While demand for energy and increasing energy prices, energy sources, including fossil fuels, are decreasing. These factors, coupled with the effects of global warming pollution, paying consumers and industry in advocating for better solution with the world's energy needs.
Some argue that the solution can be found to make innovative technological enhancements to an existing source of energy-nuclear energy. Currently, nuclear energy supply 16% of world energy.
Unlike coal, natural gas, or both oil and subject to the price of nuclear power stations are feed fluctuated relatively abundant element uranium occurs naturally in the Earth's crust. Additionally, nuclear energy is the world's largest source of emissions-free energy. The production of nuclear power plants do not ants Bulut in air controlled or greenhouse gases.
One of the latest developments in nuclear energy production comes from Westinghouse Electric. The so-called nuclear power plant in the safest and most economical available in commercial market AP1000 worldwide. The first reactor category to receive the certificate of design "from" NRC ".
Based on 20 years of research and development, and proven technology is based on reactor for major components used in the current design Westinghouse plants. These components include steam and cooling pumps, fuel controls apparatuses, digital and integrated engineering reactor-years operating experience.
Using this technology established as a starting point, the innovative design of reactor that provide distinct advantages over other reactors including unequaled safety and economic competitiveness and improved operations and more effective.
AP1000 innovative approach to safety reduces the need for human intervention and potential for human error. Simplified building design can lead to significant savings in costs and time-table for accelerated building.
