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 Hai an 1 and Sanmen 2laid in less time than Sanmen 1

● Ultra-large SG & RV forging lead timeswere reduced for the 3rd and 4th units

● Squib Valve designs have been optimized

● CA20 (Auxiliary Building) modulefabrication for Haiyang 1took far lesstime 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

● Power output – reduced need for strengthening of the

● Well known to UK regulators and industry

● Modular construction – supports UK jobs in supplychain

● Opportunity to benefit from US Design Certification

● Opportunity for fuel fabrication at Springfields
