Chile: Electrical Systems and Electricity Production


• Electric Market is deregulated divided in three levels: ─Generation ─ Transmission ─Distribution

• All the three entirely in private companies • Electrical Interconnected systems are divided in four zones

─SING ─SIC ─Aysen Electric System ─Magallanes Electric System

Chile: Electricity Production (at 2012)


SING (Great North Interconnected System) Annual generation (GWh) 16751,1

Population ~ 6%

Regulated Clients ~10% Free Clients ~ 90%

SIC (Central Interconnected System) + Los Lagos Annual generation (GWh) 48812,1

Population ~ 92,4%

Regulated Clients ~ 70% Free Clients ~ 30%

Aysen Electric System Annual generation (GWh) 149,8

Population ~ 0,6% Regulated Clients 100%

Magallanes Electric System Annual generation (GWh) 186,6

Population ~ 1% Regulated Clients 100%

Chile: Nuclear Power Highlights


Highlights during Bachelet´s Government (2006-2010)

2007-2010 (Former president Bachelet) She set up the “Nuclear power team work”, which concluded there’s no reason to discard nuclear energy as a source of electricity. After that, the following studies were hired:

─ Role of the state and the private sector ─ Regulatory framework ─ Fuel cycle ─ Impacts and risks of nuclear power ─ Descriptions of Chile's natural risks which should be considered before implementing a NPP ─ Analysis and proposal of nuclear regulation ─ Updated required to the current legal framework before introducing NPP ─ Public opinion

2008, Chilean Engineer School develop a Report with suggestions and a schedule for the

implementation of a Nuclear Power Programme.

2010 (February, weeks before chilean earthquake), the report “Nuclear Electricity in Chile: Possibilities, Gaps and Challenges” was submitted at the end of Bachelet´s government , by CChEN and the National Energy Commission. This was a more deeply evaluation about the possibility of implementing a NPP.

2010, (February 27th), earthquake 8.8 Richter scale. After that, one year later (March 2011) a nuclear accident in Fukushima, the fears of population increased.

Chile Nuclear Power in Chile


Current highlights of Sebastian Piñera´s Government (2010 at date)

2011 President Piñera received the report : “Electricity Development Advisory Commission”, which recommended for a possible NPP :

− To increase the CCHEN resources − The formation of a new, autonomous regulatory body- different from CCHEN − Geologycal studies − To inform the population about nuclear energy − To train and develop human resources

2012 CChEN forms GENE (Nuclear Electric Study Group) to develop all the required

capacities for advising the government regarding a NPP (CCHEN human resources in

collaboration with the Energy National Commission)

2013 Currently the following studies are being considered to be tendered :

• Nuclear Technology Reactors Study.

• Regional Analysis for selecting potential areas for sitting.

TOPICS

Objectives. • To make CChEN a valid counterpart in the studies of nuclear feasibility.

• To advice the government

• To inform the population

• To detect gaps and propose lines to a future Regulation

• To consider IAEA’s recommendations and other countries experiences

Chile: Main Problems


• Earthquake and Tsunami Valdivia City

(South of Chile)

• Along 160km of the coast.

• May 22th, 1960

• Intensity 9,6 in the Richter scale

• Earthquake and Tsunami

Cobquecura City (South of Chile)

• Along 800Km of the coast

• February 27th, 2010

• Intensity 8,8 in the Richter scale

Tools to deepen knowledge

1.- A deeper understanding of the IAEA recommendations.

2.- Understand all the aspects of the issue according to the

country requirements.

3.- Stakeholders (Identify, Monitor, Interaction)

4.- Identify whom are experts in the issue. (National/

International)

2.1.- A deeper understandinig of the Issue.

2.2.- An International Overview and case studies.

2.3.- Framework (Local gaps, lines of new regulation).

2.4.- Applied to Chile according to current/future status.

4.1.- To identify counterparts to be include.

4.2.- To identify whom are involved in the issue, and with whom it

could be interesting to participate.

4.3.- To identify and monitor the relevant cases or examples

related to the issue.

To become CCHEN a valid

counterpart.

To advise the Government.

To inform the Population.

To detect gaps and propose

lines to the regulation

To propose action plans in

order to close the gaps.

-Other specification.

The knowledge level will depend on the level of information obtained and the quality of the

exercises carried out, for this, it is needed the support and expert advice of IAEA.

Currently

-A list of questions was

elaborated which gave a vision of

every topic according to the

requirements of the country.

-To describe and justify in detail

al the topics which are involved in

the issue.

- To elaborate a summary report

of each issue.

• To the present, the GENE continues evaluating the feasibility of a NPP. Even though, political decisions have been posposed, is expected that soon a resolution will be taken

• The current challenges recognized by the GENE are:

• Built the institutional capability in CChen in order to give advice to the Government in all aspects of Nuclear Power.

• To fully understand Fukushima’s accident • To inform the public. • To identify the gaps in the national framework regarding to every topic

being evaluated, considering different PNP’s scenarios in the country.
