The AP1000 design traces its history to two previous designs, the AP600 and the System 80.. The System 80 design was created by Combustion Engineering and featured a two-loop cooling system with a single steam generator paired with two reactor coolant pumps in each loop that makes it simpler and less expensive than systems which pair a single reactor coolant pump with a steam generator in each ...
Since China's State Nuclear Power Technology Co (SNPTC) acquired Westinghouses's AP1000 technology in 2006, it has developed a manufacturing supply chain capable of supplying international power projects. [62] Industry analysts have pointed out that there are gaps in the Chinese supply chain. [63]
Hualong One is jointly developed by the China ... due to influence from Westinghouse AP1000, ... Nuclear Power Technology Co as a joint venture to ...
The System 80+ was developed into the Korean OPR-1000 and later APR-1400, [3] and contributed design features to the AP1000. [ 4 ] The NRC has certified the System 80+ for the U.S. market, but Westinghouse ceased actively promoting the design for domestic sale, prior to their bankruptcy.
Announcement of the project start came roughly twelve months after Westinghouse won a bidding contest over other companies. The contract for the new plant involved The Shaw Group (now Chicago Bridge and Iron), a minority shareholder in Westinghouse. Westinghouse was controlled by Japanese Toshiba. The Shaw Group did provide engineering ...
The Westinghouse SMR design is a scaled down version of the AP1000 reactor, designed to generate 225 MWe. After losing a second time in December 2013 for funding through the U.S. Department of Energy's SMR commercialization program, and citing "no customers" for SMR technology, Westinghouse announced in January 2014 that it is backing off from ...
Westinghouse, Toshiba: AP1000: PWR: 1117 1250 3400 2018-06-30 Sanmen [26] [27] NRC certified Dec 2005. [17] SNPTC, Westinghouse: CAP1400: 1400 1500 4058 The first Chinese co-developed and upsized "native" version/derivative of the AP1000. Westinghouse's co-development agreement gives China the IP rights for all co-developed plants >1350 MWe.
The design has been scaled up and improved with the AP1000. Certification testing and analysis of the AP600 and AP1000 reactor designs for Westinghouse were conducted at the APEX facility at Oregon State University. The one-quarter scale reduced pressure integral system certified the passively safe systems that cool the reactor core using ...
