For CNAT, 2013 was characterised by various contexts. Firstly, there was a reorganisation in January 2013 when D. Eduardo Lasso de la Vega took up the post of CNAT Directorate-General after his appointment had been approved by the Almaraz-Trillo Board. Also in April, the green light was given to implement changes to the organisational structure, including the appointment of a new Executive Committee.

In addition, the difficult and uncertain situation within the Spanish electricity industry demanded greater efforts by the organization, and through hard work and professionalism it achieved good results and defined future plans to lay the foundations for recovery in the coming years.

The good performance of the Plants can be seen in their operating figures: net production of the three units reached 22,596 million kilowatt hours and gross output 23,689 million kilowatt hours, equivalent to 42% of Spanish electricity produced by nuclear power plants (56,378 GWh) and 8.7% of the national electricity system production (273,598 GWh).

As a demonstration of its commitment to excellence, CNAT approved the 2014 Action Plan at the end of the year. The Plan consists of a set of programmes to improve critical processes impacting people management and supervision systems.

During the year, some of the most important projects arising from the operating permit were implemented, together with various design modifications related to improvements committed to in responses to the technical instructions issued by the Nuclear Safety Council as part of the framework of the stress tests carried out within the European Union.

Work to maintain the qualifications of personnel employed at the Plants in 2013 totalled 152,527.4 training hours with 5,351 individuals trained.

The various measures implemented for risk prevention, and the work to reduce the rate of workplace accidents, by combining training and information actions, were also part of the priorities that CNAT actioned this year.

Thanks to the commitment to promote equality and conciliation, on 5 July 2013, CNAT’s Family Friendly Company emblem was renewed for a further period of 3 years. This underlined the firm belief in progress on conciliation and equality of opportunity to improve the quality of life of people working in the company.

Regarding the commitment to the Environment, during September AENOR conducted an audit for the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Certificate with the result, “Compliant Review”, for a term of three years. This audit was conducted by means of visits to both plants and documentary analysis at the Madrid headquarters.

Finally, it should be noted that CNAT prepares its business plan in accordance with the principles of responsible and sustainable business. Proof of this lies in the various activities that have been carried out with institutions, media and society in general in the areas in which our plants are located.
