System 80+

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The System 80+ is a pressurized water reactor , of the ALWR (Advanced Light Water Reactors, advanced light water reactors counts), It was developed by Combustion Engineering ; later the technology was transferred to the Westinghouse company . The System 80+ is the further development of the System 80 .

The reactor will be used at the Yeonggwang (Units 5 and 6) and Uljin (Units 3 to 6) locations in South Korea . The system 80+ was later developed into the Korean APR-1400 nuclear reactor .
