PRESIDENT
OF SPANISH
INDUSTRY
FORUM
Throughout the development of the nuclear programme in
our country, the participation of the Spanish nuclear
industry has grown to the point where it is capable of
supplying about 85% of everything needed for the
construction and start up of a nuclear power plant.
However, the change in the orientation of the Spanish
energy programme with the nuclear moratorium in 1984,
meant that the companies in the sector had to expand
internationally to maintain their capacities and their activity.
Thirty years later we can see that this decision has made
it possible for the Spanish nuclear industry to become a
solvent, qualified and prestigious industry which has
contributed to the improvement and updating of the
Spanish nuclear power plants in operation, a niche of
industrial activity, generating qualified employment and is a
source of international prestige and the creator of a country
brand.
Nowadays we are capable of better evaluating how the
growth of the sector as a whole and the diversity of its
technological references, decided at the beginning of the
Spanish nuclear programme, have become a factor of
wealth and versatility, as we can now work successfully
with different technologies, with a presence in all of the
nuclear cycle: construction, fuel, maintenance, operation,
training, supply of equipment and components, new
developments, R+D, waste management and
decommissioning.
The existence of an association, the Spanish Nuclear
Industry Forum, which comprises all of the agents in the
nuclear industry contributes towards a coherent and
coordinated public and institutional presence in defence
of the common interests of the sector. In this area, the
commitment to supporting the internationalization of our
industry is a basic strategic line for the coming years.
Nuclear Forum supports the presence of our companies abroad by participating in conferences, exhibitions,
technical workshops, commercial missions and business
meetings in collaboration with ICEX Spain, Exportation and
Investments. In the last two years, this work has
increased and commercial collaboration initiatives are currently scheduled with Saudi Arabia, Brazil, China, France,
India, Mexico, United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom.
For all of these reasons, the companies from the Spanish
nuclear industry that are presented herein are the best
example and living proof that nuclear technology is not only
preserved but is continuing to be developed in Spain, in
order to support the nuclear power plants that are
currently in operation and to attend an ever growing
international nuclear market.
SPANISH NUCLEAR INDUSTRY FORUM
In Spain, nuclear energy has represented approximately 20%
of the total production of electricity in recent years. On a world
scale, nuclear generation represents almost 15% with near to 440
reactors in operation in more than 30 countries and more than 70
reactors in construction in 16 countries.
These data have meant that a large number of Spanish companies
have focused their activity in the nuclear sector, based on the
experience of their participation in the development of the Spanish
nuclear programme since its beginnings and are present in the
whole chain of value.
All of this industrial structure has evolved with the circumstances
of each moment, incorporating new technologies adapted to
current needs and requisites and making it possible that Spanish
companies are present today in nuclear projects in more than 40
countries, in four of the five continents.
generation systems for the nuclear power plants that were built
after that. This was due to the fact that, at the beginning of the
Spanish nuclear programme, the decision was made not to
constitute a company of systems linked by license to a foreign
supplier, which would have meant having to choose a single type of
reactor.
They currently provide support services to nuclear sites in
operation and maintenance in more than 20 countries, such as
for example, Germany, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Slovakia,
Slovenia, United States, Finland, France, India, Japan, Mexico,
United Kingdom, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, etc.
These companies work through agreements with Spanish
companies with which they have developed strong technological
links. This has led to as framework of mutual benefit, through
which the Spanish industry has been able to participate in the
development of nuclear projects all over the world.
Our industry also participates in international research
and development projects for advanced nuclear reactors,
in programmes based on nuclear fusion, such as the ITER
International Project and in programmes based on high energy
physics.
The electrical companies focus their main activity on the
production, transportation, distribution and commercialisation of
electricity. However, the objective of these companies is to work
permanently towards excellence in the management of nuclear
power plants, with a commitment to long term production in a safe

