New safer reactor designs aim for evolutionary safety gains
Three leading concepts target safer, simpler operation using passive safety features and modular construction. Westinghouse AP1000 cuts pumps and pipes and uses gravity driven cooling. GE ESBWR adds boiling water design with fewer pumps and faster loss of coolant response. AREVA EPR, a 1500 MW PWR, emphasizes a double wall concrete containment and molten core capture in a below containment cavity.
