 RECITALS:

  

	(A)	 	BNFL carries on, through its business group Westinghouse, the business of, inter alia, the manufacture of uranium dioxide Fuel derived from enriched uranium hexafluoride and the supply
of Fuel Elements suitable for use in advanced gas-cooled reactors and currently supplies BEG with such Fuel Elements together with associated components for delivery to BEG’s AGR Power Stations pursuant to an Agreement with Nuclear Electric
Limited dated 3 June 1997, as amended (the Existing Fuel Supply Agreement). 

  

	(B)	 	On 5 September 2002 BE, the parent company of BEG, announced that it had entered into discussions with HMG with a view to seeking immediate financial support and to enable a longer term
solvent restructuring to take place. On 9 September 2002, HMG granted BE a loan for up to £410 million in respect of its working capital requirements and cash collateral in the United Kingdom and North America. This loan was repayable on 27
September 2002 but, on 26 September 2002, was increased to £650 million and extended until 29 November 2002 and, on 28 November 2002, further extended until 9 March 2003. 

  

	(C)	 	In September 2002, BE informed BNFL both that it and its subsidiaries were unable to meet their obligations under the Existing Fuel Supply Agreement and certain of its other arrangements with
BNFL and that a solvent restructuring of BE could not take place without the amendment of the commercial terms of the Existing Fuel Supply Agreement and such other arrangements. 

  

	(D)	 	On 28 November 2002, BNFL and BE entered into the Heads of Terms which contained non-binding summary proposals which, together with other proposals agreed between BE and HMG, were intended to
lead to a solvent restructuring of BE (assuming that other interested third parties, including BE’s creditors, co-operated to put the solvent restructuring into effect). 

  

	(E)	 	In the Heads of Terms, BE and BNFL agreed, inter alia, to enter into negotiations with a view to entering into a new Fuel supply arrangement to be effective from 1 April 2006.


  

	(F)	 	This Agreement sets out the terms and conditions upon which BNFL will, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the Conditions, supply Fuel to BEG from 1 April 2006 until the end of the
Fuel Supply Period.

	6.	 	FUEL SPECIFICATION AND DESIGN 

  
 6.1 All Fuel shall be manufactured and supplied in accordance with the Contract Specification, which Contract Specification, together with any revisions thereto Agreed, shall be made available as controlled copies to
BNFL by BEG. All proposals relating to Fuel design that have potential implications for safety and performance and/or for acceptance of Fuel which is not fully compliant with the requirements of the Contract Specification must be submitted by BNFL
to BEG. The authority within BEG accountable for assessment of such proposals is the Director of Engineering (the Design Authority). The authority within BNFL accountable for decisions taken by BNFL pursuant to this Clause 6, resides
with the Product Design Manager (the Fuel Designer). 
  
 6.2 The Contract
Specification is set out in Appendix 3. 
  
 6.3 In respect of any proposed changes
(change being defined in Section 3 of the Contract Specification) to the Fuel design, manufacturing specifications or process routes (whether at Springfields or at its subcontractor’s premises) which change may result in
Fuel which may deviate from the Contract Specification, BNFL shall maintain an auditable procedure to manage the said changes. Within this system, BNFL shall review proposed changes to establish their acceptability or otherwise. Proposed
changes which are acceptable to BNFL shall be categorised by BNFL in line with the requirements of the Contract Specification and as follows: 
  
 Category A: A minor change, defined as one having no impact on any of the functional performance of the Fuel, the Fuel safety case or the overall Fuel
quality. 
  
 Category B: A major change, defined as one having an
impact or potential impact on any one (or more) of the Fuel functional performance, the Fuel safety case or the overall Fuel quality. 
  
 The staff authorised for the above mentioned review and categorisation of changes shall be competent and such competence shall be demonstrable through BNFL’s quality assurance
system as referred to in Clause 9.1 and Appendix 7. 
  
 6.4 Full records relating to changes
and to decisions on categorisation of changes shall be retained by BNFL in accordance with the Agreed records schedule (as referred to in Paragraph 8 of Appendix 7) and shall be available for review or audit, pursuant to Clause 6.6, by BEG in order
for it to be satisfied that BNFL is acting in a proper and responsible manner. 
  
 6.5 All
Category B changes shall be submitted in writing to BEG for its approval prior to implementation by BNFL. BNFL shall not implement a Category B change without the said approval of BEG in writing. BNFL shall provide supporting information as
reasonably required by BEG for it to arrive at an informed decision as to whether or not to approve the Category B changes. BNFL shall confirm in respect of any change that, immediately following such change and thereafter, Fuel Elements will be (i)
acceptable for Reprocessing, and (ii) based on the best understanding at the time of such change, acceptable for Storage. All said approvals or rejections shall be made in writing. BEG shall use reasonable endeavours to effect a timely response. Any
change that is implemented shall be deemed to be approved by BNFL. 
  

 27 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 6.6 BNFL shall maintain a list of all proposed and implemented Category A and B changes, (i.e. changes classified pursuant to
Clause 6.3 by suitably qualified and authorised persons) together with those intended changes formally proposed for approval and which are under consideration and submit it to BEG monthly or as mutually Agreed. Assessment of each Category A change
will be completed and details thereof submitted to BEG prior to the first scheduled delivery date for Fuel affected by the change. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be BNFL’s responsibility to satisfy itself that each and every proposed
Category A change has been properly assessed pursuant to Clause 6.3 prior to the delivery of any Fuel subject to such change. In the event that Fuel subject to any Category A change is delivered to BEG and BEG for any reason considers the change or
change categorisation to be unacceptable, then such Fuel shall be deemed non-compliant with the Contract Specification. 
  
 6.7 BEG shall have the right to: 
  

	 	6.7.1	 	undertake surveillance of manufacturing processes at Springfields and/or at BNFL’s subcontractors’ premises for the purpose of making an informed decision on whether or not to
approve Category B changes and to confirm that the procedures in place for reviewing, categorising and implementing changes are satisfactory and being worked to. Such surveillance shall not be exercised in an unreasonable manner and shall be limited
to those plants and processes relevant, in the reasonable opinion of BEG, to the change. Surveillance of subcontractors shall be undertaken only in conjunction with BNFL staff and to the extent that BNFL is able to secure such access with its
suppliers. In cases where BNFL does not have contractual right of access to suppliers, it shall use all reasonable endeavours to secure such access for BEG, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that such rights are incorporated into its
contracts with suppliers on contract review; and 

  

	 	6.7.2	 	audit the systems in place at BNFL for the purpose of reviewing and categorising any proposed or implemented changes. Such audit shall include but not be limited to confirmation that the
staff employed in making decisions on BNFL’s behalf are competent to do so. 

  
 Such rights are without prejudice to BEG’s existing contractual rights of access to BNFL and its subcontractors. 
  
 6.8 In the event that such surveillance/audit shows in BEG’s reasonable opinion that BNFL is not acting in accordance with the procedures, including BNFL’s quality
assurance system as referred to in Clause 9.1 and Appendix 7, BNFL, BEG and where appropriate BEG(UK) shall forthwith consult to agree corrective actions and the timescale for implementation to ensure compliance as soon as reasonably practicable. In
respect of any changes implemented prior to the said audit which in BEG’s reasonable opinion render the Fuel non-conformant (as defined in Paragraph 10(a) of Appendix 7), BEG shall have the right to reject any affected Fuel and BNFL shall
identify and bond such Fuel (and any affected Fuel components) at Springfields pending resolution of the issue. No further changes shall be implemented until BEG is satisfied that adequate procedures have been implemented. 
  
 6.9 In the event of a proposed change to the Contract Specification, the Party requesting the change
shall make available all relevant information to the other to enable it to make an informed decision. 
  
 6.10 In the event that BEG can demonstrate to BNFL’s reasonable satisfaction that any changes adopted pursuant to this Clause 6 do or will result in the discharge burn-ups above the design Fuel Stringer mean irradiation
referred to in Clause 13.3.6 (subject to increase in accordance with Clause 13.3.8) not being achieved or do or will result in any reduction in Reactor performance or the ability to handle Fuel or any adverse impact on the safety cases, then:

  

	 	6.10.1	 	if the said change were a Category A change, BNFL shall, at its own cost, amend or reverse such change to result in the said deficiencies being rectified; and 

  

 28 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	6.10.2	 	if the said change were a Category B change, BNFL and BEG shall amend or reverse such change to result in the said deficiencies being rectified, the cost of such amendment or reversal to be
borne: 

  

	 	(a)	 	by BNFL to the extent that any such deficiency arose due to any failing in an assessment, carried out by or on behalf of BNFL, of the impact of such change; and 

  

	 	(b)	 	by BEG to the extent that any such deficiency arose due to any failing in an assessment, carried out by or on behalf of BEG, of the impact of such change. 

  
 In the event that any such change as aforesaid is amended or reversed, all Fuel
manufactured by BNFL prior to such amendment or reversal shall be, or be deemed to be, capable of having Reprocessing or Storage carried out on such Fuel for the purpose of both the Historic Spent Fuel Agreement and the New Spent Fuel Agreement.

  
 Both BNFL and BEG shall use reasonable endeavours to assist each other
to achieve the least cost solution in the case of any of the above. 
  
 6.11 New Fuel
designs may be added to and obsolete Fuel designs may be removed from the Approved Product List on terms and conditions to be Agreed. Such terms and conditions shall include, without limitation, Agreement on a new Contract Specification for the new
Fuel designs. In reaching Agreement on new Fuel designs BEG and BNFL shall follow the procedures set out in Clause 6.12 and Appendix 18. Drawings on the Approved Product List may be amended at the request of BEG on terms and conditions to be Agreed.
The Approved Product List shall be made available to BEG as a controlled document. 
  
 6.12
If BEG requests a new Fuel design pursuant to Clause 6.11 BNFL shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in consultation with BEG propose a costed development programme, a timescale for introduction and a best estimate of the charge for supplying
Fuel of the requested new design. The proposed development costs will be Agreed. Immediately following completion of the development programme BEG and BNFL shall Agree a charge for the new Fuel which shall take into account the said estimated charge
together with the implications for costs of Fuel to the new design arising from the development programme. The timescale for supply of Fuel to the new design shall be as soon as reasonably practicable. 
  
 6.13 To assist in Fuel design and Reactor operation, BEG and BNFL agree to exchange certain technical
information as follows: 
  

	 	6.13.1	 	BEG will accept from BNFL any reasonable request for PIE data and, as a minimum, it will make available at no charge PIE and Fuel performance information reasonably required by BNFL to meet
its obligations during the Fuel Supply Period. In addition, BEG will grant BNFL facilities to discuss the programme for the said PIE. 

  

	 	6.13.2	 	BNFL will accept from BEG any reasonable request for Fuel manufacturing data and materials property data and as a minimum it will make available at no charge any Fuel manufacturing and
materials property data reasonably required by BEG for the purposes of Fuel development and PIE activities. In addition BNFL shall grant to BEG facilities to discuss detailed drawings, material and other specifications and processes and shall
provide BEG with copies of drawings and other information that BEG can reasonably demonstrate are necessary for the safe and efficient operation of its AGR Power Stations. 

  

	 	6.13.3	 	BNFL will notify BEG if it intends to undertake examination of irradiated Fuel following storage in ponds and will provide BEG with the results of any such examination.


  
 6.14 Wherever in this Clause 6 there is a provision for BNFL and BEG to
Agree on a charge or any other matter and they fail to Agree, the said charge or other matter shall be settled in accordance with Clause 27.

 7.1 Subject to Clauses 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.7 and 21 of this Agreement and to Clauses 7.2, 7.3, 7.5, and 22 of the BEG(UK) Agreement, the total combined quantity of Fuel required
by BEG under this Agreement and BEG(UK) under the BEG(UK) Agreement for any twelve month period of the Fuel Supply Period shall be within the range of 2850 to 6100 Fuel Elements inclusive together with associated Ancillary Components. 
  
 7.2 Notwithstanding Clause 7.1, BEG and BEG(UK) together may change between any of the Fuel Element
ranges set out in Appendix 5, subject to: 
  

	 	7.2.1	 	six months’ notice being given prior to the placing of a Fuel order which would effect such change; and 

  

	 	7.2.2	 	any such change of range remaining in effect for a period of at least twelve months following the notice referred to in Clause 7.2.1, but for the avoidance of doubt, such change of range may
remain in effect for a longer period. 

  
 The above ranges shall relate to any
twelve month period and shall include associated Ancillary Components. BEG shall be allowed to give a lesser period of notice of a Fuel Element range change than the said six months and the requirements range shall be adjusted subject to BNFL being
so able to do and subject to BEG paying BNFL’s reasonably demonstrable costs (if any) arising from such a reduction of period of notice (subject to BNFL mitigating said costs). 
  
 7.3 Notwithstanding Clause 7.2, BNFL shall, subject to manufacturing capability, supply Fuel Elements above the maximum of the ranges specified in
Clause 7.2 if so requested by BEG provided that the additional amount is minor and in any such event BEG shall not be treated as if it had moved into a higher Fuel Element range, subject to: 
  

	 	7.3.1	 	such requests being exercised in a reasonable manner by BEG. For the avoidance of doubt, if in BNFL’s reasonable opinion requests are unreasonable BNFL shall notify BEG of the same and
BEG may at its discretion advise BNFL that it is either prepared to comply with Clause 7.2 or no longer wishes to move above the relevant range maximum; 

  

	 	7.3.2	 	BEG paying BNFL’s reasonable demonstrable costs (if any) in respect of such minor excursion. 

  
 7.4 Notwithstanding Clauses 7.1 and 7.2, BNFL shall endeavour within its production capacity to comply with any changes to Fuel Element and associated
Ancillary Component requirements from BEG outside the defined ranges subject to Agreement as to charges, such charges to be demonstrably fair and reasonable to BEG and BNFL. 
  