Since the construction of the first nuclear power
plant they have extended their actions to the study of
the optimization of the performance, maintenance,
management of improvements in equipment and
procedures, management of the fuel cycle and the
development of new reactors.
The Spanish electrical companies are capable of
participating in an efficient manner in international
markets undergoing a process of growing integration,
globalisation and increase in competition.
The design, manufacture and supply of fuel to Spanish
and international nuclear power plants is made by the
public capital company ENUSA Industrias Avanzadas
and is responsible for the supply of raw materials and
their processing right through to the final elaboration
of the product. It is the owner and operator of the fuel
elements factory in Juzbado (Salamanca), one of the
most innovative in Europe which, since the start of its
operation in 1985, has manufactured more than 17,000
fuel elements for both Spanish and foreign nuclear
power plants. In recent years, it had had significant
international growth with more than 65% of its
production going overseas.
The manufacture of capital equipment is made by
Spanish companies who cover the production of main
equipment to turbine alternators, valves, cranes, piping,
boilers or equipment for handling the storage of fuel for
both Spanish and foreign nuclear power plants, with a
recognized level of quality. At present more than 80% of
their annual production is exported.
At present, the whole portfolio of orders for the supply
of large components as well as a high percentage of the
rest of components of this group of companies is for
exports.
The Spanish engineering and services companies have
created an important engineering capacity for nuclear
power plants, providing support in the management
of the construction of new plants and in the operation
and maintenance of the plants in operation, with a very
diversified activity in which they export more than 60%
of their annual production and in some cases up to
100%.
These companies have developed very specialised
services such as the supply of simulators, training
programmes for operators, in service inspection and
the development of support and improvement systems
in production. Their clients include all of the Spanish
nuclear companies and a large number of foreign
entities.
Some of these companies have laboratories for radiological
analysis which offer an integral service that responds to all the
needs of the sector and which are focused on the efficient and
sustainable management of their activities.
Radwaste management in Spain is carried out by the National
Radwaste Company, ENRESA. It is a public company and is an
important international reference and example as its activities are
studied and monitored by more than 15 countries around the world
who have visited our site.
Very low, low and medium activity radwaste from nuclear sites,
hospitals research centres and industry is managed in the Storage
Centre in El Cabril, located in the province of Cordoba.
The fuel used in the nuclear power plants is kept in the onsite
pools or in some cases, such as Trillo, Asco or Jose Cabrera, in the
Individual Temporary Storage Facilities, located onsite, until the
Centralised Temporary Storage Facility which is being built in the
town of Villar de Cañas (Cuenca) is finished.
Among its activities it is also responsible for decommissioning
nuclear and radioactive sites and was a pioneer in the
decommissioning of the nuclear power plants of Vandellos I and
Jose Cabrera.
Spanish Nuclear Industry Forum (Foro Nuclear) is a non-profit
association which defends the pacific applications of nuclear
energy and covers all of these companies and supports them in all
the activities that they require.
Through their four phases of action, Support to the Industry,
Technical Support, Communication and Education and Training
it attends to the needs of the companies in the Spanish nuclear
sector, at both a national and an international level.
Recently, Foro Nuclear and its associated companies have become
part of “Brand Spain”, a recognition and prestige for the numerous
companies in the nuclear sector which have extensive activities
beyond our frontiers.
In the area of Support to the Industry, Foro Nuclear coordinates
the activities of the industry in different scenes, such as the
participation in exhibitions with grouped pavilions, the organisation
of business meetings among companies from different countries,
the coordination of technical workshops in events of interest, etc.
The figures of the activity of our nuclear industry and the degree
of internationalisation of their companies are the best proof
of the competitiveness of the sector and the capacity of our
professionals. At present the nuclear sector is a consolidated,
prestigious industry that generates wealth and employment.
For all of these activities it has the support of both national and
international entities and institutions which gives it a greater
diffusion and the possibility of reaching other companies that are
not members of the Association.
The aim of the catalogue of the Spanish nuclear industry is to
reflect the reality of an open and dynamic sector in a growing
international market.
Thanks to a collaboration agreement signed with ICEX Spain,
Trade and Investment, Foro Nuclear is recognised as an agent
responsible for providing services, in the name and representation
of the entity, for the internationalisation of the nuclear sector
companies, in the area of the management of aid relating to the
promotion of internationalisation.
Through specific agreements with the commercial offices in
Spain of those countries that are of interest for the companies
in the nuclear sector, Foro Nuclear organises bilateral business
meetings which make it possible to know the capacities of
the participating companies and open up the possibility for
collaboration among them, both in the countries that organise the
meeting and in third countries.

Services, Products and
Technologies available
The GE and Hitachi alliance is recognized
as the world’s foremost developer of boiling
water reactors, robust fuel cycle products
and highly valued nuclear plant services.
In the midle of the 1950s, GE developed
breakthrough light water technology with
the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR). Since
that time, GE has developed nine evolutions
of BWR technology including the (ABWR)
Advanced Boiling water Reactor, the world’s
first operational Generation III Class
design. And, most recently, the ESBWR,
our latest Generation III+ Class design
that combines advanced safety features,
improved economics, and new operational
efficiencies.
Nuclear POWER Plant Projects
Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR)
The ABWR is the world’s first and only
Generation III nuclear plant design in
operation today, providing the benefit of a
combined 25 reactor-years of operational
experience. GE’s first ABWR began
commercial operation at KashiwazakiKariwa in Japan, in 1996.
Currently three additional ABWRs are
operating in Japan, two under construction
in Japan, and two in Taiwan. The ABWR is
licensed in the U.S., Japan and Taiwan.
Economic and Simplified Boiling Water
Reactor (ESBWR)
The is a GEH-designed Generation III+
reactor currently in the U.S. Design
Certification process. This simplified
design provides improved safety, excellent
economics ratio, better plant security,
a broad seismic design envelope and
operational flexibility that increase plant
availability. It is a simplified reactor design,
allowing faster construction and lower
operating costs.
Power Reactor Innovative Small Modular
(PRISM)
The PRISM is a reactor that uses liquid
sodium as a coolant. This coolant allows
the neutrons in the reactor to have a higher
energy (sometimes called fast-reactors)
that drive fission of the transuranics,
converting them into short-lived “fission
products.” This reaction produces heat
energy, which is converted into electrical
energy in a conventional steam turbine.
Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF)
GNF is a world-leading supplier of boiling
water reactor fuel, including uranium
dioxide and MOX fuel and fuel-related
engineering services. GNF operates
primarily through Global Nuclear FuelAmericas, LLC in Wilmington, N.C., and

