Nuclear power generation 1.4.1.1 The excell plan 1.4.1.1.1

guaranteed compliance of “right first time” manufacture and construction: in parallel with the “ excell in quality ” plan implemented at Framatome, all plants in the industry will be rolling out an excell plan aiming to achieve “zero defects”; supplier relations based on more straightforward, results-oriented contracts: actions are being undertaken with “France Relance” to consolidate the industry; reinforcement of quality and safety by means of standardisation and replication to secure costs and lead times. Given the specific challenges in terms of skills and quality, a “welding plan” has been put into place. This provides structure for the training and qualification of welders intervening on worksites in the nuclear industry. See also section 3.4.3.1 “Adaptation of skills (excell plan)”. Nuclear power generation in France 1.4.1.1.2 The electricity generated by EDF in France from its fleet of nuclear power plants represented 87.6% of its total electricity generation in 2020 excluding pumped storage hydropower.

The aim of the “excell” plan is to enable the French nuclear industry to return to the highest standards of quality and excellence so as to take on existing and future major projects in France, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere in the world. The excell plan also benefits existing the nuclear fleet programmes, in particular Grand Carénage refurbishment and related maintenance operations. In October 2020, EDF group and the nuclear industry made 25 new commitments to be honoured by mid-2021, spread across 5 priority areas of work: state-of-the-art project governance, with the implementation of an inspection of major “new nuclear” projects to ensure maturity at each key milestone; upskilling the French nuclear industry, in particular the 21,000 professionals recruited between 2019 and 2022, with the help of “France Relance”;