 7.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 7.1 but subject to the provisions of Clause 21: 
  

	 	7.5.1	 	if any Reactor is temporarily taken out of commission or cannot be refuelled for a continuous period of six months or more BEG shall not be obliged to order Fuel which is not required as a
result of such outage and the Fuel requirements range in place at the time of the outage if not already amended pursuant to Clauses 7.1 or 7.2 to take account of this event shall be reduced pro rata at BEG’s option for so long as such Reactor
remains out of commission or cannot be refuelled; or 

  

	 	7.5.2	 	if any Reactor is permanently shut down the Fuel requirements range in place at the time of permanent shutdown if not already amended pursuant to Clauses 7.1 or 7.2 to take account of this
event shall at BEG’s option be reduced by an amount equal to BEG’s reasonable estimate of the amount of Fuel which would have been required for that Reactor had it remained in commission; or

Appendix 15. 

  

	 	7.6.2	 	BEG shall provide on a monthly basis coincident with Fuel ordering, forecasts of the Fuel requirements for such a period that a combination of forecasts and firm orders are provided for the
higher of 12 months and (n+3) months. The forecasts shall as a minimum detail 

  

 31 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	    	 	BEG’s Fuel requirements by Assay on a monthly basis. BEG shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the forecasts accurately reflect its expected Fuel requirements.


  

	 	7.6.3	 	BNFL shall place orders for Uranic Elements in accordance with contractual notice periods to ensure that Uranium Material is available to make deliveries of Fuel Elements as required by BEG.


  

	 	7.6.4	 	For the purpose of the supply of Uranium Material, the forecast described in this Clause 7 will be considered fixed and firm. 

  

	 	7.6.5	 	After the end of each month, BNFL will prepare a forecast of Stock Cover values for the following 12 months, using material delivery data from firm orders placed with suppliers and the latest
Fuel order forecast from BEG provided pursuant to this Clause 7. 

  

	 	7.6.6	 	Should the value of the Stock Cover forecast at the end of the first month of the forecast exceed the Stock Cover Trigger, to the extent that the resulting increase is due to a reduction in
BEG’s Fuel order for that first month of the forecast from the BEG Fuel forecast given for the same month 12 months previously, BEG agrees to purchase from BNFL Enriched Uranium Material with a book value equal to the amount by which the value
of the Stock Cover forecast exceeds the Stock Cover Trigger. For the avoidance of doubt, the total such excess shall be purchased by BEG under this Agreement and BEG(UK) under the BEG(UK) Agreement combined, and the respective portions of such total
excess to be purchased by BEG and BEG(UK) shall be decided jointly between BEG and BEG(UK). 

  

	 	7.6.7    (a)	 	The purchase price for such Enriched Uranium Material shall be calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 of Appendix 21 and invoiced in accordance with Clause 5.1.2 and shall be treated as Uo
for the purposes of invoicing and payment. 

  

	 	(b)	 	Title to all material purchased by BEG in accordance with this Clause 7.6.7 shall pass to BEG on the first Working Day of the month following the month of the relevant forecast. For the
avoidance of doubt, all risk in the material shall remain with BNFL until risk in the relevant Fuel passes to BEG pursuant to Clause 12.9. 

  

	 	(c)	 	BNFL shall not utilise any Enriched Uranium Material purchased by BEG pursuant to this Clause 7.6.7 without the prior consent of BEG (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
In the event BNFL wishes to utilise Enriched Uranium Material pursuant to this Clause 7.6.7(c), BNFL shall purchase such material from BEG and BEG shall sell such material to BNFL. In no event shall BEG be obliged to sell more material to BNFL than
BEG has purchased pursuant to Clause 7.6.7(a). 

  

	 	(d)	 	BNFL shall use reasonable endeavours to repurchase the relevant Enriched Uranium Material before taking delivery of additional Enriched Uranium Material under the Contracts or any New
Contract. 

  
 7.7 BNFL agrees to consider requests for changes in requirements
and types of Fuel ordered pursuant to Clause 7.6 and shall endeavour to comply with such requests on terms and conditions to be Agreed. 
  
 7.8 BNFL and BEG shall use their reasonable endeavours to reduce the period referred to in Clause 7.6 to the third Month in accordance with the revised programme developed in
accordance with Annex 3 of Appendix 9 to this Agreement. 
  
 7.9 During October of each Year
of the Fuel Supply Period, BEG shall, on a non-binding basis, provide an estimate of its requirements for the period beginning the following October and extending over the lifetime of each station. Such estimate shall show: 
  

	 	7.9.1	 	for the following twelve months estimated detailed requirements on a Month by Month basis of Fuel (types and Assays) and Ancillary Components; and

	8.	 	WARRANTY 

  
 8.1 BNFL shall provide Fuel which is free of defective materials and workmanship and in accordance with the Contract Specification and the quality assurance arrangements in Appendix 7. BNFL undertakes to maintain control of its
manufacturing processes. 
  
 8.2 The warranties set forth in this Clause 8 are in lieu of
all other warranties whether statutory, express or implied including all warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose and all warranties arising from a course of dealing or usage of trade. 
  
 8.3 If BEG wishes to transfer title in any Fuel delivered hereunder to any third party (other than
BEG(UK) while BEG(UK) is still a BEG Group Company) it shall obtain for BNFL written assurances from the transferee of limitation of and protection against liability following the proposed transfer at least equivalent to that afforded BNFL under the
provisions of this Agreement. In the event of a transfer contrary to the provisions hereof, in addition to any other legal or equitable rights of BNFL, BEG shall indemnify BNFL against any liabilities incurred by BNFL in excess of those that would
have been incurred had no such transfer taken place. Any transfer of title from BEG to BEG(UK) while BEG(UK) is still a BEG Group Company shall be treated as a delivery from the Central Store to a BEG(UK) AGR Power Station pursuant to Appendix 16
and therefore the relevant remedies, warranty and limitation of liability provisions of the fuel supply agreement relating to the Fuel in question will be those contained in the fuel supply agreement of the party taking ultimate delivery to its
advanced gas-cooled reactor power station. 
  

	9.	 	QUALITY ASSURANCE 

  
 9.1 Appendix 7 describes the quality assurance arrangements established by BNFL which meet the applicable requirement of BS-EN-ISO 9000-2000 and which will be implemented for the performance of this Agreement. In addition BNFL is committed

BEG shall use reasonable endeavours to return said Packaging promptly. 
  
 10.3 If the
return of the Packaging is delayed beyond four months from the date of its arrival at an AGR Power Station or from the due date of such arrival, whichever is the later, BNFL shall after consultation with BEG purchase additional Packaging, in so far
as it is necessary to meet the requirements of this Agreement and BEG shall pay to BNFL the reasonable cost of such additional Packaging, which Packaging shall remain the property of BNFL. 
  

	11.	 	STORAGE 

  
 11.1 BEG shall provide a suitable store at each AGR Power Station for the storage of Fuel under such conditions as are not likely to impair the quality. BEG shall grant to BNFL reasonable facilities at mutually convenient times to inspect
the store to ensure that the provisions of this Clause have been and are being observed. 
  
 11.2 BNFL agrees to store during the Fuel Supply Period as requested by and on behalf of BEG, Fuel Elements in accordance with the terms laid down in Appendix 16. 
  
 11.3 If at any time during the Fuel Supply Period BEG requests BNFL to store Fuel in excess of the maximum quantity specified in Appendix 16, BNFL
shall provide accommodation suitable for the storage of said Fuel on its own premises if BNFL determines that suitable accommodation is available. Charges for such storage pursuant to this Clause 11.3 shall be Agreed from time to time and be
demonstrably fair and reasonable to both parties. 
  
 11.4 In respect of Fuel stored
pursuant to Clauses 11.2 and 11.3 BNFL shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the safe custody of such Fuel in storage. BNFL shall be liable for all injury or damage arising from any occurrence involving nuclear matter but subject thereto shall
not be liable for any loss or damage to the said Fuel, howsoever caused (other than by reason of the negligence or wilful default of BNFL, its servants or agents). The containers shall be suitably and sufficiently marked by BNFL to indicate that the
Fuel therein is the property of BEG and BNFL shall grant to BEG reasonable facilities to carry out such periodical sample inspection of the containers as may be agreed. 
  
 11.5 In the second week of each month BNFL shall provide a statement of Fuel held in store on BEG’s behalf pursuant to Clauses 11.2 and 11.3 as
of the last Day in the preceding month. The said statement shall be in the form shown in Appendix 11 or as otherwise Agreed. 
  
 11.6 Where Fuel Elements are returned to BNFL under Clauses 13.1.1 or 13.1.2 BNFL shall store the said Fuel Elements until actions to rectify the Fuel Elements or recover the
uranium from the Fuel Elements are initiated. Such storage shall be in addition to that provided for in Clause 11.2. 
  

	12.	 	TRANSPORT AND DELIVERY 

  
 12.1 Subject to Clauses 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4, BNFL shall deliver Fuel in accordance with the Monthly delivery schedules for each AGR Power Station for each Year during the Fuel Supply Period, as specified in the plan set out in
Appendix 12. As soon as reasonably practicable and from time to time during the Fuel Supply Period, BEG and BNFL shall review the provisions of this Clause 12.1 in order to permit flexible delivery patterns consistent with all of BEG’s AGR
Power Station requirements, minimisation of BNFL costs and any related joint improvement activities. 
  
 12.2 BNFL may at any time give at least one month’s notice from the scheduled delivery date that delivery cannot be made on the scheduled Day and provide in such notice at least two alternative days for such delivery
within two weeks of the scheduled Day. In such case BEG may accept delivery on any one of the said alternative days or at its option postpone such delivery until the scheduled delivery Day in the following Month. 
  
 12.3 BEG may at any time give at least one month’s notice from the scheduled delivery date that
delivery cannot be accepted on the scheduled Day and provide in such notice at least two alternative days for such 
  

 34 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 delivery within two weeks of the scheduled Day. In such case BNFL may deliver on any one of the said alternative days or at its
option postpone such delivery until the scheduled delivery Day in the following Month. 
  
 12.4 BEG and BNFL may Agree a revised delivery date in any Month for their mutual convenience. 
  
 12.5 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 11.3 BEG shall not be liable to pay any storage charges and notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 12.4 BNFL shall not be liable to pay liquidated damages in both cases arising
from the postponed delivery of Fuel in accordance with Clauses 12.2 and 12.3. 
  
 12.6 BNFL
acknowledges that failure to make a delivery of Fuel which meets the provisions of Clause 8.1 to BEG on time in accordance with this Agreement could cause BEG substantial losses as a result of the delay or loss of use including, without limitation,
generation losses. BEG and BNFL agree that the liquidated damages set out in Clause 12.7 are a pre-estimate of the minimum extent of loss likely to be incurred by BEG in the event of a failure by BNFL to deliver on time and as aforesaid. 

 
 12.7 Subject to Clause 12.5 if any deliveries of Fuel Elements are made more than two weeks after
the due delivery date (or revised delivery date Agreed pursuant to Clause 12.4) in accordance with Clauses 12.1 and/or 12.2 and/or 12.3 as the case may be or the Fuel Elements delivered does not meet the provisions of Clause 8.1 for any reason other
than the default of BEG, its servants or agents and subject always to Clause 21, BNFL shall pay BEG liquidated damages for each week or part thereof beyond the due date that such Fuel Element delivery is delayed or for each week or part thereof from
notification of any failure to meet the provisions of Clause 8.1 until such failure is remedied in accordance with Clause 13.1 or such Fuel Elements are delivered: 
  

	 	12.7.1	 	in respect of each Fuel Element at a rate of £128.74 per Fuel Element for the first 16 weeks after such delivery is delayed or notification of failure to meet the provisions of Clause
8.1 is made; and 

  

	 	12.7.2	 	thereafter BNFL will pay an additional sum so that the total liquidated damages paid (i) for Ancillary Components is equivalent to the total price of such Ancillary Components and (ii) for
fuel elements is equivalent to an amount calculated in accordance with the formula below: 

  

	 	    	 	

 

  

	 	    	 	where: 

  

	 	Z=	 	total liquidated damages payable; 

  

	 	D=	 	quantity of BEG Fuel Elements delayed or not delivered in compliance with the provisions of Clause 8.1; 

  

	 	R=	 	Combined requirements in Fuel Elements for BEG and BEG(UK) for the Year in which the said due delivery date falls; and 

  

	 	    	 	Bo, A1 and D2 are as defined in Appendix 5. 

  
 This Clause 12.7 shall not apply in the event that, and to the extent that, BNFL demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of BEG that its inability to deliver Fuel to BEG is
solely and directly caused by the forecasts provided by BEG pursuant to Clause 7.6.2 resulting in insufficient Enriched UF6 being available for the manufacture of Fuel for delivery to BEG in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 12.8 All liquidated damages payable pursuant to this Clause 12 shall be escalated from 1 July 2002
until the date when such liquidated damages become due in accordance with the formula set out in Appendix 6. 
  

