Build—own—operate

The latest outsourcing development is for giant services companies to bundle their services together to provide a one-stop shop. A services contractor may provide some form of permanently installed utilities plant under a build, own, operate, maintain program (BOOM), so that the customer merely pays a contract fee to receive water, steam, electricity, and other services. Thus, the entire responsibility for the provision of utilities can be passed to a contractor, and not merely at one facility, but globally ...

If the ownership of the reactor and fuel is intended to remain with the vendor, the BOO (build-own-operate) scheme is the most appropriate. 

Implement tiie Project using Build-Own-Operate scheme, which will allow to remove the heavy burden of intensive capital investment from energy consumers while, at the same time, the Company retains the rights of property. 

It is proposed that the Project should be implemented using BOO Build - Own -Operate) model. 

By the build-own-operate (BOO) scheme the vendor would tow the NPP barge, with cool shutdown reactors in it to the construction site. And at the end of each operating campaign the vendor would replace the NPP with new one and tow back fully used cores... 

International acceptance is the crucial issue that one country should foresee, since it involves non-proliferation and safeguards. In possible scheme of Build-Own-Operate (BOO) the whole barge with the nuclear fuel will stay and remain within the supplier s possession before, during and after the use in the reactor. This might solve the problem of ownership of such materials within the territory of a user country, unless otherwise does not accord to the local regulations. 

The closeness of scale factors of the RI at SNPP and the NPI at the NS ensures continuity of main engineering solutions and enables creation of SNPP in very short terms if there is a certain customer. SNPPs of the type considered satisfy the principle which is the most acceptable for the customer I build, own, operate, decommission up to the green lawn . 

BOOM Build, own, operate, maintain for some years as per agreement between purchaser and external agency. The profits during these years could be shared or taken by external agency. It is then to be transferred to the original party. 

TCO is the cost calculated over the hfe cycle of a plant. This can be either the contract period of a build-own-operate-transfer (BOOT) project (in years) or the technical life of the mechanical and civil constructions. This cost can be compared for different plants realized, under construction, or being planned and the calculation can be applied also at large scale showing the trend for TCO (Knops et al, 2007).

BOOT Build, own, operate and transfer to pirrchaser after a certain agreed period BOM Build, operate and maintain on behalf of the purchaser, who agrees to pay some fees or shares the profit generated. The vendor recovers the cost from this The ownership is transferred to purchaser after the vendor has recovered his costs fully along with profit. The purchaser does not invest funds initially but gets the benefits—at reduced rates... 

Floating NPP could be leased (rented) under build-own-operate conditions to any country of the world, which may make it possible to overcome the existing political and economical barriers on the way of application of nuclear power in developing countries ... 

At present, cost estimates for electricity production are even higher. For example, in Turkey, the discussion with Rosatom focusses on a fixed price Power Purchase Agreement for 15 years under a Build-Own-Operate scheme the weighted average cost is US 123.5/MWh and the quantity of electricity is fixed. In the UK, EDF has been offered an investment contract for Hinkley Point C (ie, the construction of UK s first nuclear plant in 28 years) with a strike price for its electricity output of GBP 92.50 (ie, 125 in 2012 prices) per MWh, which will be adjusted (linked to inflation) during the construction period and over the subsequent 35-year tariff period this strike price for electricity from Hinkley Point C is roughly twice the current wholesale price of power.
