The Westinghouse
AP1000
nuclear power plant is the most advanced
design available in the global marketplace. The
AP1000
plant was
designed to make use of modern, modular-construction techniques —
enabling shorter construction times, lowering construction costs and
bringing opportunities to local suppliers.
The
AP1000
design is the only advanced plant that can offer regulatory
certainty with the recent issuance of Final Design Certification from
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and interim design
approval by regulatory authorities in the United Kingdom.
To date, a total of ten
AP1000
reactors are under contract — four in
China and six in the US. Construction is underway on four units
in the US (Vogtle and VC Summer), after receiving their combined
construction and operating licenses in 2012. All four Chinese plants
remain on schedule, with the first Sanmen unit on track to produce
electricity by the end of 2013.
The
AP1000
plant is ready to provide future generations with safe,
clean and reliable electricity.