 35 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 12.9 Delivery of the Fuel together with any Packaging shall be effected on the passage of each consignment in through the gates
of the relevant AGR Power Station. Property and risk in the Fuel and risk in any Packaging shall pass to BEG at whichever is the earlier of the following events: 
  

	 	12.9.1	 	the delivery of the Fuel as aforesaid; or 

  

	 	12.9.2	 	the marking of the containers in accordance with Clause 11.4 (subject to the provisions as to nuclear liability described therein); or 

  

	 	12.9.3	 	the delivery of the Fuel to the Central Store provided always that risk therein shall revert to BNFL when the Fuel is removed from storage for transport to the relevant AGR Power Station and
shall finally pass to BEG pursuant to Clause 12.9.1 and that risk in any Fuel stored by BNFL which is potentially or proves to be not in compliance with Clause 8.1 shall revert forthwith to BNFL until compliance with Clause 8.1 is Agreed.


  
 12.10 BNFL shall be responsible for: 
  

	 	12.10.1	 	the transport of the Fuel to the Central Store; 

  

	 	12.10.2	 	the transport of Packaging to Springfields in pursuance of Clause 10.2; 

  

	 	12.10.3	 	the transport of faulty or damaged Fuel to Springfields in pursuance of Clauses 13.1 and 13.2; 

  

	 	12.10.4	 	certification that items delivered from Springfields to AGR Power Stations including but not limited to Fuel and its Packaging shall be clean and decontaminated in accordance with the
applicable International Atomic Energy Agency transport regulations; 

  

	 	12.10.5	 	providing the necessary clearances and documentation for Fuel transport containers to enable BEG to act as consignor for unirradiated Fuel (including faulty and damaged Fuel) from AGR Power
Stations; 

  

	 	12.10.6	 	insurance of the Fuel and Packaging during any transport pursuant to this Clause; and 

  

	 	12.10.7	 	ensuring that suitable security measures are in place in accordance with BNFL policy and to demonstrate to BEG that the said BNFL policy complies with the Security Regulations in force from
time to time and to advise BEG, as soon as reasonably practicable, of any changes in said BNFL policy. 

  
 12.11 BEG shall be responsible for: 
  

	 	12.11.1	 	off-loading the packed containers into the store, referred to in Clause 11.1, as soon as possible after the arrival of each consignment;

	 	12.11.3	 	packing and loading faulty or damaged Fuel for transport to Springfields; and 

  

	 	12.11.4	 	certification that items returned from AGR Power Stations to Springfields including but not limited to Fuel and its Packaging shall be clean and decontaminated in accordance with the
applicable International Atomic Energy Agency transport regulations. 

  
 Risk
in the items specified in Clauses 12.11.2 and 12.11.3 shall revert to BNFL when the vehicle carrying them passes out through the gates of the appropriate AGR Power Station. 
  
 12.12 If any container on delivery is found to have sustained visible damage, BEG shall forthwith inform BNFL and return the damaged container to
Springfields at BNFL’s expense. If any container on arrival at the store referred to in Clause 11.1 is found to have sustained visible damage, the container shall be set aside 
  

 36 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 in the store and as soon as practicable thereafter shall be opened in the presence of a representative nominated by BNFL for
the purpose of jointly inspecting the container and its contents with a representative nominated by BEG to assess the extent of the damage. If after inspection the Fuel inside the container is found to conform with the Contract Specification, BEG
shall accept the Fuel. If after inspection, the Fuel is found not to conform with the Contract Specification, then either: 
  

	 	12.12.1	 	subject to Clause 12.12.3, the Fuel shall be returned to Springfields as soon as reasonably practicable at BNFL’s expense and the provisions of Clause 13.1 shall apply; or


  

	 	12.12.2	 	subject to BEG’s Agreement and Clause 12.12.3, BNFL shall submit a concession application in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 10 of Appendix 7 and pending BEG’s approval
or rejection of the said application, BEG shall have the option of retaining the Fuel in the aforementioned store or returning the Fuel to Springfields in accordance with Clause 12.12.1. In the event that BEG rejects the concession application, the
Fuel shall be returned to Springfields in accordance with Clause 12.12.1 and the provisions of Clause 13.1 shall apply. 

  

	 	12.12.3	 	BNFL’s cost and liabilities referred to in this Clause 12.12 shall be waived in the event that the said damage was caused by BEG following delivery as aforesaid.


  
 12.13 All containers which have not sustained any visible damage shall,
except for such periodical sample inspection as may be Agreed, be left closed (excluding opening for the purposes of a Euratom inspection) in the said store except when it is necessary to prepare the Fuel immediately before loading into a Reactor
or, after written notice to BNFL, immediately before testing any plant. If any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component is in the opinion of BEG not in accordance with the Contract Specification when it is being prepared for loading, BEG shall inform
BNFL within three Working Days of forming that opinion and shall set aside such Fuel Element or Ancillary Component suitably packed in a container for joint inspection as soon as possible to establish whether or not it complies with the Contract
Specification and if not in what way it does not comply. 
  
 12.14 The preparation of Fuel
for loading into a Reactor shall be carried out by and at the expense of BEG at the appropriate AGR Power Station. BEG shall give to authorised representatives of BNFL such facilities as may be Agreed in order that BNFL may satisfy itself regarding
the standards adopted by BEG in carrying out such preparation but BNFL shall have no responsibility for any damage to the Fuel which may occur during such preparation unless caused or contributed to as a result of the negligence or wilful default of
BNFL, its servants or agents or failure of the Fuel to meet the Contract Specification. 
  
 12.15 BNFL shall provide to BEG for information, copies of the current AGR Fuel Package Transport Approval Certificates, together with such supporting information as BEG reasonably requires, including but not limited to handling and packing
instructions and essential maintenance instructions. 
  

	13.	 	FAULTY FUEL 

  
 13.1 If, as soon as reasonably practicable, before irradiation BEG demonstrates or BNFL advises that any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component does not comply with the Contract Specification unless such non-compliance is caused by the
negligence or wilful default of BEG, its servants or agents or as a result of deterioration of the Fuel resulting from storage at BEG sites after unpacking then unless BEG grants approval to accept said non-conforming Fuel under a concession
pursuant to Paragraph 10 of Appendix 7, BNFL shall at its discretion, and as soon as reasonably practicable, either: 
  

	 	13.1.1	 	rectify the Fuel Element or Ancillary Component either at Springfields or, subject to BEG’s approval, at the relevant AGR Power Station. All such rectification shall be in conformance
with the quality assurance arrangements specified in Appendix 7 or such other arrangements as may be approved by BEG in such a manner so that it complies with the Contract Specification; or 


	

  
  

 37 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	13.1.2	 	replace the Fuel Element or Ancillary Component provided that it has been returned to BNFL; 

  
 and subject to Clause 13.4 shall bear the cost of rectification or replacement as the case may be including any uranic recovery costs
PROVIDED THAT, subject to the consent of BEG, BNFL may, in respect of any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component returned to them under this Clause and instead of the alternatives set out in Clauses 13.1.1 and 13.1.2, credit with a sum which shall, in
the case of a Fuel Element, take into account the charge which would have been payable for and appropriate to the Fuel Element if it had been due for delivery on the date on which it was so returned (including all charges associated with the supply
of Uranic Elements by BNFL to BEG) or, in the case of an Ancillary Component, take into account the charge which would have been payable for the Ancillary Component if it had been due for delivery as aforesaid. For the avoidance of doubt BNFL shall
be responsible for the recovery of the Enriched UO2 content of the Fuel so affected including any Process Losses and shall carry out such recovery in a timely manner. If for reasons solely attributable to BNFL, BNFL does not recover the Enriched UO2
content of the Fuel it shall reduce the quantity of Stock Cover by such amount. 
  
 In the event that BNFL elects to rectify or replace Fuel as specified in Clauses 13.1.1 and 13.1.2, it shall be deemed not to have been delivered until such rectification or replacement has been carried out and the Fuel delivered to BEG.
Accordingly, the provisions of Clause 12.7 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, when such Fuel is replaced by BNFL, BNFL shall not invoice BEG and BEG shall not be required to pay to BNFL, Uo or Vo in respect of such Fuel, except in the case of
Uo and Vo applying to differences in the uranium weight of the returned Fuel and the replacement Fuel. Where the uranium weight of the returned Fuel is different from the uranium weight of the replacement Fuel, Uo and Vo shall apply to such
difference. 
  
 13.2 If so requested by BEG, BNFL shall take all reasonable
steps to rectify, either at Springfields or the relevant AGR Power Station, as BEG and BNFL may Agree, any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component which has been damaged in the course of handling by BEG to conform the same to the Contract Specification
or such other specifications as may be Agreed. The terms and conditions of acceptance for rectification and the charges thereof and associated costs of transport and insurance shall be Agreed. Any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component accepted by BNFL
for rectification under this Clause shall (where appropriate) be returned to Springfields suitably packed by BEG and at BEG’s expense. 
  
 13.3 If during the irradiation of Fuel in a Reactor or in the two Years following its removal from the Reactor BEG or BNFL has cause to believe that Fuel does not comply with the
Contract Specification, then that Party shall inform the other of this as soon as is reasonably practicable, and, after consultation, BEG shall take such actions as BEG deems necessary to minimise the cost to BEG of such non-compliance and the
following shall apply and at BEG’s expense. 
  
 Fuel which fails in service shall be
deemed non-compliant with the Contract Specification and the factor F (set out in Clause 13.3.3) shall have the value of 1, provided that BEG has provided to BNFL evidence that such Fuel has not been subject to abnormal stresses in the Reactor. The
said evidence shall be based on performance analysis of operational data (but for the avoidance of doubt shall not require BEG to submit such Fuel to Post Irradiation Examination) and must show, inter alia, that any failed Fuel has not been over
pressurised as a result of increased fission gas release within its Fuel Pins. 
  

	 	13.3.1	 	If pursuant to Clause 13.3 BEG and BNFL cannot Agree that such failed Fuel is non-compliant then the following shall apply: 

  

	 	    	 	BEG shall provide to BNFL evidence of non-compliance of Fuel with the Contract Specification and BEG and BNFL shall Agree on the extent of the deviation from the Contract Specification. If
BEG and BNFL cannot Agree that the Fuel does not comply with the Contract Specification or the extent of a deviation therefrom BEG or BNFL shall have the option to have PIE carried out on any such Fuel to ascertain whether the Fuel meets the
Contract Specification or, in the case of a deviation, the extent of that deviation. Except in 

  

 38 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	    	 	the event that the severity of the failure of the Fuel requires BEG to immediately subject the said Fuel to PIE, in which case BEG shall inform BNFL as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter and shall consult as PIE proceeds, the Party exercising the option shall first consult with the other Party regarding the PIE work programme. The Party exercising the option shall be responsible for the costs of the said PIE unless the
results support the case of that Party in which instance the other Party shall pay. 

  

	 	13.3.2	 	Whenever there is a deviation from the Contract Specification, BEG and BNFL shall agree a factor F (as set out in the formula specified in Clause 13.3.3) which shall determine the allocation
to BNFL of responsibility for deterioration in Fuel performance, taking into account the relative contribution to the deterioration of any deviation from the Contract Specification and any effects attributable to the Reactor in which the Fuel was
irradiated being either shutdown or operated both in a manner which could not have reasonably been anticipated by BNFL at the time the Fuel was manufactured to meet the Contract Specification. 

  

	 	13.3.3	 	If BEG discharges any Fuel from a Reactor consequent upon a deviation from the Contract Specification BNFL shall credit BEG with a sum which for each Fuel Stringer discharged shall be
calculated in accordance with the following formula: 

  
 R = P x A x F 
  
 where: 

 
 R = sum credited; 
  
 P = (P1 + P2) where

  

	 	P1=	 	Bo as defined in Appendix 5 and escalated in accordance with the formula set out in Appendix 6 to the month of discharge multiplied
by the number of Fuel Elements in the Fuel Stringer; 

  

	 	P2=	 	the price paid by BEG for Ancillary Components associated with the discharged Fuel Stringer, where BEG can reasonably demonstrate
that such Ancillary Components cannot be re-used; 

  

	 	A=	 	IF—IA 


	 	


   IF 
  

	 	IF=	 	design Fuel Stringer mean irradiation specified in Clauses 13.3.6 and 13.3.7 as may be amended from time to time pursuant to Clause
13.3.8; 

  

	 	IA=	 	actual Fuel Stringer mean irradiation achieved on discharge; 

  

	 	F=	 	responsibility factor determined in Clause 13.3.2. 

  

	 	13.3.4	 	In addition BNFL shall, at its sole discretion and at no cost to BEG, reprocess or store a quantity of Fuel (Q) in respect of each of the aforementioned discharged Fuel Stringers calculated
in accordance with the following formula: 

  
 Q = T x A x F 
  
 where: 
  
 T = total quantity of Fuel in each discharged Fuel Stringer.

  

 39 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	    	 	Such reprocessing or storage under this Clause 13 by BNFL shall be undertaken in accordance with the terms and conditions of (a) the Historic Spent Fuel Agreement, for any Historic Spent Fuel
or (b) the New Spent Fuel Agreement, for any New Spent Fuel. 

  

	 	13.3.5	 	If in the event of a non-compliance with the Contract Specification Fuel is not discharged, but BEG incurs costs in consequence of the said non-compliance other than those costs relating to
administration or Fuel handling as are referred to and more particularly described in Clause 13.4 then BNFL shall credit BEG with a sum equal to that incurred by BEG but not greater than R where R is calculated by the formula in Clause 13.3.3 except
that IA = actual irradiation of Fuel affected by deviation from the Contract Specification at the date of notification of the deviation and Bo is escalated in accordance with the formula set out in Appendix 6 to the Year of notification of
the said non-compliance. 

