Work on the Westinghouse reactor is now back on schedule, despite falling six months behind at the end of last year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The steel ring, which makes up part of the containment vessel, was lowered into place on 12\u00a0September. Composed of 36\u00a0steel plates 44.5\u00a0mm thick, it is 11.7\u00a0metres in height and weighs in excess of 500\u00a0tonnes. Installation of the third ring means that the steel safety shell now rises 35.7\u00a0metres above ground level, according to the Sanmen Nuclear Power Co.<\/p>\n<p>Sanmen 1\u00a0is one of two AP1000\u00a0pressurised water reactors being constructed at the site in Zhejiang province and is the lead unit of four AP1000\u00a0units currently being built in China. Construction is also under way on two AP1000s at Haiyang in Shandong province. Aris Candris, President and CEO of Westinghouse, told the recent World Nuclear Association Annual Symposium in London that all four AP1000\u00a0reactors are on course to commence operation between November 2013\u00a0and March 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The 700\u00a0tonne containment vessel bottom head (CVBH) for Sanmen 1\u00a0was set in December 2009, some six months behind schedule, but by the end of May 2010, with the setting of the second containment vessel ring, this construction delay was recovered. By providing quick feedback, such delays could be eliminated on the following units. In the case of the CVBH, welding was carried out within a fully-enclosed building for the reactors planned for Haiyang, leading to much shorter fabrication times for the CVBH for Haiyang 1\u00a0compared with that for Sanmen 1. According to Candris, the quick schedule recovery and optimization of construction processes would not have been possible without using modular construction.<\/p>\n<p>The next major milestone scheduled for Sanmen 1\u00a0is the installation of the reactor vessel and steam generators, which should take place in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Significant technology transfer was included in Westinghouse\u2019s contract for China\u2019s first four AP1000\u00a0reactors at Sanmen and Haiyang. At a press briefing following his speech, Candris admitted that it is possible that Westinghouse might not receive further contracts in China, although he expected that his company would have significant input in the next units. \u201cWe are negotiating with China for the next ten or so,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Candris also noted that, within about two years, the biggest revenue stream for Westinghouse is likely to be from the new build market. In addition to China, \u201cover 50\u00a0countries\u201d have recently contacted Westinghouse regarding new build.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The project to build the world\u2019s first AP1000, China\u2019s Sanmen 1, reached a construction milestone when the third steel ring of the plant\u2019s containment vessel was hoisted into place.
