Current nuclear plant designs


Well, beside AP1000 there is AP-600,
ESBWR from GE-Hitachi, 1600 MW BWR,
VVER(MIR)-1200 from Atomenergoproekt, 1200 MW PWR, although I don't know if you can buy it ATM, they put $1.5b price tag,
Kerena from AREVA, 1250 MW BWR,
BWR 90 from ABB, 1200 MW BWR,
BWR 90+ from ABB, 1500 MW BWR, but Sweden isn't promoting them now, this need to be checked,
APR-1400 from KEPCO, 1400 MW PWR,
CANDU-6, 740 MW PWR,
AHWR-LEU, 300 MW PWR, although they claim it is export model, you should check, if it is permitted to run in your country,
BN-800 from Atomstroyexport, 800 MW sodium-cooled fast breeder,
HTR-PM from Chinergy, 210 MW modular high temperature pebble-bed, I don't know what delivery time they can tell you, but this will be probably first IV-generation NPP for export,

  1. HTR-PM: Construction is stopped since 19 months. There are doubts that a restart will happen. The collapse of the South African PBMR has shown that very major problems with pebble-beds exist.
