我们的世界在不断增长，对电力的需求将会更高，而化石燃料无法在不进一步损害环境的情况下满足这种需求。同样，太阳能和风能等可再生能源仍处于初级阶段，单独使用时，不是满足这一需求的现实解决方案。西屋电气公司准备通过唯一获得美国核管理委员会设计认证的第三代以上反应堆-AP1000PWR压水堆来满足更高的电力需求。西屋电气公司的AP1000型™反应堆再次确立了新的行业标准。AP1000型压水堆是一种双回路压水堆，具有被动安全特性和广泛的工厂简化功能，可加强其建造、运营、维护和安全。本文论述了AP1000的独特设计特点。
Our world is ever growing, there will be higher demands on electricity, and fossil fuels cannot satisfy this demand without further harming the environment. Likewise, renewable energy sources such as solar and winds are still in their infancy and, when used alone, are not realistic solutions to meet this demand. Westinghouse Electric Company is ready to address higher electricity demand with the only Generation III+reactor to receive Design Certification from the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the AP1000™ pressurized water reactor (PWR). Westinghouse Electric Company once again sets a new industry standard with the AP1000™ reactor. The AP1000™ is a two-loopPressurized Water Reactor (PWR) with passive safety features and extensive plant simplifications that enhance its construction, operation, maintenance and safety. The paper discusses the unique design features of AP 1000.