it has developed strong technology links.
This has led to a framework of mutual
benefits through which the Spanish industry
has been able to participate with GEH
many projects throughout the world. The
alliances with the following companies are
particularly noteworthy:
3,000 employees
Empresarios Agrupados has collaborated
with GEH in proposals and projects for new
plants in several countries, with a wide
range of scopes and has been the main
project engineering firm for the Cofrentes
and Valdecaballeros plants. They also
participated in the certification efforts for
the new ABWR and ESBWR designs.
As regard nuclear fuel, links with ENUSA
date back to 1974 and since that time
some 9,000 GEH design fuel assemblies
have been manufactured for 13 BWR
reactors in Europe. Since 1996, GEH has
been commercializing Fuel and associated
services for Europe through the Spanish
company GENUSA, held jointly by GNFA and
ENUSA.
more than 25 nuclear plants worldwide and
in the design of Man-Machine interfaces for
certain new reactor designs.
This high degree of participation by the
national nuclear industry at world level
should be valued especially in view of
the fact that GEH has access to a wide
range of partners and suppliers on the
five continents. This is clear indication of
the capacities and competitiveness of the

In 1998, as a result of a merger between
the companies that independently managed
the Ascó and Vandellós II nuclear power
plants, an economic interest group known
as Asociación Nuclear Ascó-Vandellós
II (ANAV) was born. The rather similar
technologies of both plants, and their
relatively close locations, led their owner
utilities to integrate them into a common
management company.
ANAV’s work is committed to the safe,
reliable, long lasting and environmentfriendly operation of the Ascó and
Vandellós II to produce electric energy, an
essential element for economic and social
development.
This commitment is embodied both in
the Group’s investments on the Plants
to guarantee their safe and long term
operation, and in direct actions on the
territory, with activities that promote
economic, social and cultural development
of the towns in the influence areas of both
Plants.

The staff working at the Ascó and
Vandellós II Nuclear Power Plants play
a major role in the daily routine of the
sites. With over 2,300 jobs shared among
staff from ANAV (45%) and from stable
cooperating companies, ANAV is a beacon
of economic growth not just for the province
of Tarragona but also for the whole of
Cataluña.
In this regard, recent studies conducted
by the Department of Economics of the
Rovira i Virgili University in Tarragona show
that the economic impact of the activities
of the ANAV sites and that of its staff
members multiply by four the generation
of wealth and jobs in Cataluña. This effect
is especially intense in the province of
Tarragona, where the direct, indirect and
induced impact of ANAV and its workers
represents approximately 3% of the
province’s Gross Domestic Product.
ASCÓ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
The Ascó Nuclear Power Plant is located
on the right bank of the Ebro River in the

In November 1999, the companies
that owned the Nuclear Power Plants
of Almaraz and Trillo constituted the
Economic Interest Group Almaraz-Trillo
Nuclear Power Plants (CNAT) for the
operation, management and integrated
administration of the two plants, without
changing their participations in the property
of each one of them.
ALMARAZ NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
With this decision, the owner companies
(Iberdrola Generación Nuclear, Endesa
Generación, Gas Natural SDG, Iberenergía
and Nuclenor) reinforced their commitment
to the safe and reliable operation of the
two plants and their confidence in nuclear
energy, in a diversified and environmentally
free sector.
The Group has a staff of 806 employees
(46.2% university graduates) distributed
in the headquarters in Madrid with 81
employees and the sites of Almaraz with
410 employees (43.7% university graduate)
and Trillo with 315 employees (41.9%
university graduates).
The Almaraz nuclear power plant is
located in the town of Almaraz (province
of Caceres). The land on which the plant
stands occupies a surface of 1,683 hectares.
It belongs to Iberdrola Generación Nuclear
(53%), Endesa Generación (36%) and Gas
Natural SDG (11%). Construction started in
1972 and 81% of all the construction and
assembly work was carried out by Spanish

In order to let the public know about the
reality of its activity, it has an Information
Centre which started to receive visits in
February 1977, four years before the plant
started its operation, allowing visitors to
have a more direct knowledge of what a
nuclear power plant is and how it works.
Since its opening the Information Centre
has received more than 650,000 visitors,
the equivalent of 60% of the population of

generator. This circuit is contained in the
containment area of the reactor building.
The steam from the generators is taken to
the turbine building. The cooling system is
a closed circuit with two natural draught
towers.
It started its commercial operation on 6th
August 1988. It is conceived to operate as
a base plant, that is, with uninterrupted
operation and guarantees an average
annual supply of 8,000 million kWh and
is the most modern plant in the Spanish

