Title: Advanced light water reactor requirements document: Chapter 6: Building design and arrangement: Revision 0

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6660952

The purpose of the Advanced LWR Plant Requirements Document is to define utility requirements for the building design and equipment arrangement of LWR plants, which incorporate the lessons learned from the evolution of LWR technology as applied to the generation of electricity, and to take advantage of that experience with the goals of improving safety, reliability, and operability at reduced overall power generation cost. The requirements in this revision of Chapter 6 are primarily those applicable to ALWRs of an evolutionary design. The general arrangement sketches which are included in Appendixes C and D are based on the evolutionary plant concept (designed to meet requirements described in this and other chapters of the ALWR Requirements Document).
