1. Nuclear Systems Development, ABB Combustion Engineering Nuclear Power (US)

This paper reports that 1991 was a year of great progress in the design certification process for ABB Combustion Engineering Nuclear Power's 1300 MWe evolutionary advanced light water reactor (ALWR) plant, System 80+. As the next generation of nuclear power plants move toward final design approval by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), elements of the design process that emphasize operation and maintenance have become the focus. For System 80+, licensing under the new design certification process is now concentrated on operational support, human engineering, plant layout, and computer-aided engineering.
