness of a nuclear power programme through interactive exercises and the use of a tool that participants could further use in their home countries. The event includes a visit to a nuclear power plant and an opportunity to talk to stakeholders who live in the vicinity of the nuclear facility. Participation The event is open to participants from Member States that are considering, planning or implementing a nuclear power programme for the first time and from Member States considering or expanding their nuclear power capacity. Prospective participants should be from government departments or NEPIOs in direct contact with decision makers in Government who are looking for tools and knowledge to build a compelling case for their nuclear power programmes. Topics and Format The event will consist of presentations, question and answer panel sessions and sessions with interactive exercises. Topics to be discussed during the event include: Macroeconomics of a nuclear power project: programme, externalities, convergence of interests, and elements to support decision making; The industrial project in space and time: planning and local dimension; The nuclear infrastructure for nuclear power in the economics of the project; and Model and tools for funding and financing.

Administrative and Financial Arrangements The costs of the event are to be borne by the IAEA; no registration fee will be charged to participants. Travel and subsistence expenses of participants will not be borne by the IAEA. Limited funds are, however, available to help cover the costs of participants from certain countries. Such assistance can be offered, upon specific request, to one or two participants per country provided that, in the IAEA s view, the participant(s) on whose behalf assistance is requested will make an important contribution to the meeting and that, where assistance is requested for two participants, they represent different national organizations. The application for financial support should be made at the time of designating the participant(s). The organizers of the meeting do not accept liability for the payment of any costs or compensation that may arise from damage to or loss of personal property, or from illness, injury, disability or death of a participant while he/she is travelling to and from or attending the meeting, and it is clearly understood that each Government, in designating participants, undertakes responsibility for such coverage. Governments would be well advised to take out insurance against these risks. Application Procedure Designations should be submitted using the attached Participation Form (Form A). Completed forms should be endorsed by the competent national authority (e.g. Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Permanent Mission to the IAEA or National Atomic Energy Authority) and returned through the established official channels. Completed forms must be received by the IAEA not later than 24 August 2018. Designations received after that date or applications sent directly by individuals or by private institutions cannot be considered. Designating Governments will be informed in due course of the names of the selected candidates and at that time full details will be given of the procedures to be followed with regard to administrative and financial matters. Visas Designated participants who require a visa to enter France should submit the necessary application to the nearest diplomatic or consular representative of France as soon as possible. Local Arrangements The meeting will be hosted by Electricité de France (EDF) and will be held at Tour PB6, 20 place de la Défense, 92050 Paris La Défense in France.
