Fangchenggang Units 3–6 will be the first to utilize the HPR-1000 design, with Units 3 & 4 currently under construction as of 2017. [20] OKBM Afrikantov: VVER-1000/428 990 1060 3000 First version of the AES-91 design, designed and used for Tianwan Units 1 & 2, which came online in 2007. VVER-1000/428M 1050 1126 3000
The steam flow at full power is 5,440–5,600 t (6,000–6,170 short tons)/h. [ 15 ] The nominal temperature of the coolant at the inlet of the reactor is about 265–270 °C (509–518 °F) and the outlet temperature 284 °C (543 °F), at pressure in the drum separator and reactor of 6.9 megapascals (69 bar; 1,000 psi).
The water-water energetic reactor (WWER), [1] or VVER (from Russian: водо-водяной энергетический реактор; transliterates as vodo-vodyanoi enyergeticheskiy reaktor; water-water power reactor) is a series of pressurized water reactor designs originally developed in the Soviet Union, and now Russia, by OKB Gidropress.

The first commercial APR-1400 reactors at Shin Kori were approved in September 2007, [12] with construction starting in October 2008 (Unit 3) and August 2009 (Unit 4). [3] [13] [14] Shin Kori-3 was initially scheduled to commence operation by the end of 2013, but the schedules for both Units 3 & 4 were delayed by approximately one year to replace safety-related control cabling, which had ...
The nuclear fuel cycle employs a full actinide recycle with two major options: One is an intermediate-size (150–600 MWe) sodium-cooled reactor with uranium-plutonium-minor-actinide-zirconium metal alloy fuel, supported by a fuel cycle based on pyrometallurgical reprocessing in facilities integrated with the reactor. The second is a medium to ...
Areva estimates that the full cost of building the reactor will be about €8.5 billion, or almost three times the delivery price of €3 billion [58] [59] February 2013 TVO said that it is "preparing for the possibility" that the third unit at Olkiluoto may not start operating until 2016 [ 77 ]
A similarly designed Falcon 5 rocket was also envisioned to fit between [22] the Falcon 1 and Falcon 9, but development was dropped to concentrate on the Falcon 9. [ 21 ] The first version of the Falcon 9, Falcon 9 v1.0 , was developed in 2005–2010, and flew five orbital missions in 2010–2013.
