Amazing video!! I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to study APR 1400 technology at KINGS. I hope in the near future see the commercialization of iPOWER reactor. Congratulations to the Korean Nuclear Companies and organizations for their great work and achievements!
Kepco should be very proud about their reactors. Very few companies have so advanced reactor and are capable of building them without delays or going over budget. I will do whatever possible to get one in my country. Previous government had talks with Westinghouse which isn't known for bulding in the same way, or even finishing the projects. Beside, Kepco is continuously improving designs. I really want to see APR1400 here!
The 34.212 tons of spent fuel generated in one year by one 1400MW reactor can fuel 36 1GW Molten Salt Reactors for one year. 940 kg of natural thorium in a Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) can generate 1 gigawatt (GW) of electricity for one year. The 259.784 tons of unused depleted uranium processed to obtain the 34.216 tons of enriched uranium can fuel 276 1GW Molten Salt Reactors for one year.
WHY HAVE WE CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS UPTO 1650MW BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN SAYING WE WANT SMALL MODULAR REACTORS OF MAX 300MW. HOW LONG TO PRODUCE A NAVAL REACTOR. SAME THING.
APR1400 is way cheaper: 4 units (1345 MW net output) in Barakah are at $24.4bn. This is 4.54 $/W. The cheapest EPR I know of is Olkiluoto with €11bn construction cost -> $11.85. It outputs 1600 MW. So this is 7.41 $/W. But hold your hat. Vogtle is at 15.7 $/W. Completely crazy. I don't know how KEPCO is so much better and why not everyone is building APR1400s. Because with 4.5 $/W you end up with 70 $/MWh (50 year runtime, 6% interest). in EU that's quite competitive and wind+PV+battery+back-up are far from achieving this. It feels like the nuclear industry is its own biggest enemy...

@@Signal_Glow For comparison Over 10 years and 12 billion for the EPR2 (1600 Mw) But Epr2 can survive of Hydrogen blast and have a corium recuperator. The walls are so thick that it is already a Sarcophagus. France having built a mock containment ensainte to test the resistance of the materials, they designated a really solid ensainte. The reactor has a better efficiency in fuel consumption, but this comes at the cost of great complexity. complexity, even too great a complexity which explodes the costs (like having a pressurization at 300 bar) The reactor vessel) also a design fault in vibration (to be reviewed) For my part I think that the best would be to have the safety of the EPR 2 but without necessarily having its performance and its complexity. A reactor halfway between the EPR2 and Korean nuclear reactors. Safety is still important, the nuclear disaster cost the Japanese more than 200 billion and it's not over... Not to mention the ecological and health impact (which remains difficult to assess exactly)
I hope the South-Korean Govt will invest in APR-1000 Reactors to meet its Energy goals. If SK-Govt won't support its Nuclear-industry then it won't be possible for South-Korea to sell its Nuclear reactors to foreign countries. South-Korea must consider to form a JV with Russia for Construction & Full T-o-T of "BN-800" FBRs.
Kepco is known to build reactors in time while sticking to the budget. National project is a bit different because same country finances and builds it, if anything goes wrong with financing it will delay finishing of the project.
Doing anything nuclear with Russia is out of question at the moment. I wish too they made one new generation reactor together, as i understand it Russian engineer first thought and wrote about MSRE, they also had many firsts in this field. Russia will likely focus on Asian market a lot more than before, big loss for us but great for you.
After the war with Russia, Ukraine will build nuclear power plants rated at 1900MW ,this means fewer reactors in all . Ukraine aims at 80 percent of energy to be nuclear and 20 percent renewables and only coal used for steel making. France has a design for 1600MW so a 1900MW is possible so in all 22 nuclear power plants to be built no worries about money it will be payed by Russia as war reparations so the whole energy project will cost somewhere between 240 and 270 billion dollars. Kepco and Enerhoatom could be partners in this project so around 2024 this project could be started.
I think they signed a deal with Westinghouse for the AP1000 units. Both the EPR and the AP1000 have operating units. Both are PWRs with similarities to PWRs built since the 1960s. The sooner they repel the Russian invaders the better for the world. I am half a world away and this war affects me. The only war we need is that against global warming.😊
Wow. I'm from Kazakhstan myself. Just out of interest, where does the information come from that Ukraine wants to receive 80% of its electricity from nuclear power plants?
Ojalá mi país Venezuela se llevará mejor con Corea pero bueno porque no compran la mitad de las acciones de Corpoelec la empresa que se encarga de la electricidad aquí en Venezuela y la otra mitad es para que el gobierno de mi país se encargue de la mitad de la inversión de la empresa y además aquí en mi país tenemos minerales que puedan servir para producir las piezas del sistema eléctrico como cables cosas así que aquí mismo en el país se puedan producir y en Corea también se puedan producir esos materiales importando esos minerales hacia Corea y además yo diría que la mejor empresa de electricidad del mundo es esta así que les tengo confianza me despido de ustedes que dios mes los bendiga
Awfully similar construction to Three Mile Island power plant. Edit: yep, APR-1400 was developed from OPR-1000, which in turn was developed from Babcock & Wilcox reactor, the same type that was used in Three Mile Island.
The OPR-1000 was directly based on the Combustion Engineering System 80/80+ design. The System 80+ was a revolutionary PWR design. It also helped with the development of the AP1000.
Basics are similar but safety features a lot more advanced. Even simple metal alloys got way better in the last 50 years. This is not some 2nd generation reactor like others at the end of lifetime. Calculations show they are orders of magnitude safer, add better computers, monitoring, knowledge from accidents like TMI and you get APC1400...
The accident at Three Mile Island was not due to the design of the reactor. Moreover, although it looks similar to him in appearance, it is not at all due to the containment.

Florencia Can you pls share me your some study data on APR 1400 please?
I'm proud to be part this project 2012 to 2014
me too

Would be nice to get a couple of them here in Finland too!
@@illuminate4622 How are you guys finding the EPR over there? Would you rather have an AP1400 instead of another EPR?
Great work Korea- UAE!!👍
Thank you for that video! ❤
Very good video, I hope they do one on the APR+
Amazing video. Absolutely incredible animation. Respect!
greatings from Poland
Fantastic video... good demonstration of APR1400
0:01 very informative content for clean energy "nuclear power reactor "
Good work

참 신기하죠? 저 건물 하나가 수십만 가구의 전력을 공급할수 있다는 사실.
would love to see this reactor in germany
Amazing video! Will be build in Poland?
Between the EPR vs AP1400 which would you choose and why?
APR 1400 because the building is faster and more Economist

How much do they cost?
Maybe I can ask my country to buy one.
around 5 bi dollars
And built in aproximately 5 years. Westinghouse needs like 15 years to build their AP1000, IF they finish at all. Kepco proved this many times.

It,s all good till it,s not , lets hope no accidents eh , cheapest construction cost on the market makes me question low cost ?
This is a mark 3 nuclear fission reactor. It's similar to the EPR 1600 MW reactor.
EPR 1600 should cost 5 billion USD.
Prolly safer than any reactor built 40-50 years ago 👍
