Oral Track 15: Financing, Cost & Economic Appraisals and Contracting Approaches for SMR Projects

Speaker

George Borovas (Hunton Andrews Kurth)

Description

Successful completion of a nuclear project, requires not only a competitive design, but a right project management strategy and its early prioritization. While it is natural for technology developers to prioritize research, development, and, perhaps, even testing of their design, accounting for certain “implementation” variables early in the process would lead to more realistic evaluation of both project financing and duration. From the decades building and operating nuclear power plants - and complex, expensive, and long-term projects in other industries - we can distill the “implementation” variables that should be incorporated into development of the overall project management strategy. The presentation will identify some of these variables from previous nuclear power projects, analyze how they may influence deployment of advanced reactor technologies, and suggest what technology vendors and customers/owners can do to minimize the risk that such variables may carry for the success of a project.