  

	 	13.3.6	 	Design Fuel Stringer mean irradiation shall be the lesser of 35GWd/tU and the mean Fuel Stringer irradiation that would have been achieved had failure not occurred. 


 

	 	13.3.7	 	[Not Used] 

  

	 	13.3.8	 	The design Fuel Stringer mean irradiation shall be increased above the limits specified in Clause 13.3.6 as Agreed between BEG and BNFL subject to BEG demonstrating to BNFL’s reasonable
satisfaction, the granting of which shall not be unduly withheld or delayed, that any failure at an increased irradiation is due to non-conformance with the Contract Specification, said demonstration to include where necessary inter alia sufficient
PIE data to demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the Fuel at the increased irradiation. 

  

	 	13.3.9	 	If BEG and BNFL fail to Agree on a matter to which this Clause 13.3 relates it shall be settled in accordance with Clause 27. 

  
 13.4 Subject to Clause 13.5 BNFL shall bear BEG’s reasonably demonstrable direct costs arising as
a result of any non-compliance with the Contract Specification as specified in Clauses 13.1 and 13.3 and Paragraph 10 of Appendix 7. Such costs shall include, but not be limited to, the costs of technical evaluation of the non-compliant Fuel,
preparation of reports and modification proposals and their independent nuclear safety assessment under the Nuclear Site Licence Condition compliance arrangements and where appropriate processing concession applications pursuant to and in accordance
with Appendix 7. 
  
 13.5 The liability of BNFL in relation to any direct costs incurred by
BEG as specified in Clause 13.4 shall not exceed £236,107 in the two Year period from 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2008 and each subsequent two Year period thereafter, said sum to be subject to escalation from July 2002 in accordance with Appendix

	14.	 	OPERATING RECORDS 

  
 14.1 BEG shall keep adequate records to enable: 
  

	 	14.1.1	 	the date of loading into and of discharge from a Reactor of Fuel to be established; 

  

	 	14.1.2	 	the isotopic composition of Irradiated Fuel Elements to be calculated by an Agreed method; and 

  

	 	14.1.3	 	the operating conditions of the Fuel to be established during the period of irradiation commencing on the date of loading for all purposes in connection with Clause 13.


  
 BEG shall, pursuant to Clause 6.13.1, grant BNFL reasonable access to such
records and the data from which they were compiled and shall accord BNFL reasonable facilities to discuss such records and data with BEG and to observe the methods and equipment used by BEG in handling Fuel at each of the AGR Power Stations. The

 14.2 BNFL shall maintain the records relating to Fuel referred to in Paragraph 8 of Appendix 7. 
  

	15.	 	EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS 

  
 BEG and BNFL have Agreed a number of areas related to the supply of Fuel where they consider that there is the potential opportunity for further efficiency improvements and cost savings, as listed in Appendix 9. BEG and BNFL
recognise that achieving the same is in some cases dependent upon the co-operation of BEG(UK) and in such circumstances BEG and BNFL will work together with a view to securing such co-operation. BEG and BNFL anticipate that further such
opportunities for efficiency improvements and cost savings may arise over the period of this Agreement. BEG and BNFL undertake to work together in good faith on a continuous basis to identify, develop and exploit any such opportunities. 

 
 The provision of this Clause 15 shall not apply to the Uranic Elements Supply Component of this
Agreement except where: 
  

	(a)	 	they relate to proposed changes to all or part of the Uranic Elements Supply Component of this Agreement which could have an impact on all or part of the process of manufacturing of Fuel
Elements by BNFL; or 

  

	(b)	 	they relate to proposed changes to all or part of the process of manufacturing of Fuel Elements by BNFL which could have an impact on all or part of the Uranic Elements Supply Component of
this Agreement.

 16.3 Notwithstanding the generality of Clause 16.1 it is Agreed that BNFL shall have no
responsibility for any damage to any Reactor or for any damage to any other property of BEG or third party claim as a consequence of damage to a Reactor which may be attributable wholly or in part to any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component supplied
under this Agreement. 
  
 16.4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but
subject to paragraph 4.6 of Appendix 29, in respect of damage or injury to any person or property arising out of or resulting from ionising radiations or contamination by radioactivity, the liability of the Parties shall be governed by the Nuclear
Installations Act 1965, as amended, including any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof. For the avoidance of doubt Clauses 11.4 and 12.9 shall constitute written agreements to accept liability only to the extent Agreed in Clauses 11.4 and

enters into a further agreement in relation to this Agreement containing such reasonable provisions as the non-assigning Party would reasonably need to ensure that the intended assignee is able to carry out the obligations of this Agreement until
each and every obligation has been fully discharged. 

  
 20.2 It is
acknowledged and agreed by BE and BEG that BNFL may, upon or at any time after the establishment of the LMA, assign or part with or sub-contract any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to the LMA to the extent required by or as a

 44 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 21.3 If BNFL is prevented from delivering Fuel to one or more AGR Power Stations as a consequence of circumstances beyond its
reasonable control the charge Ao shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the quantity of Fuel delivered to AGR Power Stations and BEG shall be entitled to obtain from any other source such quantity of Fuel as BNFL is unable to deliver as
aforesaid. Notwithstanding the minimum quantity of Fuel that BEG is required to take in accordance with Clause 7.1 BEG will only be obliged to pay for actual Fuel delivered. Such quantity of Fuel as is obtained from another source shall for the
purposes only of BEG’s obligations pursuant to Clause 3.1 be deemed to have been supplied pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 21.4 If BNFL is unable to supply Fuel for a continuous period of three months BNFL will thereafter use its reasonable endeavours to acquire supplies of Fuel for BEG from
alternative sources. 
  
 21.5 If BNFL is unable to supply Fuel for a continuous period of

Fuel at reasonable prices from alternative sources. 
  
 21.6 If BEG is prevented from
receiving deliveries of Fuel at one or more AGR Power Stations under this Agreement as a consequence of circumstances beyond its reasonable control it shall not be obliged to place firm orders for Fuel pursuant to Clause 7.6 in respect of the AGR
Power Station or AGR Power Stations so affected for so long as it is so prevented from receiving deliveries. As soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so, BEG shall accept deliveries of all Fuel ordered by it which it was unable to accept as a
consequence of such circumstances. BEG shall continue to pay the monthly instalments of the charge Ao escalated in accordance with Appendix 6 but shall not be obliged to pay charges set out in Clause 4.12, in respect of Fuel not delivered which was
specifically ordered for the AGR Power Station so affected. 
  
 21.7 Each Party shall use
reasonable endeavours to avoid, remove or minimise all financial consequences, damage or other effect on the other Party as a result of any force majeure event. 
  

	22.	 	WAIVER 

  
 The waiver by any Party of a breach or default of any provisions of this Agreement by another Party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or other provisions nor shall any delay or omission on the part of
any Party to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privilege it has or may have hereunder operate as a waiver of any breach of default by another Party. 
  

	23.	 	NON-PERFORMANCE 

  
 23.1 If BNFL persistently commits any breach of contract and BEG serves notice on BNFL specifying such breach the Parties shall consult as to how such breach of contract shall be remedied and as to how similar breaches of contract can be
avoided in future. If BNFL fails to participate in such consultation or if after such consultation BNFL does not remedy such breach or continues to commit similar breaches of contract and as a result BEG can demonstrate that it has suffered
substantial loss including (but without limitation) loss of generation BEG shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement on such timescales as BEG considers will enable it to secure supplies from other sources. BNFL shall provide to BEG or as BEG
directs such reports, supporting information and the services of BNFL staff as BEG can reasonably demonstrate it may require to enable BEG to secure supplies from other sources. BEG shall not copy or disclose to third parties such information,
except to the extent that it is necessary to do so for such purposes. BNFL shall grant such licences as is necessary for such purposes. 
  
 23.2 BEG may terminate the Uranic Elements Supply Component of this Agreement, together with the arrangements relating to the Pass-Through Contracts or the Additional Pass-Through
Contracts pursuant to the Deed for the Sale and Purchase of Enriched and Natural Uranium Stocks and the rest of this Agreement shall continue unaffected: 
  

	 	23.2.1	 	with immediate effect if BNFL has failed to exercise reasonable care and reasonable diligence in fulfilling its material obligations in relation to the Uranic Elements Supply

 If any provision of this Agreement shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the other
provisions of this Agreement and all provisions not affected by such invalidity or unenforceability shall remain in full force and effect. Subject to Clauses 1.6.4 and 33.5, the Parties hereby agree to attempt to substitute for any invalid or
unenforceable provision a valid or enforceable provision which achieves to the greatest extent possible the economic, legal and commercial objectives of the invalid or unenforceable provision. 
  

	26.	 	LAW 

  
 This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law. 
  

	27.	 	DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

  
 27.1 Subject to Clause 27.3 and Clause 27.4, in the event a dispute, controversy or claim arises out of or in connection with this Agreement (including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination)
(Dispute), a Party may give the other Parties notice that a Dispute has arisen (a Dispute Notice). Following the service of the Dispute Notice the Parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to settle such Dispute
amicably within a period of 60 calendar days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree) starting from the date of receipt of the Dispute Notice by the relevant Party. In the event that the Parties are unable to settle any Dispute
within such 60 calendar day period (or such longer period), then such Dispute shall be referred for resolution by negotiation between the respective Chief Executives of BE and BNFL. If the Parties are unable to settle a Dispute by such negotiation
within 60 calendar days (or such longer period as the Parties may mutually agree) of it being referred to the Chief Executives, then such Dispute shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the terms of Clause 27.2. 
  
 27.2 Subject to Clause 27.1, any Dispute shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under
the LCIA Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Clause. The tribunal shall consist of one arbitrator. The seat of the arbitration shall be London. The language of the arbitration shall be English. 
  
 27.3 Any matter subject to determination by an Expert pursuant to Appendix 20 shall not be subject to
Clauses 27.1 and 27.2.

 27.5 Where any dispute or difference between
BEG and BNFL is in connection with Uo or the calculation of Uo, Vo, Wo and Xo, BEG and BNFL agree that the Pricing Principles shall form part of the agreed scope of reference of the Arbitrator (who, in respect of a dispute or difference under this
Clause 27.5, shall have appropriate experience in the uranics market) when dealing with such dispute or difference. 
  

	28.	 	NON-DISCRIMINATION 

  
 28.1 BNFL shall not during the term of this Agreement unreasonably discriminate against BEG in favour of any other party (including without limitation Magnox Electric plc) in respect of the performance by BNFL of any services
of the kind provided for under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Clause shall not relate to the terms on which relevant services are provided by BNFL to its other customers but shall be directed at the manner of performance of those
services by BNFL as between BEG and its other customers. 
  
 28.2 Without prejudice to the
generality of Clause 28.1, in the event that BNFL is unable, or foresees that it will be unable, to perform its obligations under this Agreement with the result that BEG is likely to suffer serious operational difficulties at its power stations in
circumstances where there are likely to be similar effects on third parties in the UK electricity generation market to whom BNFL owes similar obligations, BNFL shall: 
  

 47 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	28.2.1	 	forthwith consult with BEG and any relevant third party with a view to minimising the loss to and effect on operations of all concerned; and 

  

	 	28.2.2	 	BNFL shall not unreasonably discriminate in these circumstances against BEG in any way in favour of any such third party. 

  
 28.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, BNFL shall not in any event be obliged to compromise the safety of
its operations which shall be paramount. 
  
 28.4 If (for the purposes of Clauses 28.1 and
28.2) BEG has reasonable grounds to believe that BNFL has unreasonably discriminated in favour of such a third party, it shall notify BNFL in writing of the basis of its concerns. Following receipt of such notification: 
  

	 	28.4.1	 	BNFL and BEG shall meet as soon as possible (and in any event no later than four weeks after such receipt) to discuss the basis of BEG’s concerns; and 

  

	 	28.4.2	 	BNFL shall be obliged to provide to BEG all information reasonably necessary to demonstrate to BEG whether or not discrimination has taken place and BNFL shall not act unreasonably in this
regard. 

  
 28.5 If BNFL and BEG reach Agreement that BNFL has unreasonably
discriminated against BEG in favour of any third party, BNFL and BEG shall Agree an appropriate remedy to resolve the unreasonable discrimination. 
  
 28.6 Any failure by BNFL and BEG to reach Agreement on any aspect of this Clause shall be referred to an independent Arbitrator for resolution as provided for under Clause 27 of
this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Arbitrator shall have the right to call for whatever additional information he deems necessary from BNFL and BEG in order to provide the basis for his ruling.

 APPENDIX 5 
  
 PRICES PAYABLE FOR AGR FUEL SUPPLY 
  
 Part A 
  
 For so long as BEG and BEG(UK) together are loading Fuel into either Reactor of four or more of the AGR Power Stations or BEG(UK) AGR Power Stations, the following charges shall apply: 
  
 Subject to Schedule A of this Appendix, the Annual Fixed Charge Ao shall be derived as follows:

  
 Annual Fixed Charge Ao = (Pi*A1) minus (Pi*D2) 
  
 Where: 
  
 A1 equals the fixed charge detailed in the table below. 
  
 Pi equals the final BEG annual fixed charge discount proportion being a value between zero and one, jointly agreed by BEG and BEG(UK) and notified to BNFL, by BEG
under this Agreement and by BEG(UK) under the BEG(UK) Agreement, for use in the annual reconciliation. For the avoidance of doubt, Pi shall have the same numerical value when used both in this Agreement and in the BEG(UK) Agreement. 
  
