Initial plans called for three AP1000 units at Moorside, which is a nuclear power plant designed and sold by Westinghouse. [28] The design has improved use of passive nuclear safety , featuring fewer valves and pumps than previous PWRs and allowing cooling without intervention for up to 72 hours, relying mostly on natural processes such as ...
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC is an American nuclear power company formed in 1999 from the nuclear power division of the original Westinghouse Electric Corporation. [3] It offers nuclear products and services to utilities internationally, including nuclear fuel, service and maintenance, instrumentation, control and design of nuclear power ...
The Sanmen Nuclear Power Station (Chinese: 三门核电站) is a nuclear power station in Sanmen County, Zhejiang, China. Sanmen is the first implementation of the AP1000 pressurized water reactor (PWR) developed by Westinghouse Electric Company .
NuGeneration (NuGen) was a company that planned to build a new nuclear power station nearby the Sellafield nuclear site in the United Kingdom. The proposed site was called Moorside, and is to the north and west of Sellafield. On 8 November 2018, Toshiba announced their withdrawal from the project and intent to liquidate NuGen. [1]
TXU selected the US-APWR for use at multiple sites, including the Comanche Peak Nuclear Generating Station. [1] However, in 2013, Mitsubishi slowed U.S. certification work, and the application to build two units at Comanche was suspended. [2] The reactors are intended for use in nuclear power plants to produce nuclear power from nuclear fuel.
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 ...
