KEPCO E&C is carrying out the architect engineering and nuclear reactor system design of Advanced Power Reactor 1400(APR 1400), which is considered an internationally competitive, next-generation light-water reactor with innovative improvements in safety, operational and economic efficiency. We have strengthened it's safety by standardizing the design and securing design margins, man-machine interface design, and four-quadrant arrangement and contributed to achieving energy security through timely implementation of the national nuclear power plant policy based on reducing the construction period and applying a 60-year design life.

Performance status and characteristics of each unit

Saeul 3 & 4

  • Strengthening seismic design requirements (SSE: 0.3g) and applying a design to protect from an aircraft strikes;
  • Design to cope with beyond design accident pursuant to accident management regulations;
  • Timely implementation of nuclear power plant construction through a preemptive(active or strong) response to construction issues

Shinhanul 1 & 2

  • 2022.12.7 Completed the construction of Shinhanul Unit 1, the 27th nuclear power plant in South Korea;
  • Finished localization of key facilities such as reactor coolant pump (RCP) and nuclear man-machine interface system (MMIS) for instrumentation and control;
  • The first nuclear power plant in the revitalization of the nuclear power industry following the new energy policy;
  • Re-advancement as a global energy leader and restoration of the economic viability of the nuclear industry ecosystem

Shinghanul 3 & 4

  • Support for the rapid purchase of construction equipment to normalize the nuclear industry ecosystem;
  • Prompt support for licensing work to obtain construction permits timely;
  • Prevention of construction process delays by preemptively (active or strong) responding to construction issues;
  • Preemptive (active or strong) response to the impact of climate change on nuclear power plant safety as a priority;
  • Application of the latest seismic design criteria and regulatory requirements