 D2 equals the variable discount derived as follows: 
  
 D2 = the higher of (i) zero and (ii) the lower of 
  
 [            ]* and
(([            ]* minus OEP)*5TWh) 
  
 Where OEP is defined in accordance with Appendix 20, and shall be specified to five significant figures. 
  
 The sums of [            ]* and [            ]* are quoted
in Financial Year 2003 money values and will be escalated annually in accordance with Appendix 6. The multiplier of 5.0 TWh is a fixed figure and shall not be subject to escalation.

 The values for A1 and Bo are quoted in July 2002
money values and will be escalated in accordance with Appendix 6. 
  
 14 days prior to the
date on which BNFL is required to invoice BEG pursuant to Clause 5.1, the estimated annual fixed charge (Aoest) pertaining to the month of invoice shall be calculated according to the following formula: 
  
 Aoest = ((Piest*A1est) minus (Piest*D2est)) 
  
 Where: 
  

	A1est	 	is the estimated escalated value of A1 for the relevant month derived in accordance with Appendix 6. 

  

	Piest	 	is, for monthly invoicing purposes, the fixed charge discount proportion (being a value between zero and one) agreed jointly between BEG and BEG(UK) and notified to BNFL by BEG under this
Agreement and by BEG(UK) under the BEG(UK) Agreement. The value of Piest used in the pre-reconciliation monthly invoicing may be changed by BEG and BEG(UK), provided that BNFL is notified at least 2 weeks prior to the date by which the fixed charge
invoice for the particular month in question is to be received by BEG in accordance with Clause 5.1. For the avoidance of doubt, Piest shall have the same numerical value when used both in this Agreement and in the BEG(UK) Agreement.


  

	D2est	 	is the estimated value of D2 for the Year derived using a forecast value of OEP (=OEPest) and escalating the terms in the equation for D2 above in accordance with Appendix 6.


  
 Where OEPest is derived in accordance with Appendix 20,
and shall be specified to five significant figures. 
  
 The monthly fixed charge invoiced in
each month shall be adjusted such that the Year to date value of the discount D2 as invoiced at that month end, equals the latest projected cumulative Year to date value of the discount D2 applicable to that month end. 
  
 In executing the algorithms outlined in this Appendix 5, all calculations will be performed to the
maximum normal computational accuracy, with no imposed rounding to specific levels of precision.

 Part B 
  
 For the period where BEG and/or BEG(UK) are loading Fuel into either Reactor of three, two or one of the AGR Power Stations or BEG(UK) AGR Power Stations (the New Pricing
Period), the price shall be set on the basis of the recommendations of the Joint Study Team, with a view to lowering the full costs of production of Fuel and sharing the benefits. BEG and BNFL agree to use their respective reasonable
endeavours to achieve this objective to the maximum feasible extent, including with respect to the sharing of information. In the event that the Joint Study Team is unable to Agree upon any recommendations which lead to the lowering of the full
costs of production of Fuel and the sharing of the benefits, BEG and BNFL agree that in such circumstances, the provisions of Clause 27 shall be applicable. In particular, BEG and BNFL hereby agree that the terms of reference of the arbitration
shall be Agreed and shall include but not necessarily be limited to: 
  

	(i)	 	estimated cost of providing services over the New Pricing Period, including allowance for new capital investment; 

  

	(ii)	 	efficiency of labour and resource utilisation in the supply of Fuel to BEG, together with any scope for improvement during the New Pricing Period; 

  

	(iii)	 	allocation of plant, overheads and other costs to the overall cost of supplying Fuel to BEG; and 

  

	(iv)	 	costs associated with ensuring the security of supply of components and Ancillary Components.

 Part C 
  

	1.	 	Uranics (Uo) 

  
 1.1 The quantity of Uranic Elements contained in the Enriched Uranium Material which is fed into the Fuel fabrication process to produce the said Fuel will be invoiced pursuant to Clause 5.1.2 by BNFL to BEG at the date the Fuel containing
the Enriched Uranium Material is delivered to BEG. To cover for Process Losses, an equivalent of [            ]* of the Enriched Uranium Material contained in the delivered Fuel shall be
added to the total quantity of Enriched Uranium Material used to produce the said Fuel and this shall be included in the derivation of Uo. The value of [            ]* shall be reviewed
periodically by BEG and BNFL. 
  
 1.2 The quantities of the Uranic Elements delivered in
Fuel will be multiplied by the [            ]* of the Uranic Elements at the date of delivery of Fuel to BEG in accordance with this Agreement. 
  
 1.3 The quantity of Uranic Elements contained in Enriched Uranium Material will be identified as
originating from one of the 3 following tranches: 
  

	 	1.3.1	 	Inventory Tranche: comprising material purchased by BNFL as Initial Stocks, Remaining Stocks or Interim Sale Uranium (if any) under the Deed for the Sale and Purchase of Enriched and Natural
Uranium Stocks; 

  

	 	1.3.2	 	Contract Tranche: comprising material supplied under the Contracts or the Pass-Through Contracts or the Additional Pass-Through Contracts under the Deed for the Sale and Purchase of Enriched
and Natural Uranium Stocks (the Contract Stocks); and 

  

	 	1.3.3	 	Market Tranche: comprising all other materials (the Market Stocks). 

  
 1.4 The [            ]* of the Uranic Elements will be established on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis of
tranche exhaustion as follows: 
  

	 	1.4.1	 	The [            ]* of the Initial Stocks, Remaining Stocks and Interim Sale Uranium (if any), until the quantity of the Initial
Stocks, Remaining Stocks or Interim Sale Uranium (if any) is deemed to be exhausted; 

  

	 	1.4.2	 	The [            ]* of the Contract Stocks, until the total quantity procured under the Contracts is deemed to be exhausted;


  

	 	1.4.3	 	The [            ]* of the Market Stocks once the total quantity procured under the Contracts is deemed exhausted on a FIFO basis.


  
 1.5 The following formulae shall be used sequentially in the order in
which they appear below to determine the tranche from which each Uranic Element (x) contained in the quantity of Uranium Material despatched in Fuel for each month (r) is deemed to have been sourced. 
  

	 	1.5.1	 	If ISQxr >0 , then Rxr=R(IS)xr 

  

	 	1.5.2	 	If RSQxr >0 and if Rxr <= RSQxr, then Rxr=R(RS)xr 

  

	 	1.5.3	 	If RSQxr >0 and if Rxr > RSQxr and if Rxr <= RSQxr + CSQxr, then Rxr = RSQxr + R(CS)xr where R(CS)xr = Rxr-RSQxr 

  

	 	1.5.4	 	If RSQxr >0 and if CSQxr >0 and if Rxr > RSQxr and if Rxr >RSQxr + CSQxr, then Rxr = RSQxr + CSQxr + R(MS)xr where R(MS)xr = Rxr-RSQxr-CSQxr 

  

	 	1.5.5	 	If RSQxr =0 and if Rxr <= CSQxr, then Rxr = R(CS)xr 

  

	 	1.5.6	 	If RSQxr =0 and if CSQxr >0 and if Rxr > CSQxr, then Rxr = CSQxr + R(MS)xr where R(MS)xr = Rxr-CSQxr

supplied from Market Stocks of Uranic Element x in month r 
  
 R(RS)xr represents the quantity of Uranic Element x required for the fabrication of Fuel in month r deemed to have been
supplied from Revised Stock of Uranic Element x in month r 
  
 RSQx is the quantity of Revised Stock of each Uranic Element x where Revised Stock means that quantity which remains of Initial
Stocks of each Uranic Element plus that quantity of Interim Sale Uranium (if any) of each Uranic Element plus that quantity of Remaining Stocks (if any) of each Element 
  
 RSQxr represents
RSQx in month r 
  

	2.	 	Incidental Services (Vo) 

  
 2.1 The incidental services shall cover transport, insurance, cylinder washing, cylinder hire and uranic analysis.

	(7)	 	BEG shall have the right to: 

  

	 	i)	 	undertake surveillance of manufacturing processes at Springfields and/or subcontractors’ premises for the purposes of making an informed decision on whether or not to approve concession
applications and to confirm that the procedures in place for reviewing and sentencing concession applications, prior to submission to BEG for approval, are satisfactory and being worked to. Such surveillance shall be exercised in a reasonable manner
and shall be limited to those plants and processes appropriate to the non-conformance event. Surveillance of subcontractors shall be undertaken only in conjunction with BNFL staff and to the extent that BNFL are able to secure such access with their
suppliers. In cases where BNFL does not have contractual right of access to suppliers it shall use all reasonable endeavours to secure such access for BEG and shall use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that such rights are incorporated into its
contract with suppliers on contract review; and 

  

	 	ii)	 	audit the system in place at BNFL for the purpose of reviewing, categorising and notifying BEG of the concession applications, including confirmation of the competence of the staff employed
in making decisions on BNFL’s behalf.

	(8)	 	In the event that such surveillance/audit shows in BEG’s reasonable opinion that BNFL is not acting in accordance with the procedures, including BNFL’s Quality Assurance System,
referred to in Clause 6, BNFL shall forthwith and in consultation with BEG, identify and implement corrective actions to ensure compliance within an Agreed timescale. BNFL shall identify and bond any Fuel and any affected Fuel components at
Springfields which is subject to any concession application pending implementation of corrective action. No further concession applications shall be processed until BEG are satisfied that adequate procedures have been implemented.


  

	(9)	 	In the event that BEG approves BNFL’s concession application for the said Fuel, it shall be deemed to be compliant with the Contract Specification but notwithstanding the provisions of
Clause 12 shall apply, and BEG shall be entitled to recover its direct costs as provided for in Clause 13.4. BNFL shall notify BEG when
all Fuel to which BEG has granted a concession has been delivered to the relevant AGR Power Station. 

  

	(10)	 	In the event that BEG is unable to approve BNFL’s concession application, it shall nevertheless be entitled to recover its direct costs as provided for in Clause 13.4. All costs incurred
by BNFL in applying for a concession for non-compliant Fuel shall be borne by BNFL. 

  

	(11)	 	Notwithstanding Paragraph 10(a) of this Appendix, BNFL recognises the undesirability of supplying to BEG Fuel which is non-compliant with the Contract Specification. It shall therefore use
its endeavours, through inter alia application of continuous improvement methods to control its processes and those of its suppliers, to minimise the incidence of non-compliances with the objective of eliminating non-compliances as soon as
reasonably practicable.

 APPENDIX 9 
  
 ANNEX 3 
  
 REDUCTION IN FUEL ORDERING LEADTIME 
  
 BNFL and BEG shall seek to improve Fuel ordering lead times and associated level of uranic stock in process with the objective of reducing the cost of capital in respect of enriched uranium forming part of the Fuel manufacturing process.

  
 BNFL and BEG agree that the introduction of the Central Store as part of finished Fuel
stocks optimisation will facilitate the reduction in lead times referred to above through inter-alia smoother deliveries to AGR Power Stations and smoother Fuel manufacturing throughput. 
  
 The key issues requiring resolution are as follows: 
  

	1.	 	Establish OFC monthly maximum capability. 

  

	2.	 	Agree monthly Fuel range. 

  

	3.	 	Establish BEG capability in respect of Fuel orders forecasting capability. 

  

	4.	 	Financing of forecast errors and/or premiums for short leadtime. 

  

	5.	 	Agreement on forecast accuracy commercial issues. 

  

	6.	 	Rundown of OFC buffer stocks. 

  

	7.	 	Agreement on level of and payment for additional costs associated with an increase in the number of Assay changes. 

  

	8.	 	Agree interim arrangements that order is placed 3rd week of 5th Month for a 4-Month leadtime and 3rd week of 4th Month for 3-Month leadtime. 

  

	9.	 	Implement 3-Month leadtime, including agreement on terms and conditions to apply. 

  
 An indicative implementation programme is set out below. It is noted that this programme is outdated; BNFL and BEG will work to develop jointly a revised programme.

 APPENDIX 9 
  
 ANNEX 4 
  
 RECYCLE OF THORP REPROCESSED URANIUM IN AGR FUEL 
  
 ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED 
  
 BEG and BNFL
shall seek to establish a supply of AGR Fuel utilising a proportion of BEG’s ex-THORP reprocessed uranium with the objective of saving avoidable costs and reducing BEG’s cost of uranics and providing BNFL with additional recycled uranium
business. 
  

	1.	 	Confirm MDU raw data 

  
 - Spec level to mimic MDU content of baseload material 
  

	2.	 	Confirm THORP output predictions 

  
 - Correct for level of MDU used. Comparison with actual analysis ex-THORP 
  

	3.	 	Crude assessment using 0.25ppb U232 as nominal spec limit, if Items 1 and 2 are not possible. 

  
 - Material usage in total. Overall savings. Material usage by year. Savings year by year. 
  

	4.	 	Confirm estimate of benefits. 

  

	5.	 	Develop and agree cost model including mutual cost savings/benefits. 

  

	6.	 	Safety Case Assessments 

  
 - In reactor case 
  
 - Station operations case 
  
 - BNFL transport case 
  
 - BNFL operations case 
  

	7.	 	Establish the most beneficial/practical blending point. 

  

	8.	 	Testing of blending logistics with the appropriate facility. 

  

	9.	 	Assessment of benefits/practicalities/pitfalls of using third party conversion to start project early. 

  

	10.	 	Refine crude estimate identified at 4. 

  

	11.	 	Conclude outstanding commercial issues including terms and conditions to apply. 

  

	12.	 	Define implementation date. 

  
 An indicative implementation programme is set out below. Notwithstanding this programme, BNFL shall, subject to agreement of commercial terms, use all reasonable endeavours to secure conversion of BEG’s reprocessed uranium
on the earliest possible timescales.

