New Nuclear Plants in the United States AP1000 Standard Design: Ready for the Nuclear Renaissance The Current Status of New Nuclear Plants in the United States George Davis Westinghouse Electric Company

New Nuclear Plants Being Planned or Built to Help Improve the Environment Issues driving interest in nuclear energy: Avoiding emissions Providing reliable, economic base-load electricity generation Improving energy security Reducing energy imports Re-building U.S. manufacturing infrastructure Creating export opportunities Construction of new nuclear plants underway overseas Regulatory approval of new plants underway in the U.S.

New NRC Licensing Process Will Be Completed Before Construction Begins Early Site Permit (ESP) Combined Construction & Operating License (COL) Construction ITAAC met Operation Design Certification

Containment Vessel Plate Fabrication in China Westinghouse has built a global supply chain for China projects This supply chain is localized in China Westinghouse partners are also transferring technology

Simplification of Design, Using Passive Features, Improves Safety Typical PWR AP1000 Passive Systems dramatically reduce the number and complexity of active systems. Containment Cooling is accomplished by air and water cooling of the freestanding steel containment vessel. Air cooling enters vents at the top of the shield building. It travels down to the bottom of the air baffle and then up between the baffle and the containment shell. The air exhausts at the center of the shield building roof. Air cooling is supplemented by water cooling from a large tank of water above the containment vessel. No operator action is required. 72 hours of containment water cooling is provided in the PCS tank. No safety-related AC power is required (Diesels) Actuation and monitoring functions are provided from safety-related batteries. The digital protection system activates a few safety related devices. Operator action is not required.
