AP1000 Plant Global Project Delivery

● Eight AP1000 units under construction worldwide- Four units in China- Four units in the United States


AP1000 Plant’s Innovative Safety Features

● Passive Safety-Related Systems– Use “passive” processes only; no active

pumps, diesels …

– One-time alignment of valves– No support systems required after

actuation

– Greatly reduced dependency on operator

actions

● Active Defense in Depth-Related Systems

– Reliably support normal operation– Redundant equipment powered by onsite

diesels

– Minimize challenges to passive safety systems

– Not necessary to mitigate design basis accidents

Summary of Key Conclusions AP1000 Plant Response to Extreme Events• Westinghouse assessment concluded that AP1000 Plant maintains all safety

limits

• The AP1000 Plant passive design assures

– Containment integrity

– No fuel damage (both spent fuel and reactor)

– No radiological release as a result of the event

AP1000 achieves and maintains Safe Shutdown, protects public health and

safety, and prevents loss of utility investment.

[…], as has been pointed out to me by Japanese colleagues as they reflect

upon Fukushima, had the plant been operating AP1000 reactors, it is likely

that the outcome would have been very different. The AP1000’s passive

safety systems provide the ability to maintain core cooling for at least 72

hours with little human intervention. 72 hours to make repairs, transport

emergency equipment, and take other actions in response to the earthquake

and tsunami that assaulted the Fukushima site would have made a very

significant difference.