 MACHINED BRACE 
  
 ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED 
  
 BEG and BNFL shall seek to establish an improved
design of AGR Fuel brace that, compared with the current design, has reduced parasitic neutron absorption properties and is simpler and quicker to manufacture, whilst ensuring the Fuel Element integrity is preserved at all stages of its life cycle.
The key issues requiring resolution are as follows: 
  

	1.	 	Agree a full understanding of current brace fretting mechanism subject to which BEG and BNFL shall: 

  

	2.	 	Undertake a joint risk analysis study of rimmed machined braces. 

  

	3.	 	Agree programme/timescales for achieving financial benefit of rimmed machine brace. 

  

	4.	 	[Not Used] 

  

	5.	 	[Not Used] 

  

	6.	 	Agree commercial terms to apply. 

  

	7.	 	[Not Used] 

  
 An indicative implementation programme will be Agreed when the current brace fretting mechanism is understood.

	 	(b)	 	Y is the date of the return journey from the AGR Power Station to Springfields; 

  

	 	(c)	 	C is the contractual delivery date at the Central Store; 

  

	 	(d)	 	Where contractual deliveries to AGR Power Stations are redirected to the Central Store to provide additional flexibility for BEG, then the contractual delivery date to the Central Store shall
be the date on which the delivery would have been made to the AGR Power Station; and 

  

	 	(e)	 	In the case of Hartlepool, Heysham 1 and Heysham 2 AGR Power Stations, the return journey is made on the same Day as the contractual delivery arrival date. 

  

	2.	 	Where, in order to streamline their Fuel ordering processes, BEG and BEG(UK) wish to place aggregate orders: 

  

	 	(a)	 	BEG shall provide to BNFL, at the time of Fuel ordering, an indicative schedule of intended deliveries to its AGR Power Stations and replenishment deliveries to the Central Store. Until the
third week of the sixth Month preceding the Month of delivery, BEG may vary this schedule at its discretion. Delivery dates under this schedule shall be determined in accordance with the table above. 

  

	 	(b)	 	Deliveries on dates different from those contemplated in the table above may be scheduled by agreement between BEG and BNFL. 

  

	 	(c)	 	BNFL and BEG shall each use reasonable endeavours to develop revised delivery schedules which meet BEG’s requirements for Fuel deliveries and BNFL’s requirement for level
manufacturing rates. For the avoidance of doubt, BNFL agrees that where a request from BEG results in a delivery being delayed within the Month this shall be acceptable to BNFL. 

  

	3.	 	Where an order involves the use of more than one vehicle, the remaining Fuel shall be delivered on the same Day the following week, subject to prior agreement from the relevant AGR Power
Station.

	4.	 	The AGR Fuel Delivery Plan will be updated as BEG ceases to load Fuel into any Reactor. Revised AGR Fuel Delivery Plans will be issued annually following the cessation of such Fuel loading to
at least one of the Reactors.

 APPENDIX 15 
  
 AGR BURNABLE POISON CABLE FLEXIBILITY 
  
 Under the Existing Fuel Supply Agreement the Parties agreed to trial certain methods for introducing further flexibilities to the Fuel ordering process and the Parties proposed to
operate revised arrangements for a trial period from 1 April 2003. In the event that the Parties are continuing to operate such trial arrangements as at the commencement of the Fuel Supply Period, the provisions of this Appendix 15 shall apply. In
the event that the Parties are not operating such trial arrangements at the commencement of the Fuel Supply Period, the Parties shall continue to operate the arrangements in force immediately prior to the commencement of the Fuel Supply Period.

  

	1.	 	Subject to both BEG(UK) and BEG giving two months advance notice to BNFL, the arrangements detailed herein may be reversed and the arrangements as stated in the Agreement of 3 June 1997,
reinstated. 

  

	2.	 	Unless and until both BEG and BEG(UK) give notice of reversal under the provisions of Clause 1 hereof, the following shall continue in effect. 

  

	3.	 	When placing a firm order for Fuel pursuant to Clause 7 of this Agreement, BEG shall provide the combination in terms of number of cables and their gadolinium density for each Fuel Element
applicable to that order. 

  

	4.	 	BEG shall be entitled to amend the said cable combination at any time up to the third Friday of the third month prior to delivery up to a maximum additional overall cable requirement of 1400
cables applying to all 7 advanced gas-cooled reactor power stations operated by BEG and BEG(UK) combined, with no limitation on changes from cabled to uncabled or vice versa. BEG shall use all reasonable endeavours to provide the most accurate
information in terms of cabling requirements. 

  

	5.	 	Recognising that BEG in the past has amended its cable requirements at the third week of the third Month prior to delivery and that due to unforeseen circumstances stations may need to change
cable requirements after this date, BEG shall also be entitled up to two calendar months prior to delivery to increase or decrease cables, up to a further maximum additional overall cable requirement of 1400 cables applying to all 7 advanced
gas-cooled reactor power stations operated by BEG and BEG(UK) combined, with a maximum net change at any time during each delivery period from cabled to uncabled, or vice versa, limited to four stringers worth of Stage 3 Fuel Elements and four
stringers worth of Stage 1c Fuel Elements. 

  

	6.	 	BNFL will use all reasonable endeavours to meet BEG’s reasonable requirements above and beyond the flexibility provided in this Appendix. 

  

	7.	 	The invoicing arrangements for the stockholding shall be in accordance with the following: 

  
 An overall combined charge per month of £1413 in July 2002 money values which includes all charges for the combined AGR burnable
poison flexibility services to BEG under this Appendix 15 and to BEG(UK) and under Appendix 15 of the BEG(UK) Agreement. 
  
 Charges are to be escalated in accordance with Appendix 6. 
  
 Charges are to cover all financing, storage and administration costs. 
  
 Invoices will be issued quarterly to BEG. 
  

 104 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	8.	 	The aforementioned arrangements shall be reviewed periodically by the Parties until at least 1 April 2006 after which BEG and BEG(UK) are required to provide a minimum of two months notice of their requirement to revert to the arrangements as stated in the Agreement dated 3 June 1997. 

  

	9.	 	In the event that BEG and BEG(UK) request to revert to a reduced flexibility arrangement in accordance with Paragraph 1 of this Appendix and recognising that BNFL has bought additional
components to provide flexibility at two months and that no orders or forecasts exist for the 28 fuel elements worth of 8-toroid Dungeness B cable components, BEG shall at its sole discretion either: 

  

	 	(a)	 	continue to pay charges of up to £202 per month in July 2002 money values adjusted pro rata on the stock at the end of the month in question to cover the continued financing, storage
and administration costs of the 8-toroid Dungeness B components until they are consumed; or 

  

	 	(b)	 	purchase 28 top braces and 28 centre braces at a total cost of £433 per brace in July 2002 money values escalated to the month of purchase in accordance with Appendix 6.


  
 If BEG chooses option (b) above then BNFL shall offset
such unit charges against the appropriate Bo charges pertaining to the next delivery of 8-toroid Fuel Elements with such rebate being escalated in accordance with Appendix 6.

 APPENDIX 16 
  
 AGREED PRINCIPLES: CENTRAL FUEL STORE AT SPRINGFIELDS 
  
 BEG and BNFL shall maintain a Central Store, to reduce stocks of finished Fuel at AGR Power Stations above those required to meet BEG’s stocking policy and reduce stocks held
by BNFL. 
  
 “Where Fuel is manufactured and delivered to the Central Store on behalf
of BEG and subsequently delivered from the Central Store to a BEG(UK) AGR Power Station; or, where Fuel is manufactured and delivered to the Central Store on behalf of BEG(UK) and subsequently delivered from the Central Store to a BEG AGR Power
Station; then the relevant remedies, warranty and limitation of liability provisions of the fuel supply agreement relating to the Fuel in question will be those contained in the fuel supply agreement(s) of the party taking ultimate delivery from the
Central Store to its AGR Power Station.” 
  
 For the avoidance of doubt, BNFL’s
liabilities under the arrangements above shall not be changed by any action of Clause 8.3 of this Agreement or of clause 8.3 of the BEG(UK) Agreement. 
  
 BEG and BNFL have agreed the following principles: 
  

	1.	 	BEG shall be invoiced for Fuel (Bo, Uo and Vo) following delivery into the Central Store, subject to Paragraph 2 below. 

  

	2.	 	BEG shall be free to bypass the Central Store and instead specify that Fuel should be delivered directly to its AGR Power Station. 

  

	3.	 	Tripartite BEG/BEG(UK)/BNFL planning meetings shall take place on a monthly basis to discuss, inter alia: 

  

	 	i.	 	BEG/BEG(UK)’s delivery requirements; 

  

	 	ii.	 	the Central Store stock levels; and 

  

	 	iii.	 	replenishment schedules. 

  

	4.	 	BEG shall use all reasonable endeavours to assist BNFL to smooth production whilst not prejudicing its own commercial requirements. 

  

	5.	 	BEG shall express any requirements they have for BNFL to adjust production rates to satisfy their requirements. Such views shall not be unreasonably disregarded by BNFL.


  

	6.	 	For the purposes of ordering leadtimes, delivery will be deemed to be into the Central Store, subject to paragraph 2. above. 

  

	7.	 	Delivery destination for Fuel existing in the Central Store shall be specified by BEG one month ahead with provision for the occasional shorter period of notice by agreement with BNFL and
subject to payment of any reasonable and demonstrable additional costs, if the period of notice given is less than one month. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to paragraph 2, BEG cannot request Fuel to be delivered to an AGR Power Station until
it is physically in the Central Store. 

  

	8.	 	Further arrangements regarding Fuel order details and timescales shall be Agreed as part of the agreement on the operation of the Central Store. 

  

	9.	 	 Ownership of the Fuel (including associated uranics) in the Central Store as between BEG and BEG(UK) shall be agreed between them. Risk in the Fuel shall pass to BEG or
BEG(UK) as 



  

 106 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  


	 	 
agreed between them when the Fuel passes into the Central Store and they shall make appropriate insurance arrangements. Said risk shall revert to BNFL when the Fuel
passes out through the door of the Central Store. 


  

	10.	 	BEG and BNFL shall work together, in good faith, to agree ways to reduce or eliminate the documentation flowing from the current operation of Clause 8.3 and/or to simplify the same.


  

	11.	 	Operating costs and any capital expenditure for the duration of the contract related to the Central Store shall be borne by BNFL. BNFL shall be responsible for day to day management of the
Central Store. 

  

	12.	 	The maximum capacity of the Central Store shall be 1000 elements in respect of all 7 BEG/BEG(UK) advanced gas-cooled reactor power stations. The allocation of said capacity shall be as agreed
between them. 

  

	13.	 	Current liquidated damages arrangements shall be retained in their entirety and be applicable to both delivery to the store and delivery to stations in accordance with a delivery programme
Agreed with BNFL, except in the case of delivery to station where there will be 50% of the current rate for Fuel which has been supplied from the Central Store. Late delivery into the Central Store would result in liquidated damages being incurred
at the rate of 100% of the current rate for Fuel. 

  

	14.	 	Subject to paragraph 11 above, BEG and BNFL shall bear its own costs of implementing the Central Store. 

  

	15.	 	Costs of any changes in transport requirements beyond the current frequency shall be Agreed on a case by case basis. 

  

	16.	 	BEG and BNFL agree to co-operate to continuously work to identify improvements to the process and utilisation of the Central Store to their mutual benefit.

 APPENDIX 18 
  
 THE SHARING OF BENEFITS RESULTING FROM DESIGN CHANGES 
  

	1.	 	Fuel Design Changes 

  
 These are changes that alter the design of Fuel such that Fuel burn-up can be improved and thereby provide benefits in one or more of the following forms:

  

	 	•	 	reduced uranium requirement. 

  

	 	•	 	reduced Fuel fabrication. 

  

	 	•	 	reduced New Spent Fuel management services. 

  
 The guiding principle on Fuel design change benefits sharing will be: 
  
 For each Fuel design change not covered by section 2 below, all benefits arising from reduced requirements for uranium, Fuel fabrication and spent fuel management
services will be recorded in a joint account (the Joint Account) (dedicated to the design change) which will accumulate such benefits for an Agreed period of time (Agreed Period). The Joint Account will then be used to
provide reimbursement to a party for a demonstrated cost or loss (reasonably incurred and agreed in advance between the parties), which was directly and solely attributable to the particular Fuel design change in question. At the end of the Agreed
Period, the accumulated net benefit will be shared between BEG and BNFL in direct proportion to the agreed relative commercial risks taken by them in implementing the change. 
  
 BEG and BNFL may also consider the sharing of further benefits following on from the Agreed Period. In this event BEG and BNFL shall
consider the sharing of any further benefits as they arise from the irradiation of such Fuels provided that they have been supplied under the Fuel supply agreement(s) prior to the closure of the final AGR Power Station. Where mechanisms which do not
require cash transfer can be identified, these will be applied to provide settlement. 
  
 Each proposed project will be reviewed at a very early stage to confirm whether this principle can be applied. Where the principle cannot be applied, Agreement on an alternative will be sought. Where such an alternative cannot
be Agreed, the project will not proceed. 
  
 It is agreed that this
principle should be applied to the optimised can wall project, with costs lying where they fall and therefore not affecting this project’s particular joint account, the net benefit of which is to be shared equally between BEG and BNFL. The
method for calculating the benefits arising is to be Agreed. 
  