The authorisation for construction
was granted in 1975 and the plant was
connected to the national electricity grid
in October 1984. 2014 is the 30th year
of operation and since its origin it has
generated more than 230,000 million kWh.
throughout a year avoids approximately the
importation of 14 million barrels of petrol
and the emission to the atmosphere of 6.5
million Tm CO2.
The Cofrentes nuclear power plant is
currently one of the main electricity
production centres at a national level, with
a contribution in 2013 of 4.9% within the
ordinary regime. Within the Community
of Valencia where it is located it satisfies
about one third of the total demand for
electricity. As well as its activity as one of
the most important electricity producers in
the country, the Cofrentes nuclear power
plant carried out an intense and important
relationship with its social surroundings,
where the visits to the Information
Centre for learning centres and different
associations stand out, with an average of
4,000 visitors per year.
As an environmental contribution, the
uninterrupted operation of Cofrentes
Throughout 2013 the operation of the
Cofrentes nuclear power plant was normal,
without incidents worthy of mention. The
events reported to the regulatory body were
all level zero, below the INES scale, without
any significance for safety.
In 2013, the Cofrentes nuclear power plant
generated a total of 8,325.3 GWh, with the
reactor coupled to the electrical grid 7,801
hours in the year out of a possible 8,760
possible hours, considering the shutdown
time for the performance of the refuelling
outage which was 936 hours, equivalent to
39 days.
As a special fact worthy of mention in 2013
is the 19th refuelling outage which started
on 22nd September and finished on 31st
October, with a duration of 39 days during
which more than 14,000 maintenance
tasks and plant equipment and component
inspection and tests were carried out.
Last year Iberdrola invested 62 million
euro in the plant. Of these, 21 million were
targeted specifically at the refuelling outage
during which, among other activities, 49
design modifications were carried out.
These have helped to improve the site,
updating it with the latest technologies
thus providing an increase in its operating
efficiency and safety. For this outage 1345
professionals were contracted through a
hundred or so collaborating companies as
support for plant staff, 657 employees, 373
of them are from the Iberdrola staff.
The other 41 million euro were invested
in the modernisation and technological
adaptation of all the plant systems and
components.

guaranteeing safety as a priority element
in all of the activities of the company, in
order to guarantee the protection of people
and of the environment. The key elements
that make up Management Plan are the
People, the Organisation and the Site.
Their permanent interaction is essential in
achieving the objectives established.
Finally it is worth mentioning that in 2014
a team from (World Association of Nuclear
Operators) comprising international experts
from different nuclear power plants from
other countries will perform an examination
of the Plant known as Peer Review. In these
reviews, which are requested voluntarily,
the experts compare the plant activities to
the international standards of the nuclear
industry in order to identify areas that are
susceptible to improvement and strengths
of the sites evaluated in order to optimise
their performance and increase the levels
of operational safety.
The Plant has a Management Plan, which
has been revised with a horizon in 2018,
in order to guarantee an orderly action in
the most important areas for the correct
operation of the plant. This Plan currently
includes 69 projects grouped into the areas
of Excellence and Operational Safety;
Technological Update and Reliability;
Radiological Protection; Management
of Large Emergencies; Organisational

The Santa Maria de Garoña nuclear power
plant is located in the province of Burgos,
on the meander formed by the Ebro river
near the town with the same name in the
Valley of Tobalina, at the foot of the Sobron
dam.
During 2013, the Santa Maria de Garoña
nuclear power plant did not generate
electricity although it kept its technical and
organisational capacities intact. The reason
for this situation is of an economic nature,
not technical; the new nuclear taxation
approved at the end of 2012 makes the
continuity of the site economically unviable.
It is the property of Nuclenor S.A. (Iberdrola
50% and Endesa 50%) which started its
business activity in 1967 and was the
pioneer in Spain in the use of nuclear
energy for the generation of electricity.

EQUIPOS NUCLEARES, S.A.
Equipos Nucleares, S.A. (Ensa) was
established on 10th July 1973 with the
immediate purpose of meeting the
demands of the Spanish civil nuclear
manufacturing of large components. The
construction of the facility, located in
Maliaño (Cantabria), south of the bay of
Santander and very close to the city, was
performed during 1975 and 1976, when
the manufacturing operations of the first
equipment for the Spanish market started.
Especially conceived and designed for
the civil nuclear industry, Ensa got its
first ASME nuclear certification in 1978
delivering the first component, the reactor
vessel for Valdecaballeros Nuclear Power
Plant, in 1981.
In 1980, after the creation of the Business
Development & Field Services department,
Ensa started performing works at the
nuclear power plants such as installation,
commissioning, fuel management, plant
maintenance, decontamination and
dismantling. Since 1986 Ensa has a majority
ownership of ENWESA, a company mainly
dedicated to provide services at nuclear

started in the late eighties and now
accounts for over 90% of the manufacturing
equipment and over 50% of the service
provided to plants. Ensa is involved in
demanding markets such as Chinese,
French, U.S., Taiwan, Argentina, Slovakia,
Belgium, South Africa, etc. Currently, all
major equipment portfolio and equipment
being manufactured in Ensa have a
destination for the international market.
Focusing only on the NSSS (Nuclear Steam
Supply System) components, only three
of the thirty-seven major components
manufactured by Ensa until 1986 were
made for the international market, a
percentage lower than 10%. However,
this situation changed significantly in the
late eighties beginning a rapid increase in
exports. Twenty-six large equipment were
exported between 1988 and 1995. Although
the Spanish market demand, a priority for
Ensa, restarted in the mid-nineties due to
the need of replacement of components
in power plants in operation, only three
components of a total of eighty-eight have
been provided to this market since 1997.
This means that the internationalization

