16. Example EDA Project M/S Reheater Simulation – Oyster Creek EDA received Call from Engineer at Oyster Creek plant An Exelon Engineer recommended EDA for the work that they required. OC asked for a bid on the job. OC paid $5000 so EDA could gather information from the site. EDA developed a bid for $75,000 and sent it to the Utility.

17. Example EDA Project M/S Reheater Simulation – Oyster Creek The work was projected to be complete in 5 months. EDA used Joe Miller and a associate engineer to perform the work. The RELAP5 program was used to perform the simulation. A model was developed and a simulation of the system was performed.

18. Example EDA Project M/S Reheater Simulation – Oyster Creek The results showed that the oscillations in two of the six pipe lines caused significant oscillations in the system piping. EDA recommend that level instrumentation for these two tanks be modified with delays. Further sensitivities were performed to determine the instrumentation settings that allowed these delays to occur.

46. Advanced Reactors Scheduled for Review by NRC Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) Westinghouse AP1000 Advanced Passive Plant US-APWR is a 4451 MWt pressurized water reactor designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

47. Evolutionary Power Reactor EPR : The EPR is a large pressurized water reactor of evolutionary design, with design output of approximately 1,600 MWe. Design features include four 100% capacity trains of engineered safety features, a double-walled containment, and a “core catcher” for containment and cooling of core materials for severe accidents resulting in reactor vessel failure. The design does not rely on passive safety features. The first EPR is currently being constructed at the Olkiluoto site in Finland.

48. Evolutionary Power Reactor UniStar Nuclear will market a standard advanced design called the U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor (U.S. EPR), a 1,600-megawatt evolutionary power reactor designed for America by AREVA Inc.

49. ESBWR Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor ( ESBWR ) General Electric requested pre-application review of its design in a letter to the NRC dated April 18, 2002. General Electric submitted its design certification application for the ESBWR on August 24, 2005. The staff accepted the application for review in a letter dated December 1, 2005, and expects the certification process to continue through 2010.

50. Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor 1000 MWe AP1000: This is a larger version of the previously approved AP600 design. It is a 1,000 MWe advanced pressurized water reactor that incorporates passive safety systems and simplified system designs. It is similar to the AP600 design but uses a longer reactor vessel to accommodate longer fuel, and also includes larger steam generators and a larger pressurizer.

51. Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor 1000 MWe

52. NRC Design Certification Review Process The review process for new reactor designs involves the certification of standard reactor designs by rulemaking (Subpart B of Part 52). Design certification applicants must provide the technical information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the safety standards set forth in applicable NRC regulations (10 CFR Parts 20, 50, 73, and 100). Applicants must also provide information to close out unresolved and generic safety issues, as well as issues that arose after the Three Mile Island accident.

53. NRC Design Certification Review Process Currently there are four certified reactor designs that can be referenced in an application for a combined license. They are: Advanced Boiling Water Reactor design by GE Nuclear Energy (May 1997); System 80+ design by Westinghouse (formerly ABB-Combustion Engineering) (May 1997); AP600 design by Westinghouse (December 1999); and AP1000 design (pictured) by Westinghouse (February 2006).

54. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor ABWR: The U.S. Advanced Boiling Water Reactor design uses a single-cycle, forced circulation, reactor with a rated power of 1,300 megawatts electric (MWe). The design incorporates features of the BWR designs in Europe, Japan, and the United States, and uses improved electronics, computer, turbine, and fuel technology. The design is expected to increase plant availability, operating capacity, safety, and reliability.

55. Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor 1000 MWe AP1000: This is a 1000 MWe advanced pressurized water reactor that incorporates passive safety systems and simplified system designs. The passive systems use natural driving forces without active pumps, diesels, and other support systems after actuation. Use of redundant, non-safety-related, active equipment and systems minimizes unnecessary use of safety-related systems.

56. Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor 1000 MWe

57. ABB Combustion Engineering System 80+ The System 80+ is a 1300 MWe advanced pressurized water reactor. Like previous ABB-CE reactors, the System 80+ reactor coolant system has a two loop configuration, a major feature that has distinguished CE designed units. Like other ALWRs, improved safety performance and operability are achieved, owing to sophisticated design features. Another interesting feature of System 80+ is that it can run with Plutonium fuel, which could be a very useful mean to dispose the Weapon Graded Plutonium from dismantled nuclear warheads

58. Advanced PWR The US-APWR is a 4451 MWt pressurized water reactor designed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. It is an evolutionary design with active safety features. The US-APWR is based on established APWR technology. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd formally announced its intent to pursue a Design Certification on June 20, 2006 and formally requested a pre-application review of the U.S. APWR on August 31, 2006.

59. Advanced Reactors ABWR developed by General Electric Co (GE), USA, together with Hitachi & Toshiba Japan APWR developed by Westinghouse (W), USA, together with Mitsubishi, Japan BWR 90 developed by ABB Atom, Sweden AP1000 Westinghouse EPR developed by Nuclear Power International (NPI), a joint company of Framatome, France and Siemens, Germany System 80+ developed by ABB Combustion Engineering Nuclear Power, USA VVER-1000 (V-392) developed by Atomenergo project and Gidropress, Russia
