[Construction] Nuclear power plant design

Business/R&D[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.

Performance status and characteristics of each unit

Saeul 3 & 4

  • Strengthening seismic design standards (SSE : 0.3g) and applied aircraft crash protection designs
  • Designing beyond-design-basis accidents pursuant to accident management legislation
  • Constructing nuclear power plants in a timely manner through proactive response to construction issues

Shinhanul 1 & 2

  • Constructed Shin Hanul Unit 1, the 27th nuclear power plant in Korea in Dec. 7, 2022
  • Completed a localization of the core equipment such as RCP(Reactor Coolant Pump), MMIS(Man-Machine Interface System) for the first time in Korea
  • The first nuclear power plant in line with nuclear industry revitalization policy following new energy policy
  • Re-emerged as a global energy leader and restored the soundness of nuclear 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 in a timely manner
  • Prevention of construction process delays by preemptively (active or strong) responding to construction issues;
  • Prevention of construction process delays by preemptively responding to construction issues
  • Application of the latest seismic design standards and regulatory requirements
