Duke Power is preparing a combined construction and operating license (COL) application for new nuclear power generation in the US. The application is for two Westinghouse Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) reactors at a site to be named following the conclusion of its current site selection study.
Construction of the last new reactor in the United States was completed in 1996 and there have been no nuclear plants ordered since 1978.
Westinghouse is partnering with The Shaw Group Inc. a global engineering design construction and operations firm on engineering work for this project.
2. Georgia Power Southern Nuclear Pursue Westinghouse AP1000 for Potential New Nuclear Units
Friday January 27 1:00 pm ET
ATLANTA Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power and Southern Nuclear Operating Company announced today the companies are pursuing the Westinghouse AP1000 as the nuclear reactor technology for potential new nuclear units at the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. The companies said the Plant Vogtle Early Site Permit (ESP) and Combined Construction and Operating License (COL) applications will be based on the AP1000 design.
South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G) and Santee Cooper have selected the V.C. Summer site near Jenkinsville South Carolina for potential deployment of two 1100MWe Westinghouse AP1000 reactors.
Westinghouse also announced that it will collaborate with The Shaw Group to support the SCE&G/Santee Cooper COL and possible future construction of a new plant at the Summer site. Westinghouse and Shaw will also work together in support of other US power companies that have selected the AP1000 technology for COL applications.
The AP1000 will now be the technology basis for 10COL applications. (10部机组要动)
Previously (1) Duke Power (2) Progress Energy and the team of (3) Southern Company and (4) Georgia Power had selected the AP1000 for any future expansion of their nuclear capability. And in September 2005 (5) NuStart selected TVA’s Bellefonte nuclear plant site for a COL application for the AP1000.
