We Maintain Real-World Staffing And Organizational Databases To Apply As A Baseline For New Nuclear • Goodnight Consulting, Inc. maintains detailed proprietary databases including information from GOODNIGHT 74 nuclear plants in 6 countries CONSULTING STAFFING DATABASE • These databases include staffing on a functional 126 Operating Units 74 NUCLEAR PLANTS 74 NUCLEAR PLANTS level: level: 7 3-Unit or 4-Unit Plants 33 Dual-Unit Plants � Utility/Company site employees 34 Single-Unit Plants � Utility/Company corporate employees STAFFING DATA MAINTAINED � Contractor/Vendor employees/Full-Time INDEPENDENT OF ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE Equivalents (FTEs) • We also maintain an extensive library of detailed G C nuclear power company organization charts May 30-31, 2011 4
We Have Developed Staffing Models or Staffing Benchmarks For Most Commercial Reactor Designs • Our key staff members all have over 20 years of experience in the nuclear power industry, and we have developed staffing models or benchmarks for the most common operating commercial nuclear plants: − Light Water Reactors � Westinghouse PWRs (2-loop, 3-loop, and 4-loop models) � Atomstroyexport VVER-1000 � KHNP PWR (APR-1400) � GE BWRs (BRW-4s and BWR-6s) − Heavy Water Reactors � CANDU G C May 30-31, 2011 5
Goodnight Consulting Has Also Developed Detailed Staffing Models For New Nuclear Plants • Under separate contracts to Westinghouse (AP1000) and Areva (EPR), we have developed proprietary models: � Multi-Unit Staffing Models For Steady State Operations � Staffing ramp-up curves, for each functional area � Staffing ramp-up curves, for each functional area � Refueling outage duration and cost estimates � Comparative Staffing ����������������������������� Comparative Staff/MWe 1-Unit 2-Units 3-Units -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 Years Before Commercial Operations G C 0 1500 3000 4500 Plant Size (MWe) May 30-31, 2011 6

In An NPP’s Life Cycle, Labor May Be Largest Single Cost Area – And Must Be Carefully Considered • Most companies considering construction of new nuclear power plants focus on the initial construction costs (i.e. cost/installed kw, expected to be a several Billion USD), however total labor costs may be a much larger value • In the USA, fully burdened labor costs are ~$100,000 per person • Thus, every 100 people: $10 M/year • Thus, every 100 people: $10 M/year Present Value of 60 Year Labor Costs Present Value of 60 Year Labor Costs Present Value of 60 Year Labor Costs Present Value of 60 Year Labor Costs $7 $7 Labor $(Billions)/100 People Labor $(Billions)/100 People At 6% Inflation, 60 Year Labor At 6% Inflation, 60 Year Labor • Assuming a 60 year lifecycle for $6 $6 Costs Exceed $6 Billion Costs Exceed $6 Billion $5 $5 new plants and a 4.5% average $4 $4 inflation rate, every 100 personnel $3 $3 will cost over $2.5 Billion $2 $2 At 4% Inflation, 60 Year At 4% Inflation, 60 Year Labor Costs Exceed Labor Costs Exceed $1 $1 $2.5 Billion $2.5 Billion • In this cost model, 1,000 personnel $0 $0 0% 0% 1% 1% 2% 2% 3% 3% 4% 4% 5% 5% 6% 6% will require over $25 Billion over Inflation Rate Inflation Rate a 60 year operational life cycle G C May 30-31, 2011 8
Each Phase of An NPP’s Life Cycle Is Unique, and Requires A Different Staffing Model • The NPP Life Cycle can be divided into eight phases: 1. Plant Design Selection 2. Site Selection 3. Plant Licensing 4. Construction 5. Start Up/Testing 5. Start Up/Testing 6. Commercial Operations 7. Shut Down/Safe Store 8. Decommissioning • Each life cycle phase should be examined at the level of job functions required during that time window G C May 30-31, 2011 9
The Many Activities At An NPP Can Be Grouped Into 9 Process Areas With 43 Job Functions NPP Process Areas & Job Functions Operate the Plant Maintenance Supply Chain Support Services • • • • Chemistry Maint/Construction Contracts Admin/Clerical • • • • Environmental Maint/Constr Support Materials Management Budget/Accounting • Operations • Purchasing/Contracts • Communications • • • Operations Support Warehouse Document Control Engineering & • Facilities Technical Support • • Human Resources Human Resources Work Management Safety • Computer Engr • Info Systems • • Design Engr Outage Management • • Management Emergency Planning • • Project Management Design/ Drafting • • Management Support Fire Protection • • Scheduling Nuclear Fuels • • Safety/Health Training • Procurement Engr • Security • Quality Control Radiation Protection • Reactor Engr Regulatory Compliance • Systems/ Field Engr • ALARA • Licensing • Technical Engr • Radwaste/Decon • Nuclear Safety Review • HP Applied • Quality Assurance • HP Support G C May 30-31, 2011 10
Many Job Functions Are Only Active During Certain Phases of The NPP’s Life Cycle 1. Plant Design Selection: 17/43, 40% 2. Site Selection: 13/43, 30% 3. Plant Licensing: 28/43, 65% 4. 4. Construction: 37/43, 86% Construction: 37/43, 86% 5. Start Up/Testing: 42/43, 98% 6. Commercial Operations: 43/43, 100% 7. Shut Down/Safe Store: 34/43, 79% 8. Decommissioning: 30/43, 70% G C May 30-31, 2011 11
Using Current U.S. Based Staffing Models, High-Level Estimates Include ~840 Personnel During Operations • The staffing estimates shown here are based on current staffing models in the U.S. from Gen II NPPs, and are exclusive of: – Major contractor/vendor personnel, i.e. new NPP construction staff – Refueling outage support personnel G C May 30-31, 2011 12
During The Operational Phase Of The Plant Life Cycle, Several Key Issues Need To Be Addressed Relative To Staffing Requirements • National/local regulatory staffing environment – Oversight regulations – Reporting requirements – Licensing approach and frequency • Site size and design/layout of facilities – Total site footprint – Total site footprint – Location and relationship of buildings and infrastructure systems • Plant design – NSSS type – Safety systems – Design capacity • Plant equipment layout – Equipment accessibility G C – Size and locations of laydown space May 30-31, 2011 13
