Abstract
Abstract Our world is ever growing, there will be higher demands on electricity, and fossil fuels cannot satisfy this demand without further harming the environment. Likewise, renewable energy sources such as solar and winds are still in their infancy and, when used alone, are not realistic solutions to meet this demand. Westinghouse Electric Company is ready to address higher electricity demand with the only Generation III + reactor to receive Design Certification from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the AP1000™ pressurized water reactor (PWR). Westinghouse Electric Company once again sets a new industry standard with the AP1000™ reactor. The AP1000™ is a two-loopPressurized Water Reactor (PWR) with passive safety features and extensive plant simplifications that enhance its construction, operation, maintenance and safety. The paper discusses the unique design features of AP 1000.
