[Construction] Nuclear power plant design
KEPCO E&C has been conducting the architect engineering and NSSS design of Advanced Power Reactor 1400(APR 1400), which is considered to be an internationally competitive next-generation nuclear power plant with significant improvement in safety, user convenience, and economic viability. We have strengthened its safety by simplifying the designs, securing design margins, applying ergonomic designs and a four-quadrant arrangement. In addition, a reduced construction period and application of a 60-year design life enabled us to implement the national nuclear policy in a timely manner, contributing to energy security.