Project: Probabilistic non
linear SSI of a Nuclear Facility
Location: Villar de Cañas, Spain
The scope of our mission was to conduct
a seismic analysis of two of the main
units of the facility (Lot 2 and Lot 3). To
evaluate the seismic loads, DYNAMIS
performed probabilistic nonlinear soil
structure interaction analysis. In addition
to that, instead of using Fast Fourier
Transformation to calculate the response
due to transient motion, DYNAMIS used
a new approach based on the Random
Vibration Theory (RVT) to calculate
the statistical mean of the frequencydependent responses. In this approach,
input motion is specified as a mean
acceleration response spectrum at a
specified damping ratio.

NUCLEAR CONTEXT
After a low in the 1990s, recent years
have seen the worldwide nuclear industry
regain momentum and experience
important growth. However, the accident
at Fukushima damaged public opinion of
nuclear energy.
For all countries that produce or use
nuclear energy, it prompted a review of
safety policy, particularly risk management
practices. Since the accident, all
countries have reinforced their regulatory
frameworks, and created new rules or
updated standards and codes.

compared analysis of the fire development
and thermal calculation methodologies and
software: results and conclusions were very
similar. The same approach was performed
with success for mechanical calculations
with the Ukrainian institute URDISC.
Through different steps of validation by the
Ukrainian authorities, EFECTIS was able to
prove its scientific capabilities and knowhow in a specific and complex context.

follows the guidelines contained in the
General Radwaste Plan (PGRR) which is
approved periodically by the Government
and which is the public document that
establishes the strategies, actions and
technical solutions for the management
of radwaste in our country as well as its
economic and financial planning.
The financing system established, based on
collecting the future costs of management
in advance, guarantees that future
generations will not have to take on the
costs generated in the past. The financing
of radwaste management is independent of
the general state budgets.
The nuclear energy applications for the
production of electrical energy and the use
of radioactive chemical elements in the
field of medicine, industry and research
generate radwaste.
In 1984 the Spanish parliament decided to
create the National Radwaste Company
(ENRESA), as a public non-profit making
entity responsible for the management of
the radwaste produced in Spain.
Its main competences are: the collection,
transportation, treatment, storage
and control of the radwaste from
Spanish nuclear power plants and from
facilities that use radioactive materials,
the decommissioning of nuclear and
radioactive sites no longer in use and the
Nuclear power plants and sites, like some
hospitals, laboratories and industries,
are obliged to pay the costs of radwaste
management through the application of
specific duties.
For the very low, low and medium activity
waste the El Cabril site offers the definitive
solution for centralized storage.
Spent fuel from nuclear power plants
and high activity waste require another
type of facility: the Temporary Centralised
Storage facility which will be built in Villar
de Cañas (Cuenca) to give a solution to the
intermediate management of this type of
waste.
Its work centres are located in:
• Madrid, where the main office is located.
• El Cabril, in the province of Cordoba,
where the final management of very low,
low and medium radwaste takes place.
• The Vandellos I nuclear power plant,
in the province of Tarragona, which
ended its activity in 1989 and has been
decommissioned by ENRESA to level 2 in
the IAEA classification.
• The Jose Cabrera nuclear power plant,
in the province of Guadalajara, which was
shut down in 2006 and is currently in the
decommissioning phase.
• Villar de Cañas, in the province of Cuenca,
where the Temporary Centralised Storage
facility will be built.

EL CABRIL RADWASTE STORAGE CENTRE
This low and medium activity radwaste
storage centre belonging to the National
Radwaste Company (Enresa) started its
operation in October 1992 and is located
in the town of Hornachuelos, in Sierra
Albarrana, in the province of Cordoba.
El Cabril has two platforms for the storage
of low and medium activity radwaste and
another with specific structures for those
with a very low activity. The site also has
the necessary means for treating and
conditioning the waste that requires either
of these processes.
This centre is a surface type site which
stores the low and medium activity waste
in 28 concrete cells with a total capacity of
almost 50,000 m3. The specific structure
for the low activity waste started to operate
in El Cabril in 2008, providing an additional
capacity of 130,000 m3. The centre has
facilities for the treatment and conditioning
of waste by compacting, immobilization and
incineration.

