Dear Industry Colleagues,<br />
As Program Committee Chairman, I want to personally invite you to <strong>NUCLEAR</strong> <strong>POWER</strong> <strong>International</strong> 2012<br />
Conference and Exhibition. The conference and exhibition will take place Dec. 11-13, 2012 at the Orange<br />
County Convention Center in Orland, Fla.<br />
Our conference planning committee has built a dynamic set of sessions for attendees to learn about the<br />
future of nuclear power. While the past year and a half has been “up-and-down,” the industry is moving forward<br />
and the future of nuclear energy is optimistic.<br />
The disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan has continued to make headlines over a year after the<br />
accident. The global nuclear industry is learning, and implementing, lessons to ensure the safety of nuclear<br />
power generation. Countries around the world have been completing safety checks and safety enhancements<br />
at nuclear facilities. One session will provide an update on the Fukushima Daiichi plant and the outcomes for<br />
utilities. Speakers will discuss lessons learned for utilities and new initiatives being implemented, such as the<br />
Nuclear Energy Institute’s FLEX strategy.<br />
In the midst of the safety enhancements and upgrades, new nuclear construction continues. Over 60 reactors<br />
are being constructed across the globe, which will add to the 430-plus operating units that generate over 370<br />
GW. In the U.S. alone, both Southern Co. and SCANA Corp. are building two Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at<br />
their respective sites in Georgia and South Carolina. The Tennessee valley Authority is also completing Watts<br />
Bar Unit 2, and has plans in place to complete Unit 1 at Bellefonte. Speakers from engineering firms, utilities<br />
and government will update all attendees on the progress of these projects and the development of small<br />
modular reactors.<br />
Learn about emerging countries developing new energy programs with an emphasis on nuclear power<br />
generation. A panel discussion will provide an overview of nuclear programs outside the U.S. with speakers<br />
ranging from various organizations and countries, such as South Africa, United Arab Emirates, and the UK.<br />
And if your company is not a qualified supplier for nuclear projects, <strong>NUCLEAR</strong> <strong>POWER</strong> <strong>International</strong> 2012 is<br />
the place to be! A panel will provide you and your colleagues the steps your company needs to complete to<br />
become a qualified supplier. Experiences from a buyer’s vantage point on the best ways to find and verify<br />
suppliers, complete with a workshop for aspiring suppliers, will be presented.<br />
Co-located again this year with <strong>POWER</strong>-GEN <strong>International</strong>, the largest power generation conference and<br />
exhibition in the world, you will have the ability to network with over 20,000 individuals working in the power<br />
generation field.<br />
Registration includes access to all conference sessions, the exhibit floor, technical tours, pre-conference<br />
workshops and an opening reception. Thank you for your support of <strong>NUCLEAR</strong> <strong>POWER</strong> <strong>International</strong> and our<br />
teams looks forward to seeing you in Orlando!<br />
Sincerely,<br />

POLK <strong>POWER</strong> STATION<br />
monday, december 10, 2012<br />
Time: 7:30 Am – 1:30 Pm (check-in at 7:00 Am at the Shuttle Bays<br />
outside South Halls)<br />
Fee: $75 (Approx. 1 ½-hour bus ride each way; transportation,<br />
beverages and box lunch included)<br />
Space is limited. Registration cut-off date: November 30, 2012<br />
Location<br />
Polk Power Station occupies 4,300 acres on State Road 37 in Polk County, Florida. It is about 60 miles southwest<br />
of Orlando.<br />
Description<br />
A state-of-the-art integrated coal gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) power plant, Tampa Electric’s Polk Power<br />
Station produces enough electricity to serve 75,000 homes. The 260 mW IGCC facility began commercial<br />
operation in the fall of 1996. Construction on Polk Unit Two began in 1998 and Unit Three in 1999. These two<br />
180 mW simple cycle combustion turbines use natural gas and distillate oil to generate electricity. Unit Two<br />
and Unit Three started commercial operation in July 2000 and may 2002 respectively. Polk Units four and five,<br />
two 160 mW units were completed in April 2007. The two new simple-cycle peaking units use natural gas to<br />
generate electricity.<br />
Technology<br />
The 260 mW IGCC facility is a first-of-its-kind combination of two leading technologies, coal gasification and<br />
combined-cycle. The plant combines coal with oxygen in the gasifier to produce the gaseous fuel. After processing,<br />
the clean coal gas is used in the combustion turbine to produce electricity. Combined-cycle technology<br />
increases efficiency because it reuses exhaust heat to produce more electricity.<br />
Combined-cycle design consists of a combustion turbine, a heat recovery steam generator and a steam<br />
turbine. The exhaust heat from the combustion turbine is recovered in the heat recovery steam generator to<br />
produce steam. This steam then passes through a steam turbine to produce more electricity.<br />
The plant is considered “zero process water discharge.” A brine concentration unit, which produces an effluent<br />
that is reused in the process, handles all of the liquid waste. The combined-cycle technology requires much<br />
less cooling water than conventional technology, and Tampa Electric was able to modify existing conventional<br />
“mine cuts” to become the plant’s cooling reservoir.<br />
With a march 2009 agreement, Tampa Electric established an innovative public-private project with the City of<br />
Lakeland and the Southwest Florida Water management District to supply Polk Power Station with up to five<br />
million gallons of treated reclaimed water daily that would otherwise be discharged into Tampa Bay via the<br />
Alafia River. The 30-year agreement will benefit the environment by reducing wastewater release.<br />
REQUIREMENTS: All attendees must bring a photo ID with them. Appropriate clothing includes: long pants,<br />
closed-toed shoes, (sandals and sneakers not allowed); short-sleeved shirts are OK. Backpacks or bags may<br />
be subject to search and may be left on the bus during the tour. Photography is not allowed (includes cameras,<br />
cell phones and smart phones).<br />

