History of US-APWR Technology
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) developed the Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor (APWR) technology to meet the demands of the global nuclear power market. The plant design offers higher performance, cost efficiency and ease of maintenance. The APWR technology was originally designed as a part of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s “Third Phase Improvement Standardization Program for Light Water Reactors.” The US-APWR is a design that has been modified slightly to comply with requirements of the U.S. nuclear industry.
The US-APWR design integrates the operational experiences and technology improvements of MHI’s nuclear power plant experience in Japan. The advanced technology results from careful research and development, including building and operating scale models of the plant components. The US-APWR design will allow MHI to enter the global nuclear power market.
