  • KHNP CRI has been developing APR+ nuclear power plant since 2007, which is GEN III+ model with 4,361 MWth capacity. To develop safer and more economical nuclear power plant than APR1400, we studied domestic and foreign nuclear power plants under construction. We also reviewed nuclear power plants which are appropriate for domestic construction in Korea and also for export. Economic assessments were made twice during the second phase of standard detailed design of the plant. The result of the second phase of economic analysis for APR+ standard detailed design showed that APR+ N-th plant was 24.6% more economical than coal-fired 1,000MW power plant, and was evaluated to be competitive enough in global market for construction of the nuclear power plant.