CPC 104 Safe Bolting: Principles and Practices – Lessons in Tower Erection<br />
and Turbine Assembly<br />
Date: Sunday, December 9, 2012 Time: 8:00 Am – 5:00 Pm<br />
Room: S320H Cost: $500.00<br />
Instructor<br />
Jon Gans, Ph.D. Training and Safety manager, Hytorc Bolting Institute<br />
Who Should Attend<br />
This course is targeted to first-line mechanical operators and those who supervise their work, including on site safety managers and<br />
contractor executives who are responsible for the quality of construction and maintenance. There are over 500 high strength bolts in<br />
the typical wind tower, each of which plays a critical role in the function and efficiency of the assembled unit. Any failure or premature<br />
loosening of any one of these fasteners could cascade into a failure of the entire system. This is the only OSHA approved and certificated<br />
bolting course in the wind industry and it addresses the safety, quality and efficiency impacts of the assembly of towers and turbines. A<br />
trained assembly and maintenance workforce is fundamental to achieving project quality and project longevity goals, not to mention the<br />
all-important safety priorities of the industry.<br />
Course Overview and Objective<br />
The course teaches both the theory and the practical skills of industrial bolting with special emphasis on the structural and machine<br />
connects found in wind towers and turbines. Its purpose is to not only instruct, but to set a standard for the basic level of competency<br />
for the bolting craft as practiced in the wind energy industry. Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to<br />
understand the technology of bolted joints and the safety principles associated with tool selection and operation, workplace environment<br />
and conditions, and bolting methods and procedures. The success of the efforts will be directly reflected in an improvement in 3 key areas:<br />
I. Safety: Everyone’s primary concern must be with creating and maintaining an accident-free, environmentally-friendly workplace. Bolting<br />
operations especially those in the wind industry are inherently dangerous, but by following established procedures the risks can be<br />
managed, even if they may not be entirely eliminated. Nothing is as important as worker safety.<br />
2. Quality: Quality refers to machinery and processes being optimized and working as designed. This most often means extending the<br />
time between planned maintenance outages and extending the serviceable life of the unit.<br />
3. Schedule (efficiency): This refers to the ability to quickly get into and out of the bolting work, whether it be initial assembly, repairs or<br />
periodic maintenance. It means converting maintenance hours into productive generating hours by understanding how to solve the<br />
problems and employing the proper tools to do it.<br />
Course Highlights<br />
Instruction modules include:<br />
• Orientation and course goals<br />
• Overview<br />
• Principles of bolted joints<br />
• The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts<br />
• Tightening with torque<br />
• Tightening with tension<br />

