• The Spanish nuclear industry has extensive experience in the development of services for nuclear power plants.

  The moratorium on new projects in the decade of the 1980s led these nuclear industry companies to find and enter new markets.

  The quality of their services, along with the long experience gained in the support of the Spanish plants, has enabled a significant number of companies to win relevant contracts in competition with leading corporations around the world.

  European countries are an important market. The first experiments to support the operation in Central and Eastern Europe are being extended with work in neighboring countries. Meanwhile, Latin America is a nearby market for reasons of language and historical proximity, which is also present in the industry. It emphasizes the participation of Spanish companies in projects in countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

  This article describes the experiences of four Spanish-owned companies and of the services division of Westinghouse in Spain.
