ABB Combustion Engineering is developing and licensing an advanced standardized nuclear power plant design that will be available to meet utility needs in the early 1990's. The new design, called System 80+, is based upon evolutionary improvements to the System 80 Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) that is currently in operation at the Palo Verde nuclear plant in Arizona and under construction at the Yonggwang site in the Republic of Korea. The System 80+ design, covers the entire plant - from the reactor to the turbine/generator. Under a program partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Design Certification of System 80+ by the NRC is anticipated around the end of 1992. This paper focuses on the major variables in nuclear plant economics: construction schedule and costs.
