Relevant Facts 2015
 Limitations imposed to ELETRONUCLEAR’S cashflow due to the
reduction of the Angra 1 and 2 tariffs, which led to a considerable
revenue loss, prevented the company from providing the required
counterpayments to make withdrawals from the external
financing
 Start of the “Car Wash” operation
 Due to the above, ELETRONUCLEAR was forced to take
exceptional measures:
 Payment delays
ELETRONUCLEAR
 Contract suspensions / Pace reduction
 General Executive Schedule – start of commercial operation in
December 2022

Angra 3 – Main Challenges
Angra 3 New Model
 Definition of legal framework and business model for private partner
participation
 Bidding process for private partner participation (or InterGovernment Agreement)
 New energy contractual model (tariff) to ensure private stakeholder
participation
 Financial resources for Project completion (State funding or private
participation)
 Engineering Works
ELETRONUCLEAR
 Civil Construction, Eletromechanical Erection and Commissioning
 Licensing and Enviromental commitments
 Applicability of the new model to new NPPs
IAEA Technical Meeting
December, 2016 / Page 14
Angra 3 – Main Challenges
Angra 3 New Model
 Definition of scope for ELETRONUCLEAR (owner) and for the private
partner:
 Eletronuclear to be the responsible for:
 Plant commissioning and operation
 Licensing activities
 Delivery of equipment (to be confirmed)
 Design of the plant
ELETRONUCLEAR
 Engineering support during construction and erection
(to be
confirmed)
 Contract with OEM (AREVA)
 Digital I&C
 Angra 3 Simulator (to be confirmed)

Angra 3 – Main Challenges
Company Challenges at Corporate Level
Company reestructuring
Cultural Changes / Integration of Different Areas
Compliance Initiatives
Personnel Replacement and Training
Preservation of company technical knowledge
New management model (mixed management team, supervision over
ELETRONUCLEAR
the private partner, centralized management towards a single
contractor...)