The low and medium activity waste is
comprised of materials contaminated with
radioactive isotopes which will reduce their
radioactivity by half in less than 30 years.
The may be tools, work clothes, medical
instruments and other materials used
in some industries, hospitals, research
laboratories and nuclear power plants.
• For the low and medium activity waste
(RBMA), the system consists of positioning
the following barriers: waste conditioned in
a sold status, concrete container, concrete
storage cells and artificial and natural
covering .
The very low activity waste, within the
group of low and medium waste, which
have less requisites for their management
because of their low radioactive content,
are solid materials, generally scrap and
rubble, which are minimally contaminated
with radioactive isotopes. Most of this
waste comes from the decommissioning
of nuclear power plants and from
special interventions for the recovery of
contaminated land or installations.
The features of the El Cabril site are:
• Remote control: It is operated from a
control room, thus minimising the dose to
operators.
• Solidification: The waste is stored in
a solid form and therefore there are no
liquid effluents or gas leaks in the stored
material.
• Seismic resistance: Capable of
withstanding the largest earthquake
expected in the area.
• Recoverability: The waste storage
containers can be extracted, if required.
The storage system at El Cabril
It is based fundamentally on the positioning
of engineering barriers and natural barriers
which safely isolate the materials stored
in them for the time necessary for them to
become harmless substances.
There are two lines of management at El
Cabril according to the radiological features
of the waste:
• For the very low activity waste (RBBA), the
systems consist of positioning the following
barriers: waste conditioned in a sold status,
concrete storage cells comprising artificial
and natural covering layers.
In both cases and in order to guarantee the
correct performance of the barriers here are
infiltration and leaching control systems.
Radwaste management
The very low, low and medium activity waste
in any part of Spain arrive at El Cabril and
are unloaded into a conditioning building
or into one of the temporary storage units.
Most of it arrives conditioned although
the waste that comes from hospitals,
research centres o industries and special
interventions are treated and conditioned
onsite at El Cabril.
The drums received are introduced into
concrete structures whose capacity is 18 x
220 litre drums. When a container is full,
the drums are immobilized using injected
mortar. This compact block is introduced
into the storage cell, which is a reinforced
concrete structure.
Once the storage cell is complete with
320 containers the upper closing slab is
made with reinforced concrete and it is
waterproofed.
Each of the 28 storage cells has a sump
connected to the infiltration control network
located under the platforms. This makes
it possible to detect possible filtrations of
water which can be corrected if they appear.

Once the capacity of the platforms is
complete, they are covered with a final
covering of several layers, the last of which
is soil in an attempt to integrate them into
the environment.
At this time the monitoring and control
phase of the site begins. It will last 60 years
for very low activity waste and 300 years for
the low and medium activity waste.
Authority control
Enresa periodically sends official reports
and documents to different authorities
describing and specifying their activities:
• The Spanish Regulatory Body and the
General Directorate of Energy and Mines

audit is made by the Spanish Regulator
which is the competent authority in
matters of nuclear safety and radiological
protection.
• The transportation programme is
also sent to the General Directorate of
Civil Protection, to the Civil Guard, to
the Subdelegation of the Government in
Cordoba and to other responsible entities.
• Other entities, such as the town halls
in the area, the Regional Government of
Andalucia or the Regional Government of
Extremadura periodically receive reports
and summaries of activities and of the
radiological surveillance and environmental
plan.
No radiological influence from the activity
of the site has been detected in the
surrounding area since El Cabril started
operating.
Water, air, soil. food, fish, game and
vegetation samples are taken every
year in order to monitor the levels of
environmental radioactivity and to keep the
Regulator informed.
Enresa also performs internal and external
audits that check that the management
systems implemented at El Cabril are

