The Standardized Nuclear Unit Power Plant System (SNUPPS) is the first successful attempt by a group of utilities at standardization of nuclear power plants in the United States. It is a project for building five identical units, in four different states, by a group of five utilities. With design engineering and procurement of equipment and materials being sixty percent complete and construction work started at two of the four sites, the project is well along in successful standardization. This article outlines the approaches and methods used in successful standardization.