Instructor<br />
Kenneth A. Hart, Senior Consultant, AP Services, LLC<br />
Who Should Attend<br />
This course is focused at maintenance, Training, Outage managers, Component/System Engineers to provide insights into fundamentals<br />
of Fluid Sealing and critical areas which are being overlooked or improperly applied.<br />
Course Overview and Objective<br />
Fluid seal leaks are continuing to have a major impact on nuclear power generation. During 2011, 4 stations shutdown as a direct result<br />
of valve packing failures and a major nuclear fleet identified that over 75% of reworks from outages were a result of fluid sealing leaks.<br />
The course covers fundamentals of good fluid sealing programs, provide insights into the most common causes and highlight key simple<br />
steps to bring your station to “leak-free” operation.<br />
After the laying the foundational fundamentals for achieving “leak-free” operation, the course will take attendees to the next level<br />
Simple “In power plants, if you work on a valve or flange and you do not determine why it is leaking it will probably leak again!” The<br />
impact of failing to uncover simple leak causes is costly. For major incidents we apply detailed, in-depth root cause evaluation processes.<br />
Could we apply similar concepts in a simple, focused approach to leaks?<br />
The second focus will provide the tools and concepts, (ie a cook book) to engage your organization with an awareness, to drive for “leakfree”<br />
operation. An often overlooked part on the road to “leak-free” operation is “leak cause determination”. With recent “operating<br />
experience” as a focus we explore the reasons behind crucial industry leaks and determine common threads. This review will lead us to<br />
standard techniques/approaches which can be simply implemented at your station.<br />
Course Highlights<br />
• Evolution of Valve Packing from 70’s to the Future<br />
• Components of a good packing system, more than just valve packing<br />
• Increasing your margin to “leak-free” service<br />
• Impact of valve packing on LLRT’s, AOV and MOV performance<br />
• Procedure/program enhancements typically missing<br />
• Basic of Gaskets, Stress and Sealing<br />
• Steps to take for long term “leak-free” service<br />
• Major Causes of Fluid Sealing Leaks What is your culture? Are leaks expected?<br />
• Simple Questions to ask about Fluid Sealing Leaks<br />
• Why bother with “leak cause determination”?<br />
• Before you touch a leak, what do you see?<br />
• Putting leak cause determination together - a simple process<br />

CPC 502 Structuring and Negotiating Turbine Procurement Agreements and the BOP<br />
EPC Contracts for Gas-Fired Projects<br />
Date: monday, December 10, 2012 Time: 1:00 Pm – 5:00 Pm<br />
Room: S320B Cost: $400.00<br />
Instructors<br />
Richard E. (“Chip”) Thompson, Partner, mercer Thompson LLC; Jason B. yost, Partner, mercer Thompson LLC<br />
Who Should Attend<br />
Power generation owners and developers, project managers and anyone who has procurement and construction responsibilities in<br />
connection with the development of power generation facilities for electric power companies.<br />
Course Overview and Objective<br />
Gas turbine orders are surging as utilities and developers increasing select gas instead of coal or other sources for baseload generation,<br />
as well as the need for quick-start generation to level out variable renewable resources. This course will comprise an overview, from the<br />
developer’s perspective, of two fundamental contracts for building a gas-fired or CCGT power plant: the Turbine Procurement Agreement<br />
(TPA) and the balance of plant (BOP) Engineering, Procurement and Construction Agreement (EPC).<br />
The course’s first half will focus on the typical TPA, outlining the key issues and risks inherent in these documents and focusing on how<br />
to protect the developer’s interests, including in such areas as payment, security, late equipment delivery, performance guarantees, cure<br />
periods and warranties. The second half will focus on the typical BOP EPC Agreement, examining how the three fundamentals of scope,<br />
time and money are each addressed throughout the document’s inter-woven provisions, and how various key risks can impact these<br />
fundamentals. In both cases, the presenters will delve into “best practices” and “critical nuances” in these agreements.<br />
Finally, the presenters will explore strategic techniques for “weaving” the TPA and BOP EPC Agreement together so as to minimize gap<br />
risks between the documents. Such an approach can help decrease a project’s construction risk, and help it to secure more favorable<br />
terms in connection with project financing.<br />
Course Highlights<br />
• Turbine Procurement Agreements – Issues, Risks and Solutions<br />
• Vendors Scope Description<br />
• Defining “Delivery” and “Delivery Delay” Concepts<br />
• Payment and Payment Security Issues<br />
• Performance Guarantees, Liquidated Damages, Caps and Exclusions<br />
• Warranties, Warranty Conditions and Exclusions<br />

Moderator: Russell Ray, Managing Editor, Power Engineering magazine<br />
Session Description: Panelists will explore the financing options and strategies that work best in today’s<br />
market. We’ll also be talking about liquidity issues, risk and return expectations, new development<br />
possibilities, and the financial and regulatory barriers to overcome in today’s tight financial market. Are<br />
there emerging new sources of financing for energy projects? What are the risks associated with certain<br />
technologies and what risks worry lenders the most? We will attempt to answer these and many other<br />
questions over the course of this session.<br />

<strong>POWER</strong>-GEN 2011 Car Winner, Kennith King<br />
The sports-car community is buzzing with rumors about the 2013 Corvette and the upgrades Chevy has planned. We’re not trying to spread<br />
gossip but things like “upgraded interiors, improved steering linearity and feel and possible slimmed-down rear haunches” have been mentioned.<br />
Be one of the first to see the upgrades and possibly the first on the road with the new and improved Vette.<br />
entering is easy – just take your entry card to sponsoring company booths, have it stamped and turn it in for your chance<br />
to drive away in style!<br />