	2.	 	Alterations within the Current Design Framework 

  
 These are changes that alter the configuration of the Fuel within the current design framework, for example, altering uranium Assays or burnable poison cable
configurations, such that Fuel burn-up can be improved and thereby provide benefits in the following forms: 
  

	 	•	 	reduced Fuel fabrication. 

  

	 	•	 	reduced New Spent Fuel management services. 

  

	 	•	 	increased Reactor availability. 

  
 The guiding principle on current design framework benefits sharing will be: 
  
 BEG and BEG(UK) will retain all benefits from all alterations within the current design framework that may lead to reduced
requirements for Fuel fabrication or New Spent Fuel 

  

 110 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 
management services, or to increased Reactor availabilities. BNFL will be compensated for any Agreed and substantiated increased costs (reasonably incurred and Agreed
in advance) that it was not possible to mitigate by working jointly. 
  
 It
is agreed that this principle should be applied to the implementation of Fuel with U235 weight percent Assay of greater than 2.67% and 3.42% for positioning in the inner and outer zones respectively with a maximum Assay of 3.78% achieved in 2001.

 APPENDIX 20 
  
 CALCULATION OF OUTTURN ELECTRICITY PRICE 
  
 Intention 
  
 BNFL and BEG agree that it is their intention to establish a price index that reflects the baseload wholesale electricity price that the BEG Group’s advanced gas-cooled reactor generation would be exposed to, subject to a specified
treatment of any future environmental legislation. This price index (the Outturn Electricity Price or OEP) will be used to calculate rebates and surcharges on contractual payments for Fuel and receipt of spent Fuel and so
provide the BEG Group with a partial hedge of the electricity price risk associated with its advanced gas-cooled reactor output. 
  
 The price is calculated on the basis of publicly available market price indicators, with a weighting of 75% to contracts sold for a season during the preceding six months, and the
remaining 25% to contracts sold on a month-ahead basis. For the Year commencing on 1 April 2003, an annual pricing mechanism shall be used in place of the seasonal calculation, so as to ensure consistency of value with the Heads of Terms.

  
 BNFL and BEG will establish a means of calculating, before all of the data are available
that are required to calculate the Outturn Electricity Price for a particular Year, a forecast of the Outturn Electricity Price for that Year (Forecast Outturn Electricity Price). 
  

	1.	 	THE OUTTURN ELECTRICITY PRICE 

  
 Definitions 
  
 Actual Level of AGR Generation – defined
in section 3. 
  
 Additional AGR Environmental Value – for any Year, the
additional effective price achievable by baseload advanced gas-cooled reactor generation beyond that captured in Initial Outturn Electricity Price, that arises directly from Environmental Legislation. The calculation of such achievable price shall
take into account the potential to access the most favourable price across different market segments (including for the avoidance of doubt sales directly to consumers), net of the incremental costs of accessing such market segments to achieve such
prices or any other costs imposed on nuclear generation associated with such Environmental Legislation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional AGR Environmental Value may only be a positive number or zero. 
  
 Agreed Price Reporter – A Price Reporter whose prices BNFL and BEG have agreed or
the Expert has determined should be included in making the calculations required in this contract. 
  
 Average Price for the Month – the arithmetic mean of the Daily Price for the Month across all Trading Days that fall predominantly within the period from the start of the previous Pricing Month to its end.

  
 Average Price for the Season – the arithmetic mean of the Daily Price
for the Season across all Trading Days that fall predominantly within the period from the start of the previous Pricing Season to its end. 
  
 Average Price for the Year – for any Year, the arithmetic mean across all Trading Days within the two Pricing Seasons that fall predominantly within the previous
Year and across both Pricing Seasons that fall predominantly within the Year, of the Daily Price for the Season for the two Pricing Seasons that fall predominantly within the Year. 
  
 Daily Price for the Month – for any Trading Day, the volume-weighted mean across all Agreed Price Reporters of the prices of
contracts traded on that Trading Day for baseload electricity for a particular 

  

 114 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 
Pricing Month. In the event that no such trades are reported by any Agreed Price Reporter for that Trading Day, the arithmetic mean of the bid and offer prices quoted
on that day across all Agreed Price Reporters for the relevant Pricing Month shall be used in place of the mean of the prices of contracts traded. 
  
 Daily Price for the Season – for any Trading Day, the volume-weighted mean across all Agreed Price Reporters of the prices of contracts traded on that Trading
Day for baseload electricity for a particular Pricing Season. In the event that no such trades are reported by any Agreed Price Reporter for that Trading Day, the arithmetic mean of the bid and offer prices quoted on that day across all Agreed Price
Reporters for the relevant Pricing Season shall be used in place of the mean of the prices of contracts traded. 
  
 Environmental Legislation – any carbon tax, exemption of nuclear generation from the Climate Change Levy, or any other climate change related measure put in
place by HMG subsequent to 29 November 2002 which affects the value of nuclear generation (but for the avoidance of doubt excluding any changes in rates payable by BEG or BEG(UK)). 
  
 Fuel Contract Equivalent Electricity Volume – for the period where BEG and BEG(UK) taken together are loading Fuel to 4 or more
advanced gas-cooled reactor power stations the Fuel Contract Equivalent Electricity Volume shall be 5 TWh. For the period where BEG and BEG(UK) taken together are loading Fuel to 3 or fewer AGR power stations the Fuel Contract Equivalent Electricity
Volume shall be set on the basis of recommendations of the joint team established to study the end of life optimisation programme, as contemplated in Part B of Appendix 5 of this Agreement. 
  
 Initial Outturn Electricity Price – (a) for the Year ending 31 March 2004, the sum
of 0.75 times the Average Price for the Year and 0.25 times the arithmetic mean of each Average Price for the Month for the twelve Pricing Months falling predominantly within that Year; and (b) for each subsequent Year, the sum of 0.75 times the
arithmetic mean of each Average Price for the Season for the two Pricing Seasons falling predominantly within that Year and 0.25 times the arithmetic mean of each Average Price for the Month for the twelve Pricing Months falling predominantly within
that Year. 
  
 Outturn Electricity Price – for any Year, the Initial
Outturn Electricity Price plus the Additional AGR Environmental Value minus (the Prior Contract Value Pass-through divided by (the sum of 50% of the Actual Level of AGR Generation and the Fuel Contract Equivalent Electricity Volume)). 
  
 Price Reporter – an organisation which regularly publishes price indices and/or
traded prices that are generally accepted to correspond closely with the fair price obtainable in the market for baseload wholesale electricity contracts in the English and Welsh market (or following the introduction of the British Electricity
Trading and Transmission Arrangements (BETTA), the English, Welsh and Scottish market) covering Pricing Seasons and Pricing Months. 
  
 Pricing Month – a period of time for delivery of electricity, usually either 4 or 5 weeks in length, that corresponds to the delivery period for electricity
contracts referred to as “months” in the reports compiled by the Agreed Price Reporters. 
  
 Pricing Season – a period of time for delivery of electricity, usually 26 weeks in length, that corresponds to the delivery period for electricity contracts referred to as “seasons” (either summer
or winter) in the reports compiled by the Agreed Price Reporters. 
  
 Prior Contract
Value Pass-through – for any Year, the financial equivalent of all benefits arising from Environmental Legislation passed from any company within the BEG Group to third parties other than BNFL as a result of contracts already in force

	2.	 	THE FORECAST OUTTURN ELECTRICITY PRICE 

  
 Definitions 
  
 Forecast AGR Generation in Year – The sum of Forecast BEG AGR Generation in Year and Forecast BEG(UK) AGR Generation in Year. 
  
 Forecast BEG AGR Generation in Year – The latest forecast provided by BEG to BNFL of the total metered generation delivered by the AGR Power Stations to the
electricity transmission system within the current Year. This will be on a basis consistent with any external announcements of forecast advanced gas-cooled reactor generation adjusted to be net of transmission losses as applicable. 
  
 Forecast BEG(UK) AGR Generation in Year – The latest forecast provided by BEG to
BNFL of the total metered generation delivered by the BEG(UK) AGR Power Stations to the electricity transmission system within the current Year. This will be on a basis consistent with any external announcements of forecast advanced gas-cooled
reactor generation adjusted to be net of transmission losses as applicable. 
  
 Forecast Average Price for the Month – (a) The Forecast Average Price for the Month for a Pricing Month that falls wholly or partly in the past shall equal the Average Price for the Month for that Pricing Month. (b) The
Forecast Average Price for the Month for Pricing Months that fall wholly in the future (but excluding the first Pricing Month that falls wholly in the future) shall equal the Spot Balance of Season Price for the Pricing Season in which the Pricing
Month falls. (c) The Forecast Average Price for the Month for the first Pricing Month that falls wholly in the future shall equal: 
  

	((d * (Arithmetic mean of the Daily Price for the Month calculated over the first d Trading Days for which data are available of the current Pricing Month)) +
((n-d)*(the Daily Price for the Month calculated on Trading Day d of the current Pricing Month for which data are available)))/(n)
	
	where d is the number of Trading Days for which data are available at the point of calculation and n is the total number of Trading Days in the current Pricing
Month

  
 Forecast Average Price for the
Season – (a) Prior to the start of the Pricing Season the Forecast Average Price for the Season shall equal 
  

	((D’ * (Arithmetic mean of the Daily Price for the Season on the first D’ Trading Days for which data are available of the previous Pricing Season)) +
((N’-D’)*(the Daily Price for the Season calculated on Trading Day D’ of the previous Pricing Season for which data are available)))/(N’)
	
	where D’ is the number of Trading Days for which data are available at the point of calculation and N’ is the total number of Trading Days in the previous Pricing
Season;

  
 and (b) during a Pricing Season, the Forecast
Average Price for the Season for that Pricing Season shall equal the Average Price for the Season for that Pricing Season. 
  
 Forecast Average Price for the Year – Prior to the start of the Year the Forecast Average Price for the Year shall equal the arithmetic mean of the Year Ahead
Forecast Season Price for the two Pricing Seasons falling predominantly within the Year. During the Year the Forecast Average Price for the Year shall equal the Average Price for the Year.

 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 Forecast Environmental Adjustment – the latest estimate as provided by BEG, or as determined by an Expert,
of the expected difference between Outturn Electricity Price and Initial Outturn Electricity Price for any Year. 
  
 Forecast Initial Outturn Electricity Price – (a) for the Year ending 31 March 2004, the sum of 0.75 times the Forecast Average Price for the Year and 0.25 times
the arithmetic mean of each Forecast Average Price for the Month for the twelve Pricing Months falling predominantly within that Year; and (b) for each subsequent Year, the sum of 0.75 times the arithmetic mean of each Forecast Average Price for the
Season for the two Pricing Seasons falling predominantly within that Year and 0.25 times the arithmetic mean of each Forecast Average Price for the Month for the twelve Pricing Months falling predominantly within that Year. 
  
 Forecast Outturn Electricity Price – the sum of Forecast Initial Outturn Electricity
Price and Forecast Environmental Adjustment. 
  
 Spot Balance of Season Price
– The arithmetic mean across all Agreed Price Reporters of the bid-offer midpoints for the period starting on the first Trading Day of the second Pricing Month falling wholly in the future or the first Trading Day of the Pricing Season,
whichever is the later, and ending on the last Trading Day of the Pricing Season. The period mid points should be constructed from the finest granularity bid-offer data available from each Agreed Price Reporter.  
  
 Year Ahead Forecast Season Price – The Year Ahead Forecast Season Price for a
Pricing Season falling predominantly in a given Year shall equal 
  

	((D * (Arithmetic mean of the Daily Price for the Season on the first D Trading Days for which data are available of the two Pricing Seasons that fall predominantly within the
previous Year)) + ((N-D)*(the Daily Price for the Season calculated on Trading Day D of the two Pricing Seasons that fall predominantly within the previous Year for which data are available)))/(N), where D is the
number of Trading Days for which data are available at the point of calculation and N is the total number of Trading Days in the two Pricing Seasons that fall predominantly within the previous Year

  

	3.	 	THE ACTUAL LEVEL OF AGR GENERATION 

  
 The Actual Level of AGR Generation shall represent the total amount of electricity delivered by the AGR Power Stations and the BEG(UK) AGR Power Stations in the Year to the point
on the electricity transmission system at which the Outturn Electricity Price is determined. 
  
 BNFL and BEG agree that the calculations below shall be used: 
  
 For
England and Wales Stations: 
  
 Actual Level of BEG AGR Generation in England and
Wales =

 
  
 Where: 
  
 i = BM Units belonging to Reactors in the AGR Power Stations that have not permanently ceased
generation 
  
 j = Settlement Periods in Year 
  
 QMij=BMU Metered Volume for BMU i in Settlement Period j 
  

 117 









 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 TLMij=BMU
Transmission Loss Multiplier for BMU i in Settlement Period j 
  
 For Scottish Stations:

  
 Actual Level of BEG(UK) AGR Generation in Scotland = 
  
 

 
  
 Where: 
  
 i= BM Units over the England and Wales system as a whole 
  
 j= Settlement Periods in Year 
  
 k = BM Units belonging to Reactors in the BEG(UK) AGR Power Stations that have not permanently ceased generation 
  
 QMij+ = BMU Metered Volume for exporting BMU i in Settlement Period j 
  
 QMij- = BMU Metered Volume for importing BMU i in Settlement Period j 
  
 a= the percentage share from time to time determined of the total net system losses attributable to the BM Units
that belong to delivering trading units (as those terms are used in paragraph T2 of the Balancing and Settlement Code) for Settlement Period j, which as at the date hereof is 45%. 
  
