Pirt/scaling assessment for AP1000
- 1. Westinghouse Electric Corp., Pittsburgh, PA (United States)
Description
The AP1000 is an up-rated version of the AP600 passive plant design that recently received final design certification from the US NRC. Like AP600, the AP1000 is a two-loop, pressurized water reactor featuring passive core cooling and passive containment safety systems. As the AP1000 design is essentially a scaled-up version of the AP600, it is expected that the AP600 Phenomena Identification and Ranking Tables (PIRTs) and much of the AP600 test database should be applicable in applying for design certification for the AP1000. In an effort to confirm this for pursuit of a license, the PIRTs and test facility scaling are re-assessed in view of AP1000. (author)
