The Hanbit nuclear power plant ( called Yonggwang nuclear power plant until 2013 , pronounced [ ˈjɔŋɡwaŋ ]) with six reactor blocks is located on the west coast of South Korea on the Yellow Sea , in the far north-west of Jeollanam-do province .
Hanbit 1 and 2 are pressurized water reactors with an output of 900 MW each, which were supplied by Westinghouse . The two units were built together with Hanul 1 and 2 and Kori 3 and 4 as part of the second phase of the Korean nuclear program. Whereas in phase 1 there were still turnkey power plants, Korean manufacturers came into play here on a large scale. In 1994 Hanbit 1 was able to report a record result of 103.02% capacity.
Hanbit 3 and 4 are 950 MW pressurized water reactors of the type CE System 80. They are the prototypes for the “Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant” and form phase 3 of the Korean nuclear program. All components are manufactured in Korea. Hanbit 3 became critical on October 13, 1994 and was first connected to the network on October 30, 1994. Hanbit 4 became critical on July 7, 1995 and connected to the network on July 18, 1995.
Hanbit 5 and 6 are 1000 MW pressurized water reactors in the "Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant" design. The planned cost was four billion dollars. Hanbit 5 became critical for the first time on November 24, 2001 and connected to the network for the first time on December 19, 2001. Hanbit 6 became critical on September 1, 2002 and connected to the network on September 16, 2002. The further development System 80+ of System 80 of Blocks 3 and 4 is used.
incident
On December 27, 2003, a leak was discovered during routine investigations in reactor 5. The reactor had to remain shut down until April 2004.
2012
Reactor 3 was shut down for annual inspection on October 18 (recommissioning was scheduled for November 24); cracks were found in six control rod tunnels.
Economy Minister Hong Suk-woo declared in Seoul in November 2012 that two nuclear reactors at the Hanbit NPP had been shut down due to missing (better: falsified) certificates. They could stay off until early 2013. Strict safety controls for the two reactors are required. It is inevitable that Korea will experience an unprecedented power shortage in winter. South Korea's energy supply network is chronically overloaded at peak times. These are reactors 5 + 6.
Data of the reactor blocks
The Hanbit nuclear power plant has a total of six blocks :
| Reactor block | Reactor type | Construction line | electrical power |