 Vjk= GNN Station output of Reactors
in the BEG(UK) AGR Power Stations in Settlement Period j. 
  
 GNN Station output represents
the electricity sent to the grid net of what is used on the power station site. 
  
 Actual Level of AGR Generation = Actual Level of BEG AGR Generation in England and Wales + Actual Level of BEG(UK) AGR Generation in Scotland. 
  
 Where appropriate, the terms above shall be used in the sense in which they are used in the Balancing and Settlement Code. 
  
 In the event that the allocation of transmission losses is varied, or BETTA is introduced, or the
ownership of any of the AGR Power Stations or the BEG(UK) AGR Power Station changes, or any of the terms above ceases to be available to either or both of BNFL and BEG, then such parties shall agree such changes to the above calculation to give
effect to the principle outlined in the definition of Actual Level of AGR Generation. In the event that BNFL and BEG are unable to reach agreement on such changes, then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination. 
  
 In the event that some or all of the items of data required to calculate the Actual Level of AGR
Generation is not available to BNFL, BEG shall provide BNFL with such items of data that BNFL reasonably requires within 5 Trading Days of BNFL requesting said items of data.

 BNFL/BEG COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 
  

 Protocol 
  
 Agreed Price Reporters 
  
 BNFL and BEG shall from time to time agree who shall represent the Agreed Price Reporters. Initially the Agreed Price Reporters shall be: 
  


	•	 	Argus European Energy Report 

  

	•	 	The Heren Report – European Daily Electricity Markets 

  
 There shall always be at least one and not more than five Agreed Price Reporters. If BNFL and BEG are unable to agree on the Price Reporters then the matter will be referred to an
Expert who will be required to determine which Price Reporters shall be the Agreed Price Reporters. BNFL and BEG may agree to exclude or adjust a price quoted from one or more Agreed Price Reporters. Any corrections issued by the Agreed Price
Reporters after the initial publication of their reports shall be taken into account in these calculations. BNFL and BEG may agree to exclude or adjust such corrections. 
  
 In the event that the relevant reported market prices become unavailable from any Agreed Price Reporter on either a temporary or permanent basis, or
that such prices have ceased to be appropriate for use (e.g. due to illiquidity underlying such index) such that the Outturn Electricity Price calculated by this methodology has ceased to provide a fair reflection of the baseload wholesale
electricity prices that the BEG Group’s advanced gas-cooled reactor generation would be exposed to (subject to the specified treatment of any future environmental legislation), BNFL and BEG shall agree a suitable alternative, and/or an
adjustment to the overall mechanism for the establishment of the Initial Outturn Electricity Price, such that the commercial basis of the agreement is not altered. 
  
 In the event of any market developments or other changes, the effect of which is to render any part of the calculation of Outturn Electricity Price
unworkable or inappropriate, BNFL and BEG will negotiate in good faith to reach an agreement on such changes as are required to preserve the original economic intent. In the event that BNFL and BEG are unable to reach agreement on such changes, then
the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination. 
  
 Environmental
Legislation 
  
 In the event that BNFL and BEG are unable to reach agreement on the
existence of any Environmental Legislation or the treatment of any of the calculations associated with such Environmental Legislation then the matter shall be referred to an Expert for determination. The scope of any Expert determination shall
include all aspects of the process of deriving Outturn Electricity Price from Initial Outturn Electricity Price except where both BNFL and BEG explicitly waive this condition. 
  
 Provision of Estimates 
  
 BEG shall make good faith estimates of the Forecast Environmental Adjustment as required to meet the timescales of invoicing. In the absence of such an estimate for any particular
invoice, the last estimate provided or determined for that Year shall be used, where the initial estimates of Forecast Environmental Adjustment for each Year in the contract are deemed to be zero. In the event of any dispute by BNFL of the level of,
or requirement for, such an estimate that is not resolved within 10 Trading Days of the dispute being raised, either BNFL or BEG may refer the matter to an Expert for determination. 
  
 BEG shall make good faith estimates of the Forecast AGR Generation in Year as required to meet the timescales of invoicing. In the event of any
dispute by BNFL of the level of such an estimate that is not resolved within 10 Trading Days of the dispute being raised, either BNFL or BEG may refer the matter to an Expert for determination.

 Expert Determination 
  
 If any matter is referred to an independent expert (the Expert) in accordance with this Appendix, the Expert shall be appointed by agreement between BNFL and BEG. If
BNFL and BEG fail to agree upon that appointment within 10 Trading Days of either BNFL or BEG notifying the other of its decision to refer the matter to an Expert, the President of the Law Society of England and Wales may appoint the Expert on the
application of the relevant Party. 
  
 The Expert shall have power to make amendments to
this Agreement binding on the Parties consistent with any relevant requirements, purposes or restrictions concerning those amendments expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Parties agree that it is their intention that in the absence of their
ability to agree any required amendments to this Agreement, this Agreement should continue and not come to an end or be deemed to be void or voidable in accordance with the doctrine of frustration or any other legal theory. Accordingly, if the
Expert is unable to decide upon any amendments based on the express or implied intentions of the Parties, the Expert shall be entitled to have regard to the way in which similar issues or amendments are addressed or are proposed to be addressed by
other electricity industry participants and to substitute the Expert’s own view of what is reasonable in all the circumstances. 
  
 The Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall give his or her determination in writing. In the absence of fraud or manifest error, the determination of the
Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties. 
  
 The Expert shall
determine the procedure to be followed by the Expert for the purpose of making a determination provided that the Parties shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to ensure that he or she makes his or her determination within 20 Trading Days
of being appointed. Each of the Parties shall bear one half of the costs of the Expert unless the Expert determines otherwise. Pending the determination of any amendments to this Agreement by the Parties or the Expert, the Parties shall continue to
the extent possible to perform their obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 Audit 
  
 In the event that BNFL is wholly reliant on
information provided by BEG to enable BNFL to calculate or check BEG’s calculations of any of the factors required to calculate the Outturn Electricity Price, the Forecast Outturn Electricity Price, or the Actual Level of AGR Generation, BEG
shall at all times upon reasonable notice allow BNFL’s auditors, its officers, agents and other persons authorised by BNFL in writing (or, at BEG’s request, an independent auditor agreed between the Parties or appointed by the Expert in
the event that the Parties cannot agree) to have access to inspect the basis on which BEG has provided such information. BEG shall keep such books and records as BNFL may reasonably require for the purpose of verifying said information. The records
detailed in this clause shall be retained by BEG and made readily available upon reasonable notice for inspection by BNFL, its officers appointed agents or independent auditor as applicable for a minimum period of 2 Years from the date of the
record.

of each relevant Year. 

  

	5.	 	If the Uranics Review Board rejects the draft Security of Supply Policy (or is deemed under paragraph 4 to have rejected the draft Security of Supply Policy), BNFL shall be entitled to
present to the Uranics Review Board its own draft Security of Supply Policy by no later than the last Working Day of the second week of February of each relevant Year, which the Uranics Review Board shall either accept (subject to such modifications
as may be proposed by it) or reject the draft Security of Supply Policy. 

  

	6.	 	If the Uranics Review Board rejects the draft Security of Supply Policy pursuant to paragraph 5 above, the failure to agree the draft Security of Supply Policy shall be referred to
Arbitration pursuant to Clause 27. Notwithstanding the timescales as set out in Clause 27, but subject to the following conditions: the Arbitrator shall present a determination by no later than the last working day in March of the relevant Year.
Upon receipt of the decision of the Arbitrator, the draft Security of Supply Policy subject to any modifications proposed by the Arbitrator shall become the final Security of Supply Policy. 

  

	7.	 	Each new final Security of Supply Policy referred to in Clauses 3 and 6 shall replace any previous final Security of Supply Policy in its entirety. 

  

	8.	 	If either BNFL or BEG have reasonable grounds to believe at any time that the final Security of Supply Policy requires amendment to meet the objectives of this Agreement, either party may
propose such amendment for the Uranics Review Board for consideration. If such amendments are accepted by the Uranics Review Board, the final Security of Supply Policy will be amended in accordance with the amendments accepted by the Uranics Review
Board with effect from the date of acceptance by the Uranics Review Board.

in respect of any Fuel Element or Ancillary Component returned to them under this Clause and instead of the alternatives set out in Clauses 13.1.1 and 13.1.2, credit with a sum which shall, in the case of a Fuel Element, take into account the charge
which would have been payable for and appropriate to the Fuel Element if it had been due for delivery on the date on which it was so returned or, in the case of an Ancillary Component, take into account the charge which would have been payable for
the Ancillary Component if it had been due for delivery as aforesaid. For the avoidance of doubt BNFL shall be responsible for the recovery of the Enriched UO2 content of the Fuel so affected including any Process Losses and shall carry out such
recovery in a timely manner and shall credit such recovered Enriched UO2 to BEG’s Operational Stock account at Springfields. If for reasons solely attributable to BNFL, BNFL, does not recover the Enriched UO2 content of the Fuel it shall
forthwith credit BEG with an amount of UO2 in the same form as if BNFL had recovered the said UO2. In the event that BNFL elects to rectify or replace Fuel as specified in Clauses 13.1.1 and 13.1.2, it shall be deemed not to have been delivered
until such rectification or replacement has been carried out and the Fuel delivered to BEG. Accordingly, the provisions of Clause 12.7 shall apply.”

SWU LOSS PROCEDURE 
  

	1.	 	BLENDING 

  
 In order to meet the requirements of BEG with regard to Fuel Assay, BNFL may have to undertake isotopic blending of uranium dioxide powder. This requirement may arise as a result of one of the following circumstances:

  

	(i)	 	BEG requires that its stocks of enriched material at Springfields (be it UF6,
U02 or recovered U308) are utilised, to reduce in process stocks; 

  

	(ii)	 	Insufficient UF6/U02 at the required Assay is available on site;


  
 In cases where a blending operation will result in a SWU loss of 0.5% or
less then BNFL shall not be required to inform BEG in advance of blending taking place. 
  
 Where a blending operation will result in a SWU loss of greater than 0.5% then BNFL shall be required to obtain the prior approval of BEG for the blending operation to be undertaken, such approval not being unreasonably withheld. Any such
request by BNFL shall be in writing and BEG shall reply to it within seven days of receipt thereof. BNFL’s request shall be submitted not less than seven days before the intended commencement of blending operations. 
  
 BNFL shall provide BEG with an Enriched Uranium Blend Statement at the frequency and within the
timescales defined in Appendix 10 of this Agreement. 
  

	2.	 	RESIDUE RECOVERY 

  
 As part of the fabrication process, BNFL undertakes activities to allow production residues to be recovered for use in subsequent Fuel manufacture. Within the recovery operations,
there will be a need to process enriched materials from different sources and hence mixing will take place. 
  
 The following procedure shall take place. 
  
 In cases where a residue
recovery operation will result in a SWU loss of 0.5% or less then BNFL will not be required to inform BEG in advance of a residue recovery operation taking place. 
  
 Where a residue recovery operation will result in a SWU loss of greater than 0.5% then BNFL shall be required to obtain the prior approval of BEG for
the residue recovery operation to be undertaken, such approval not being unreasonably withheld. Any such request by BNFL shall be in writing and BEG shall reply to it within seven days of receipt thereof. BNFL’s request shall be submitted not
less than seven days before the intended commencement of residue recovery operations. 
  
 BNFL shall provide BEG with a Residue Recovery Statement at the frequency and within the timescales defined in Appendix 10.”

 Xp is the Enriched UF6 or WIP Assay (wt% U235). 
  
 Xw is the Tails Assay (wt% U235) and shall be 0.35%. 
  
 Xf is the UF6 Assay (equal to 0.711
wt% U235). 
  

	2.	 	The SWU component per unit of Enriched UF6 or WIP (the SWU
Factor) shall be calculated as follows: 

  
 SF =
(V(Xp)—V(Xw))—FF(V(Xf)—V(Xw)) 
  
 where:

  
 

 
  
 Where: 
  
 Xp, Xw, and Xf are as defined in paragraph 1 of Part F above. 
  
 ln is the natural logarithm. 
  

	3.	 	For the application of the above formulae in this Appendix 31 and for the purposes of Appendix 30: 

  

	3.1	 	The quantity of UF6 is to be expressed in kgU, and rounded to the nearest
gramme (that is, the third decimal place). 

  

	3.2	 	The U235 Assay is expressed in wt% and rounded to the third decimal place.


  

	3.3	 	The weight percents (wt%) are to be converted to decimal fractions (i.e. ÷ 100) for use in the SWU equations above.

	3.4	 	All intermediate calculations are to be carried to at least eight decimal places. 

  

	3.5	 	The Feed and SWU Factors are to be rounded to the third decimal place. 

  

	3.6	 	The amounts of SWU are to be rounded to the third decimal place (1/1000 SWU). 

  

	3.7	 	Rounding is done by the standard rounding procedure, that is, by rounding each figure up when the following figure is equal to or higher than five (5), and by rounding each figure down when
the following figure is less than five (5). 

  

	3.8	 	Assay means the total weight of U235 isotope divided by the total weight of all uranium isotopes expressed as a weight percent (wt%). 

  

	3.9	 	Tails means Depleted UF6 resulting from the Assay process.


  

	3.10	 	SWU means a unit of measurement for Enrichment. 

  

	3.11	 	Feed means UF6. 

  

	3.12	 	Depleted UF6 means
uranium hexafluoride with an Assay lower than in UF6.