Level 1: It defines the period immediately
after the final shutdown of a nuclear
power plant and covers the process of
leaving the plant in a safe condition for
the decommissioning work, removing the
spent fuel, the waste in operation and
those auxiliary buildings that are no longer
needed.
The decommissioning of a nuclear power
plant is a complex process which requires
the participation of several industrial
organisations. It is subjected to strict
regulation and includes strategic analyses
that specify the scope of the work in
each case. Spain has the technology and
sufficient resources to decommission
nuclear power plants in a completely safe
manner.
The field of closing site, Spain is in
an outstanding position within the
international panorama, thanks mainly to
the projects that have been completed in
the uranium concentrates factory (Andujar)
and the rehabilitation of old uranium mines
(La Haba) as well as those that are in the
decommissioning process: the Vandellos I
and Jose Cabrera power plants.
The decommissioning of a nuclear power
plant in Spain, which is financed with the
IPGRR Activities Financing Fund, is carried
out by Enresa and consists of a sequenced
set of technical actions to dismantle and
manage the waste resulting from the
structures, systems and components of a
nuclear or radioactive site after it is closed.
These actions are carried out in stages
which progressively reduce the radiological
risk at the site.
In accordance with the terminology used
by the IAEA, there are three levels in the
decommissioning process of nuclear power
plants:
Level 2: Its purpose is to dismantle the
buildings and plants outside the shielding.
The radwaste resulting from this is stored
offsite and the reactor is sealed.
Level 3: This includes the removal of the
nuclear reactor with its shielding and the
final rehabilitation of the site leaving a free
space.
The decommissioning process is generally
carried out using a remote control or
command system, according to the
associated level of radiological activity.
In any case, the presence of workers is
limited by the level of radiation and, when
necessary, a period of waiting is established
until the activity decreases to acceptable
levels for the work to be carried out in the
specific conditions established for it.
VANDELLÓS I NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Vandellos I began its operation in 1972 and
ceased its activity in 1989 after 17 years of
operation, due to the consequences of a fire
that significantly affected the conventional
buildings. The owner decided to close the
plant and decommission it given the high
cost of returning to activity, in compliance
with the requisites established by the
Spanish Nuclear Regulator (CSN).
On 30th June 2003 Enresa completed level
2 of the decommissioning process (which
made it possible to release a large part of
the plant site) and to continue with phase 3
which will be completed with the closing of
the reactor.
During 2004 the site was prepared for the
latency phase (with a duration of 25 years)
from the functional point of view and from
the structuring of the organisation and of
personnel.
Since then, and following the favourable
evaluation of the CSN on 15th December
2004, the site has had a license to remain
in a passive status, with the corresponding
monitoring to guarantee its safety,
storing certain radioactive materials and
guaranteeing the confinement of the
remaining structures. This will be in force
until the second stage of decommissioning
is initiated.
The latency period is a waiting period of
about 25 years which gives for a significant
reduction of the radiological levels. After
this, in 2028 the conditions for dismantling
the remaining structures, basically the
concrete structure of building that houses
the reactor will be more favourable. This
will become level 3 with the total release of
the site.
At the beginning of the latency period
Enresa built the Mestral Technological
Centre at the Vandellos I site. Its
purpose is to develop R+D projects on
Decommissioning Projects within Enresa’s
general R+D plan. Since it was built in 2004,
30 projects have been developed, mainly
in collaboration with the Rovira i Virgili
University in Tarragona.
The maintenance and surveillance work at
the plant consist of continuously monitoring
the physical parameters of temperature,
moisture and pressure inside the reactor
in a passive status and in the periodical
performance of watertightness tests on the
reactor and on the corrosion status of the
internal materials.

JOSÉ CABRERA NUCLEAR
POWER PLANT
The Jose Cabrera nuclear power plant
is located in Almonacid de Zorita
(Guadalajara) and was the first nuclear
power plant to start operation in our
country in 1968. After 38 years of operation
and following a Ministerial Order it ended
its activity on 30th April 2006.
During 2009, the spent fuel in the plant
pool was loaded, transferred and stored in
12 containers (Temporary Individualised
Storage).
On 11th February 2010, Enresa took over
the responsibility of the Jose Cabrera
nuclear power plant and since then has
been carrying out decommissioning and
decontamination work.
In 2012 the decommissioning of the
plant reached one of the most important
points in the Project: the opening of the
reactor vessel head and the start of the
segmentation of its internal components.
This segmentation work, which is
carried out under water and with robotic
mechanical cutting tools with the support
of a system of television cameras, started
with the so called upper internals and in
mid 2012 the segmentation of the lower
internals started.
During 2013 the fourth HI-SAFE container
for special waste was incorporated into
the Temporary Individualised Storage, thus
culminating the integral management of
all the internal components of the site’s
nuclear reactor.
In 2013 the process for the underwater
segmentation of the internals was also
completed and they were extracted,
prepared and sent to the waste storage
facility of El Cabril. Most of the parts
obtained were prepared in type CE 2a/
Together with this work, in 2013 the
activities to dismantle the rest of the large
components of the primary circuit, such
as the pressuriser the main pump and the
steam generator have continued.
This is the first time a decommissioning of
this nature has taken place in Spain. This
had made the work being carried out a
technical reference at an international level.
The decommissioning is scheduled to be
completed in 2017 and an average of 250
people were used in the different tasks.
Environmental restoration of uranium
concentrate manufacturing facilities
In parallel with the disappearance of
uranium mining, the sites dedicated to
the treatment of the material have also
been closed. At present there are none
in operation and Enresa has worked on
the decommissioning and environmental
restoration of: the uranium concentrates
factory in Andujar (FUA) in Jaen, the La
Haba plant in Badajoz and the Elefante
plant is Saelices el Chico (Salamanca).
These site are currently in the monitoring
phase as the decommissioning and
environmental restoration activities have
been completed.
ENVIROMENTAL RESTORATIONS
From the extraction of uranium in the field
to loading it as fuel in the nuclear power
plants the mineral passes through several
sites; uranium mine, concentrate factories
and fuel element factories. Enresa is
responsible for restoring these places once
the activity at them has been discontinued.
Environmental restoration of uranium
mines
In Spain uranium mining has existed
traditionally in Spain, specifically in the
deposits in Castilla y Leon, Extremadura
and Andalucia. This mining activity was
started in 1948 and finished in 2000 with the
closing of the last site in Salamanca.
Since 1997 Enresa has progressively

