On September 19, 2008, Luminant filed an application with the NRC for a Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) for two new reactors. [2] The reactor design selected is the US version of the 1,700 MWe Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (US-APWR), developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI).
The Light Water Reactor Sustainability Program is a U.S. government research and development program. It is directed by the United States Department of Energy and is aimed at performing research and compiling data necessary to qualify for licenses to extend the life of America's current 104 electricity generating nuclear power plants beyond 60 years of life.
The EDF Group is a power generation company which operates 58 reactors in 19 different sites. In addition, it has a 45% stake in EnBW, and has a 30% stake in the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant . Its subsidiary EDF Energy Nuclear Generation Limited owns and operates eight plants in the United Kingdom.
The goal of CASL is to develop advanced computational models of light water reactors (LWRs) that can be used by utilities, fuel vendors, universities, and national laboratories to help improve the performance of existing and future nuclear reactors. [2] CASL was created in May 2010, and was the first energy innovation hub to be awarded. [3] [4]
The light-water reactor (LWR) is a type of thermal-neutron reactor that uses normal water, as opposed to heavy water, as both its coolant and neutron moderator; furthermore a solid form of fissile elements is used as fuel. Thermal-neutron reactors are the most common type of nuclear reactor, and light-water reactors are the most common type of ...
The reactor in Shidao Bay, China is the world’s first gas-cooled nuclear power plant built for commercial demonstration. It is cooled by helium and can reach high temperatures of up to 750 ...
The reactor design was an integral Pressurized Water Reactor (iPWR) system in which the nuclear core and steam generators were contained within a single vessel. [ 8 ] B&W and engineering and construction firm Bechtel maintained an alliance called Generation mPower LLC to produce modular nuclear power plants using the BWXT mPower reactor until ...
The reactor was unveiled by Babcock & Wilcox in June 2009. [3] [4] In July 2010, Babcock & Wilcox announced a formal alliance with Bechtel called Generation mPower LLC. [5]At the same time, Babcock & Wilcox announced that it would build a test facility for the mPower reactor design at the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research in Bedford County, Virginia. [6]
