6 statements about AP1000, every show
Smith: China Is Building Roughly 39 Nuclear Reactors, Mostly Gigawatt-Plus
“Today, China is building 39 plus or minus nuclear reactors. 34 of them are one gigawatt plus. I think a third of those are modeled after the AP 1000.”
McEntush: China and UAE build AP 1000 nuclear reactors far cheaper
“A lot of the existing AP 1000 technology is quite good, and other countries can do it quite cheaply. China is using a very similar design. The UAE just built one for incredibly cheap.”
Bernauer: Large reactor builds are far slower in US than Asia
“And the typical construction timeline is really like six to 15 years on the big reactors right now, depending who makes them, even for the exact same reactor, like an AP 1000, built in the US is very slow, built in Asia is very fast.”
Wesoff: Nuclear industry should build AP1000 reactors over novel designs
“We should be figuring out how to build AP 1000 instead of flailing around trying to find silver bullet designs that will rescue this industry.”
Lovering: The nuclear island is only 12% of total AP1000 plant cost
“The actual, like, nuclear Component was called the nuclear island, so it's like the reactor, the pressure, containment structure. That's only like, 12% of the total cost, so that nuclear part is very small.”
