A single AP1000 power plant
will generate enough electricity to power around 2 million UK homes

safely, reliably, affordably

and with minimal emissions of CO2

Best Solution for New Plants is SIMPLIFICATION and STANDARDISATION

Reduced Components & Commodity Components

Standardisation
All plants use the same suppliers for all engineered components (identical pumps, valves, instruments and heat exchangers) Pl t are i l Plants implemented b th same W ti h t d by the Westinghouse t team There is one and only one design There is an Organisation Structure that manages and determines the plant configuration (Configuration Control) g p g The Design is 100% complete no field routing

Means:

And Brings:
Predictable and timely construction and reliable performance construction, Reduced risk, coupled with improved economics

AP1000 has Fewer Components than Conventional PWRs

50% Fewer Valves 35% Fewer Pumps 80% Less Pipe* 45% Less Seismic Building Volume 85% Less Cable

Compared with a conventional 1000 MW PWR

AP1000: Simpler and Safer

AP1000 passive design advantages: Dramatically safer design Increased operating margins, s g ca t y educed unplanned significantly reduced u p a ed capability loss factor No need for AC power for safety systems to operate y p No operator action needed for 72 hours following event Smaller staff advanced process staff, controls Shorter construction schedule L Lower equipment, construction costs i t t ti t Less equipment to maintain.

Application of Lessons Learned

First of a Kind (FOAK) Activities for Sanmen 1 and AP1000 equipment design & manufacturing have led to a number of Lessons Learned, resulting in:
NI Basemat at Haiyang 1 and Sanmen 2 y g laid in less time than Sanmen 1 Ultra-large SG & RV forging lead times were reduced for the 3rd and 4th units Squib Valve designs have been optimized CA20 (Auxiliary Building) module fabrication for Haiyang 1took far less time than for Sanmen 1 CV Bottom Head fabrication for Haiyang 1 took far less time than for Sanmen 1 CV Bottom Head welding at Haiyang is within a fully-enclosed building

CV Bottom Head Fabrication (Indoors) at Haiyang

Westinghouse is using modern and proven ways of capturing lessons learned and applies a process that ensures their implementation.
31

Projects are On Sched le! Schedule!

Long lead materials ordered early All safety valves on order Shipments started Developmental tests on squib valves complete Concrete pour times have reduced from unit to unit Manufacturing of heavy components is generally on schedule Good progress being made on modules & CV fabrication Significant benefit being gained from the lessons learned from the first unit being applied to subsequent g pp q units

work is conventional construction, not nuclear. p g the value of a UK nuclear programme.

UK industry could supply 70-80% of Less than 5% of current UK
