How does the APR-1400 nuclear reactor work?

Temas: |

Energy demand in the United Arab Emirates is growing at an annual rate of about 9 percent -- three times the global average. Developing a reliable supply of electricity is critical to the future growth of the Nation.

ENEC (Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation) awarded the Prime Contract for the UAE civil nuclear energy program to a consortium led by the Korean Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) -- one of the world leaders in safety, plant reliability, and efficiency.

KEPCO is the world's third-largest nuclear energy company. It is recognized by the World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) as a leader in safety, plant reliability, and efficiency, and currently receives among the highest scores in the WANO performance indicator program. The KEPCO consortium will design, build and operate four 1,400 MW nuclear power plants in the UAE.

UAE currently has three APR-1400 reactors in operation and one under construction.
