PEOPLE MANAGEMENT

Our people are our main asset at Almaraz-Trillo Nuclear Power Plants (CNAT). Their collaboration, commitment and identification with the Organisation are the best guarantee for safe operation of the plants and achievement of the business objectives. Therefore, human resources policy aims to promote a work environment that facilitates professional and personal development, with special attention to the health and safety of employees.

At 31 December 2018, CNAT employed a team of 836 professionals characterised by their experience and high qualifications: 49% have a university degree. Out of the total number of employees, 367 people performed their activities at the Almaraz Plant, 345 at Trillo and 97 in the CNAT Plant Offices. With an average age of 49, CNAT staff are concentrated mainly in Extremadura (47%), Castilla-La Mancha (41%) and Madrid (12%).

There were 20 new recruits during the year and in all cases prior to recruitment to the work place, they received initial training and coaching about their work place functions. It should be noted that CNAT’s staff have the support of approximately750 employees of specialist contractors during normal operation. During refuellings, between 1,000 and 1,200 additional workers are employed.

Since 2017, CNAT has been certified by AENOR INTERNACIONAL SAU in accordance with ISO-10.667-2: 2011 on the provision of evaluation services: Procedures and methods for evaluating people in work and organisational environments.

INDUSTRIAL RISK PREVENTION

All accidents could and should be avoided. Safety and health of people and the integration of prevention at all levels of the Organisation are a priority for CNAT. During 2018 there were 10 accidents at CNAT, 7 of them with sick-leave. The commitment to the Health and Safety of people is a hallmark of Almaraz-Trillo Nuclear Power Plants and has as its ultimate goal the achievement and maintenance of ZERO accidents. For this reason, CNAT Management has promoted a project to improve the preventive culture of the organization, which we have called Plan A-> CERO.

With this objective, during 2018, a series of action plans has been promoted as part of a 3-year plan, including the following:

• To define and disseminate key rules on prevention associated with the main risks identified in electrical work, movement of loads and falls from different levels, which will subsequently be followed-up with other significant risks (rules that save lives).

• To review and strengthen Prevention Observation strategies, as a fundamental prevention tool, which acts at the base of the accident-rate pyramid, improving fault detection and helping to set the safety expectations we want for the organisation. There were over 500 prevention observations during 2018.

• Implementation of a communication campaign and adherence to the prevention policy, with the aim of achieving a Prevention Management System based on the responsibility, commitment and involvement of all CNAT’s employees and with a very clear focus on collaborating companies that perform work at the Power Plants.

• Development of an exhaustive accident and incident investigation methodology that facilitates their classification, reporting, investigation and analysis to prevent their repetition based on identification of the root cause and resulting actions.

• Finally, implementation of a systematic programme of awareness and advanced training in prevention for all levels at CNAT, including collaborating companies.

In addition, CNAT’s Prevention Service has two Health Surveillance units that supervise the health of workers at the three work centres. Specific health monitoring protocols required in accordance with the risk assessment performed by Technical Prevention for each job are applied in the medical examinations. This unit also performs functions of health care, provides support in medical emergencies and accidents, and maintains Level I accreditation for caring for irradiated and contaminated casualties.

With the aim of maintaining the health of our workers with the highest quality standards, in Preventive Activity Planning for 2018, in addition to specific Health Monitoring activities a Health Promotion Programme titled, “Healthy Company Plan 2018” was introduced, and as part of this, a “Nutritional Valuation Workshop” and“Footprint Biodynamic Study” were implemented.

Throughout the year we continued screening campaigns for colon cancer (occult blood in stool), oral health, melanoma prevention and dermatological and eye health pathology through non-mydriatic retinography. An article on “Cancer Decalogue” was also published in the internal magazine, CNAT World. All information sessions and campaigns have been very well received.

TRAINING

The qualifications of individuals working for Almaraz-Trillo Nuclear Power Plants are one of the priority interest areas, and for that reason CNAT has permanent resources dedicated to planning and developing annual training plans for each work centre, not only with regard to initial training, but also for refresher-training and management skill training.

In 2018, 631 initial and refresher-training courses were provided, which resulted in 157,252.52 hours of training for 5,254 workers, including future plant operators (17 young students in training). The part of the training programme dedicated to refresher-training represented 51.17%, and that corresponding to initial training was 48.83%.

During the year, 831 CNAT employees (99.21% of the total) participated in training activities, totalling 64,546.78 hours of training, and the average training hours per employee was 77.67 hours. Training programmes for future plant operators prior to joining the workforce, resulted in over 14,808 hours training during the year.

With regard to monitoring the qualifications of contracting personnel, CNAT continued to encourage improvements in their training by providing support for planned training activities, and by arranging specific training sessions for these workers. In 2018, 77,897.74 hours of training were dedicated for 4,406 workers of contracting companies.

INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS

Internal communication is a key tool at CNAT to transmit the strategic objectives and values promoted by the organisation. As a result of this commitment, during 2018, particular focus was placed on communicating internally the ZERO ACCIDENTS objective by means of a dissemination campaign of an informative nature that highlighted the consequences that negligence or a breach related to safety could have for the workers immediate surroundings (“Safety at work does not only affect you”).

CNAT employees use various communication channels provided by the company including the internal magazine “Mundo CNAT” and the monthly newsletter “En 5 minutos”, a system of information screens distributed throughout the three work centres, and the corporate Intranet

RELATIONS WITH SOCIETY

CNAT continues to have direct, fluid and stable relationships with institutions in surrounding areas, and in 2018 semi-annual meetings were held, two at each plant, with the mayors of nearby councils and with the media. All information concerning operational results is presented at these meetings together with news about future plans and projects. 169 personalised meetings were also held with mayors of surrounding councils to study on a bilateral basis the relationships of the Plants with each municipality and potential collaboration channels. In addition, this year management from both plants participated in the Information Committees organised by the official bodies responsible for nuclear energy, providing all information required at any time.

The commitment of Almaraz and Trillo NPPs to their neighbouring communities is reflected in the cooperation agreements that have been renewed in the social/economic and environmental fields, and educational development projects.

Similarly, CNAT has renewed cooperation agreements with news and press agencies most representative of the Plant environs, and these are used to promote the training and specialisation of Information Science final year students on nuclear sourced electricity production. Also, a course on nuclear technology for media professionals is provided every year at our facilities in Trillo.

The dissemination actions by CNAT on nuclear energy and operation of its plants are evidenced by the welcoming of 8,684 visitors this year to the Information Centres, (3,748 at Almaraz and 4,036 at Trillo). Between the two Plants, over one million people have visited the Almaraz and Trillo installations since they began operating in 1977 and 1981 respectively. In addition, both the web site (www.cnat.es) and the blog www.energiaymas.es provide interesting information about plant activities and their environments, and contribute to this effort to expand dissemination of information about the nuclear world.

To ensure continuous improvement of the quality of products and associated services, CNAT ensures that its suppliers are aware of and participate in the company’s work processes and protocols. Trading volume in 2018 was € 280.1 M. Of the total number of identified suppliers with contract awards, 91.15% (371 out of 407) are domestic suppliers.
