Britain is making some modifications in the Westinghouse pressurized water reactor (PWR) generic design used in the US and complying with the Standardized Nuclear Utility Power Plant System (SNUPPS). Britain is also working closely with Bechtel personnel on construction and safety improvements. The safety changes will improve emergency-core-cooling-system reliability, reduce the number of welds, improve shutdown capability, provide an emergency ultimate heat sink, lower staff radiation exposure, use turbine-generator configurations that are standard in British power plants, adapt to the British grid frequencies, and strengthen secondary containment buildings. 1 figure.
