We have established a strong position in the civil nuclear sector for the provision of safety-critical equipment, systems and engineering services. Our rich heritage and expertise in nuclear capability mirrors the reputation for innovation, technical research and development, high integrity products, quality systems and manufacturing operations with a sustainable global supply chain. over in our 3000employees nuclear business Today, serves customers in 150 countries through its highly-skilled and diverse team which incorporates over 50 nationalities.

3 04 05 A bright future built on a strong heritage The civil nuclear market is undergoing worldwide expansion As the demand for energy grows worldwide, many nations are turning to nuclear power both to meet larger and more secure future capacity and to address climate change. is well positioned to help customers achieve their goals after half a century of continuous involvement at the forefront of nuclear innovation as technical authority for the UK Royal Navy s fleet of submarines and leading supplier of nuclear safety instrumentation and control systems for civil nuclear power plants in 20 countries. This long heritage has generated a wealth of skills and capabilities across the reactor lifecycle, encompassing concept, assessment, design, manufacture, through-life support and plant life-extension alongside extensive strategic supply chain experience. While the fortunes of nuclear power generation fluctuated according to political and social opinion, has consistently pushed the boundaries of nuclear development from the 1950s to the present day as propulsion supplier for the Royal Navy s successive fleets of nuclear-powered submarines. This role ensured we accumulated unrivalled experience in designing, developing, manufacturing, testing and supporting nuclear equipment always to the highest regulatory codes and standards. Such in-depth nuclear experience and know-how, integrating new build, instrumentation and control, nuclear services and safety, licensing and environmental engineering activities, ensures provides customers with maximum expertise and minimal risk. nuclear business Civil Nuclear Defence Nuclear New Build Nuclear Services Nuclear I&C Submarines Component and system design and manufacture Design for build Build to Print Supply chain integrator Site licencing Engineering services Field services I&C services Design and build technical services Safety case support Safety I&C systems Control & monitoring systems Instrumentation and hardware Long-term support solutions System design Component manufacture Electrical controls and instrumentation In-service support Safety case justification Having been at the forefront of nuclear innovation for over half a century, we are well positioned to help our customers succeed. 50% providing systems and services to around half of the world s nuclear reactors

We have developed an extensive suite of safety and environmental capabilities including expert hazard assessments, safety case management, BAT (best available technology studies) and ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable) studies. All our work meets current global licensing codes and regulatory standards, ensuring that wherever the location and, whether for existing power stations or new build plant, we accommodate all safety case considerations in the most effective and efficient way. We adopt an integrated approach to environmental management by applying the optimum practical technologies and protection requirements, and delivering hazard identification and risk assessment activities, including environmental impact assessments and radiation dose modelling. We have provided some of the most safety critical products and systems in the engineering world.

5 08 09 New build Applied expertise in high-value advanced manufacturing techniques In the nuclear new build market, we provide customers with high quality engineering, component manufacture and supply chain support. 300 a network of over three hundred certified supply chain specialists We can build to print, design for manufacture, or act as an experienced supply chain integrator to utilise our nuclear-certified supply chain. Our mechanical design, manufacturing capabilities and accredited manufacturing facilities can deliver a wide range of primary and secondary circuit equipment from accumulator tanks to pressure vessels and heat exchangers. Continually developing our supply chain enables new skills which further strengthens our integration for future projects. A fundamental element for new build programmes is delivering effective supply chain solutions. Globally, we invest around five billion pounds in our supply chain, and our well-established position in the nuclear sector has helped to maintain a network of more than 300 certified suppliers. The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre, established in 2009 through collaboration between academia and industry, is rapidly introducing new manufacturing technologies and systems. Many of these are already being used in our Primary Components Operations facility at Raynesway, Derby in the UK. Continually developing our supply chain enables new skills which further strengthens supply chain integration capabilities for future projects that can last for 40 years or more - ensuring sustainable quality and cost benefit for our customers.
