Abstract:
• Nuclear Power Plants are faced with many new challenges in a
deregulated energy market. To stay competitive, expenses must be
reduced while maintaining safety and stakeholder confidence. To
enhance competitiveness, the decision making process must
consider the impact of every decision on economics, safety, and
stakeholders.

Introduction
• Relative to coal fired and natural gas fired power plants, nuclear
power plants are more expensive to build but less expensive to run.
This annex describes advanced construction methods to reduce
nuclear power’s construction costs, mainly by shortening the time
needed to build a plant.
• Each of the methods described below has been used in one or more
of the projects.

• Modularization with Prefabrication and Pre-assembly
• Advanced Welding Technique
• Steel Plate Reinforced Concrete and Slip-forming
• Rebar Placement for Reinforced Concrete
• All Weather Construction and Working around the Clock

Conclusion:
• In this we learned different construction methods
of nuclear power plants. By using these methods
we can produce more power with less
stakeholders and if we use these types of
advanced techniques we can reduce pollution
and we can be safe side.