• Reception building. Metallic structure
where the vehicles transporting the waste
will arrive.
• Process building. A structure with
concrete walls where different mechanical
processes in two independent lines, one for
fuel and another for the rest of the waste.
Spain must continue to advance in the
management of spent fuel and high activity
radwaste just as it did previously with
low and medium activity radwaste. Some
pools at nuclear power plants are reaching
saturation and shortly the waste of this
type currently stored in France would have
to be brought back. At the end of 2004
Parliament encourage the Government
to start a project to build a Centralised
Temporary Storage facility (ATC) and on
29th December 2009 the Official State
Bulletin (BOE) published the beginning of
the selection process for the candidates
to house the facility and its associated
technological centre, On 20th January 2010
the BOE published that the town chosen
was Villar de Cañas (Cuenca).
The ATC is an industrial site designed to
store and monitor the irradiated fuel and
high activity radwaste that is produced in
Spain in a single place, without the need to
build a storage facility for each plant.
This decision reduces the number of
storage sites and also makes it possible
to comply with the repatriation clauses for
reprocessed spent fuel from abroad.
Managing radwaste using a site like this
is the solution adopted by most developed
countries as they have the necessary
proven technology that guarantees its safe
storage.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
The ATC is an industrial site authorised to
dry store the spent fuel that until now was
stored in pools at the power plants and
the high activity waste that is produced in
Spain for 60 years. The waste is prepared
and isolated in sealed capsules inside a
shielded concrete building.
The nuclear area will occupy a surface of 32
hectares and will be 398 metres long, 271
metres wide and 26 metres high. The walls
of the ATC will be 1.7 metres thick and the
air ducts for heat removal from the storage
buildings will be 45 metres above ground
level.
There will be five main areas which will
make it possible to complete the processes
required for the management of these
materials. The technology used guarantees
the confinement of the radioactive material
• Service and auxiliary systems building.
Concrete structure, a prolongation of the
previous building for auxiliary facilities
(personnel access, ventilation equipment,
electricity supply, etc).
• Storage modules. Each module
comprises two very thick concrete domes
with independent air inlets and outlets.
There are 120 storage tubes in each dome.
• Medium activity waste storage building.
It will store the waste which cannot be
stored at El Cabril in Cordoba.
One feature of the ATC is its reversibility, as
it includes the recovery of the waste for the
following stage of management once the
storage period has elapsed.
In order to be able to carry out these
functions safely, the absence of chain
reactions, the confinement of the
radioactive material, the shielding of the
radiation and decay heat removal were
applied as basic criteria in the design of the
site.
The spent fuel and radwaste that will
be stored in this site will be perfectly
inventoried as described in the General
Radwaste Plan which has been approved by
the Government.

placed vertically using a bridge crane and
then transferred on a trolley to the process
area where the first cover is removed and
a check is made to verify that they have not
lost their watertightness.
The second cover of the container is then
removed to be able to unload the spent
fuel. The fuel is then put into stainless steel
capsules in a hot shielded and remotely
operated cell and then transferred to the
storage tubers where they may be kept for
up to 60 years.
• 6,700 tons of spent fuel from the Spanish
nuclear power plants.
• 12 m3 of vitrified high activity waste
from the reprocessing of the fuel from the

A WORLD UNDISPUTABLE LEADERSHIP
SEOPAN, the Association of Infrastructure
Contractors and Concessionaires, was
founded in the year 1957 and actively
promotes infrastructure investment and
public/private partnerships as key elements
for Spanish competitiveness and growth.
In 2014 SEOPAN merged with ASETA,
and this way both associations unite their
efforts to take profit of synergies, enhance
members defense, enlarge its national
and international presence and gain
representativeness.
The new organization, chaired by the
president Julian Nuñez, acts with a single
voice on behalf of its 41 companies and
13 holdings dedicated to contraction and
operation of public infrastructures through
concessions, 8 of them are the stock
market. Together the companies have a
total turnover of 78.000 million €, they
manage 3.400 km of toll roads in Spain and
10.866 km abroad, with an employment of
433.000 workers.
business objective
Its objectives are the defense of common
interest of member companies towards
Public Administrations, institutions and civil
society, as well as the representation of
them all, both in Spain and abroad.
SEOPAN is a member of a wide range of
institutions as the National Employers
Confederation (CEOE), the National
Construction Confederation (CNC), AENOR,
the National Labour Foundation, the
European Construction Industry Federation
(FIEC), the European International
Contractors (EIC), Tunnel and Turnpike
Association (IBTTA), l’Association des
Sociétés Européennes de Concessionaires
d’Autoroutes et d’Ouvrages à péage
(ASECAP), among others.
Concerning labor and Ebitda, concessions
and services activity of member major
groups have a greater relevance than
construction itself, a situation which
is derived mainly from the clear world
leadership position of those companies in
the rankings published by the American
review Public Works Financing (PWF)
related to world transport infrastructures
under construction and/or operation since
1985.
Diversification and export activity, together
with high technological capability and high
financial soundness of those companies
places them as world leaders in transport
infrastructure concessions (roads, bridges,
tunnels, railways, harbours and airports)
by number of contracts under construction
and operation since 1985 until October 2013
with an investment of more than 50 million
US$. Among the top ten world leaders there
are four Spanish companies.
The Spanish companies belonging to
SEOPAN among the top ten are:
• ACS/Iridium.
