  1. Necsa Annual Report Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Energy by:Rob Adam / Dan Moagi / Mbali Mfeka/ Chantal Janneker 19 October 2010

  2. Outline of Presentation • Mandate • Necsa Technical Matters • Necsa Human Resources • Necsa Finances • Necsa Outreach to the Community

  3. Necsa Technical Matters RobAdam – Chief Executive Officer: SA Nuclear Energy Corporation Ltd

  4. Mandate Necsa derives its mandate from three regulatory frameworks: • The Nuclear Energy Act No 46 of 1999; • The Nuclear Energy Policy (NEP) of 2008 • Directives conferred on it by the Minister of Energy The policy and legislative framework confirms Necsa’s central role for a coordinated SA nuclear industry.

  5. 2009/10 Performance • Nuclear Power Cluster • Advanced techno-economic feasibility studies for the nuclear fuel cycle completed. • Inputs provided to the DoE IRP 2 public consultation process and further inputs to be provided during November 2010. • Necsa’s Nuclear Manufacturing Centre (NMC) has made good progress towards ASME III accreditation, in preparation for localisation from SA’s nuclear energy new build programme. • Necsa has had to deal with the drastic downsizing of the PBMR programme to prevent loss of scarce nuclear skills for SA

  6. 2009/10 Performance • Radiation Products and Services Cluster • NTP Group revenue of R795 m (46% better than budget) • NTP also leading global supplier of medical isotopes • Successful conversion of SAFARI-1 reactor to LEU fuel • Necsa developed OSCAR-4 reactor core calculation system won the NSTF award for “innovation by an organisation” Continues…

  7. 2009/10 Performance • Necsa as a Host of Nuclear Programmes Cluster • Necsa’s SHEQ system was upgraded to fully comply with NNR requirements • Necsa’s Emergency Control Centre was upgraded and Necsa played a vital role during the 2010 World Cup in protecting SA’s ports of entry and stadia • R26.5m was invested in the refurbishment and upgrading of site infrastructure and R15.2 m in the improvement of R&D infrastructure • Nuclear Skills Development Centre (NSD) trained 592 full-time student equivalents and the NSD has received full accreditation as a Decentralised Trade Test Centre from CHIETA • 8 new innovations were completed during the past year Continues…

  8. Alignment with DoE Objectives and Government Outcomes • Department of Energy • Necsa’s activities are fully aligned with the DoE objectives as stated in the 2010 ENE – Programme 4: Associated Services “South African Nuclear Energy Corporation undertakes and promotes research and development in the field of nuclear energy and radiation science. The corporation is also responsible for various institutional obligations on nuclear matters on behalf of the state”

  9. Alignment with DoE Objectives and Government Outcomes • Alignment with Government Priorities: Medium Term Strategic Framework (2009 – 2014) • Strategic Priority 1: Speeding up growth and transforming the economy to create decent work and sustainable livelihoods • Strategic Priority 2: Massive programme to build economic and social infrastructure • Strategic Priority 4: Strengthen the skills and human resource base • Strategic Priority 5: Improve the health profile of all South Africans • Strategic Priority 8: Pursuing African advancement and enhanced international cooperation • Strategic Priority 9: Sustainable Resource Management and use • Strategic Priority 10: Building a developmental state including improvement of public services and strengthening democratic institutions

  10. Localisation of Nuclear Manufacturing • Nuclear energy expansion programme estimated at R426 billion until 2030 • Even 10% participation will bring revenue of ~R42billion to SA – massive opportunity for local industrial development & job creation • Necsa NM already manufactures coded pressure vesels, heat exchangers, storage tanks etc. • NM has already attained ISO 9001/2008 & ASME U-Stamp Certification

  11. Environmental Performance • Comprehensive environmental programme in place • Compliance to water permit rerquirements - no reportable events occured • Compliance with environmental requirements of the Nuclear License: Significant decrease in stack releases • Electricity consumption decreased by 2.2% • Water consumption increased by 7%

  12. Necsa Priorities for 2010/11 • Responding to the IRP 2 • Development of NM and its role in support of localisation • Completion of the LEU target plate development • Development of NTP’s role in the US isotope market • Launching of the Necsa Nuclear Science Centre • Including a nuclear security training course at the Nuclear Skills Development Centre

