SUMMARY OF THE YEAR
In 2019, the gross electricity production of Almaraz and Trillo nuclear power plants totalled 25,422 million kilowatt hours (16,966 million kWh at Almaraz and 8,456 million kWh at Trillo), which represents 44% of the energy generated by Spanish nuclear power plants and 10% of the national total.
During the year, CNAT submitted to the Ecological Transition Ministry and the Nuclear Safety Council the documentation required to renew the Production Authorisation for the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant, whose term expires in June 2020.
During May, the Extremadura facility hosted the OSART Follow-up Mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which very positively assessed the progress made to resolve issues with room for improvement established two years ago.
In addition, the follow-up evaluation of the Peer Review made in 2017 took place at the Trillo plant. During that evaluation, the international delegation verified the progress made in the areas for improvement identified 2 years ago. In addition, Trillo NPP received an exchange visit from a group of specialists from the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant (Finland) accompanied by a WANO Team Leader. This team was looking for examples of correct implementation and consistent use of Human Error Prevention Tools (HEPT).
CNAT received the renewed FRC Certificate (Family Responsible Company) from Fundación Másfamilia, which accredits improvement of the company’s qualification to the level of excellence A. This certificate is awarded following an external audit and recognises good practices in organisations that integrate models for reconciling work and family life. CNAT, which has held the FRC certificate since 2010, has implemented different measures focused on reconciling family and work life, promoting flexibility, supporting equal opportunities and promoting diversity. The reconciliation of family and work life is a priority for CNAT, which maintains a commitment to continuous improvement and implementation of new measures in this area.
Also, during 2019, the A-ZERO Plan has been consolidated, the objective of which is to achieve Zero Accidents. The overall accident rate at CNAT has been improved, and acceptable results have been recorded for accidents with sick-leave (and of low relevance). In addition, a distinct organisational effort has been applied, implementing significant actions such as approval of the General Behavioural Expectations, Rules that Save Lives in risky jobs, the launch of a line of work on improving tagouts, the reorientation of training and Preventive Safety Observations as opportunities for the line to Promote Safety.
