AREVA

: Steps towards a global leadership in the energy industry

Within 5 years, AREVA has established itself in the international energy market as a leader in nuclear technology April 2006 New name, clear structure

To underline this develop ment, the Board of Directors decided to structure the AREVA group into AREVA NP, AREVA NC and AREVA T&D AREVA NP

I&C modernization: What are the specific arguments?

To keep up with rapid development of technologies

Original systems become outdated

Increasing cost to guarantee for spare parts and adequate service

Modern digital technology has key advantages

It reduces time and cost for diagnostics and tests

It offers more flexibility for plants operation

It contributes to cost optimization

Long term supply for modern systems assured AREVA NP

New Challenges:

 After successful completion of several mutual projects AREVA aims to cooperate as a partner of Atomstroyexport in the Belene NPP  AREVA offered supplies are mainly related to safety measures, I&C, electrical systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning  Currently, AREVA cooperates with Atomstroyexport in the new VVER of Tianwan 1+2 with a comparable scope of supplies  AREVA ´s participation in Belene will facilitate public and political (EU) acceptance and support to reach Bulgaria ´s ecological and economical targets