  13. Necsa Human Resources Dan Moagi – Group Executive: Human Resources

  14. Necsa Group Employment • Necsa staff complement increased from 1870 to 2113 during the 2009/10 financial year • Female employees increased from 508 to 608 • Black employees increased from 986 to 1151 • Black employees 52% against target of 49% • Selected SHEQ Statistics: - workdays lost due to DI’s – improved by 56% - TIR – improved by 17%

  15. Necsa Executive Management Composition

  16. Human Resource Training • Mentorship and coaching- first programme successfuly completed • Graduate support programme: - Graduates in training = 18 - Bursary students = 36 • PBMR bursary holders transfered to Necsa • Internships/Graduates = 40 • Apprentices =24 • Adult Basic Education: English=66, Maths=30 • Damelin Leaderships = 79 learners

  17. Necsa Finances Mbali Mfeka – Senior Manager: Finance and Information Management

  18. Financial Performance and Projections for the Necsa Group

  19. Financial Performance and Projections For Necsa Corporate

  20. Auditor-General’s Report • Unqualified report for 2009/10 • Emphasis of matter - Significant uncertainty relating to the taxpayer status - Restatement of corresponding figures - Material impairment of investment in subsidairy - Contingency liability relating to PAYE

  21. Financial Constraints Necsa’s mandate was expanded by the publication of the Nuclear Energy Policy in 2008. However: • These expanded mandate functions have not culminated into increased baseline funding; • Whilst the Nuclear Energy Policy implementation strategy is still being formulated, SA is required to respond to new electricity generation capacity (IRP 2 – November 2010); • Misalignment between IRP 2 policy development and the national budget process introduces further challenges for Necsa going forward; • Necsa has already had to reprioritise its funding in order to begin preparing for the requirements of SA’s nuclear energy expansion (e.g. NFC, NMC, NSD, PBMR staff); • Despite the increased/expanded mandate, as well as the above requirements Necsa had its baseline reduced by R207 million over the 2010/11 to 2013/14 MTEF period.

  22. Implications if Additional Funding is not Secured • Limited capability to invest in urgent upgrading and renewal projects required to fulfil our role in terms of the NEA and NEP • Challenge to retain highly skilled scarce nuclear staff • Limited capability to run high level training programs especially for new generation nuclear technical experts and leaders • Challenge to improve on risk and safety performance and comply with stricter regulatory requirements

  23. Implications if Additional Funding is not Secured • Jeopardise Necsa’s capability to be prepared in time to support SA New Build program and exploit the multitude of opportunities offered to SA • An underfunded nuclear programme poses risks to SA in terms of deteriorating infrastructure, skills scarcity and a delayed nuclear energy expansion programme.

  24. Necsa Outreach to the Community Chantal Janneker- Group Executive: Marketing and Communication

  25. Necsa Outreach to the Community • Radiation monitoring services: In support of the FIFA 2010 World Cup, 63 persons were recruited on contract from Necsa’s immediate and Vaalputs communities for training to carry out radiation monitoring tasks during the world cup • Necsa after the World Cup, have appointed 20 of these persons on a permanent basis to receive further training as RPO’s • Necsa emergency services to community in vicinity of Necsa’s site: fire calls 122, ambulance calls 221, vehicle accidents assistance 152

  26. Necsa Outreach to the Community • Schools Outreach Programme: focusing on empowering historically disadvantaged Dinaledi Schools in science and maths training • NTP schools assistance: Various programmes to support Ennis Thabong Intermediary School-Meerhof, Re-e-Lwele Primary School- Broederstroom and Zilkaatsnek Primary School • Necsa-Vaalputs PSIF training agreement: transfer basic technical skills to the inhabitants of the Kamiesberg Municipality. NSD provides training to communities in basic technical skills and repairs to mechanical and electronic equipment. Necsa also provides for the training in Maths and science at Kharkams • Bursaries for 11 Namaqualand students at the NSDC

  27. Necsa Outreach to the Community • Nuclear Visitors Centre: improvingpublic perceptions on nuclear energy is a big challenge to the nuclear industry. The NVC is aimed at making a significant contribution towards the dissemination of accurate nuclear info to the public and improving public perceptions on nuclear. • Science week: In support of DST programme to develop interest in science and maths as career opportunities, Necsa also presented a programme attended by 2075 learners from 41 schools. • School and University site visits: Necsa hosted visits from various schools and universities with an interest in science and physics
