I worked on an SFP Fukushima mod and went to almost every plant east of the Mississippi. 2 were the same, and it seemed at times that different people worked on different parts of the facility and they assembled it onsite, eg open a door and there is a tripping hazard right in the opening.
I am so glad the Vogtle units are finished and running, but I hope they are the last water-based reactors built. From now on, we should build molten salt reactors.
1:20 If the AP1000 is a simpler construction and has a smaller footprint, why is the construction much more expensive than the older design? Westinghouse went bankrupt because of the construction problems and cost overruns at NPP Summer and NPP Vogtle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil_C._Summer_Nuclear_Generating_Station#Units_2_and_3
The contractor botched construction. Once Bechtel came in, progress has been fine. But a ton of work had to be redone. Like, there's a reason China and Poland are building more AP1000 reactors even with the vogtle disaster
The small footprint surpriaed me.
Very good presentation, thank you

12:38 spent fuel, most of the uranium has not been used up, given its not a fast reactor.
Hopefully we will get these in Sweden soon

AP1000 soon in Ukraine 😎
🚀
10:58 standby Diesel?
the 1000MW capacity of the AP1000 is hitting my mark.

Bureaucracy combined with few project accepted (for any industry, the more project you have the better the econkomics for chain production)
I laugh every time I read that the reactor is modular and cheaper.

@@darrinkinney2268 Modular is substantially less expensive, look at the 20+ reactors China is building right now.
13:17 what happens on day 4?
Could you please tell me how tall the auxiliary building is? It is necessary for the graduation project, but I can not find this parameter anywhere.
Can you explain the AP1000 identification curve?
Which one is oral?
No gum when presenting.
Renaissance? It’s still a PWR.
