ATKINSREALIS AND FRANCE'S EDF SIGN PIVOTAL GLOBAL NUCLEAR COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

Atkinsrealis Group Inc. has concluded a pivotal collaboration agreement with Electricite de France, one of the world's leading electricity production and distribution companies.

"This collaboration agreement with a world-class organization like EDF is a game changer for the nuclear industry and makes good strategic sense," said Ian L. Edwards, president and chief executive officer, Atkinsrealis. "There is a global need for more clean, affordable and reliable energy that can only be achieved with nuclear power. Only by scaling up our efforts can we address the need for more low-carbon energy and for global market demand of 1,000 large and small reactors."

The collaboration agreement, which will expand the strategic partnership between the two nuclear power nations and better integrate their respective industries, will cover both pretechnology and posttechnology vendor selection processes, and will include:

• Engineering support;
• The provision of non-reactor equipment
• Sharing of best practices;
• Installation and commissioning services;
• Engagement between the centres of excellence of each organization.

Both companies will continue to compete on reactor technology vendor selection processes where appropriate or when asked by governments and developers in support of global efforts to transition to low-carbon energy.

"Atkinsrealis is already working with EDF in the U.K. and France as a strategic partner in their new nuclear build program. This collaboration strengthens our relationship and will enable both organizations to extend international capacity, while harnessing their collective expertise and technical capabilities, to support the next wave of nuclear generation in the coming years," said Joe St. Julian, president, nuclear, Atkinsrealis.

"The deepening of our partnership with Atkinsrealis underscores EDF's commitment to steering progress in the nuclear industry alongside our valued Canadian partner. By combining their global and complementary expertise, knowledge and skills, both our companies demonstrate their dedication to fostering innovation and bolstering both our nations' nuclear capabilities for enhanced energy sovereignty and security. The power of working together will drive us forward in Canada, in Europe and around the world," said Vakis Ramany, senior vice-president, international nuclear development, EDF.
