The AP1000® (Advanced Plant) is a 1100-MWel-class pressurized water reactor with innovative passive-safety features and extensive plant simplifications that enhance construction, operation, maintenance, and safety. The passive-safety features of the plant use natural driving forces such as pressurized gas, gravity flow, natural circulation flow, and natural convection. These features do not rely on active components (such as pumps, fans, or diesel generators) or safety-grade support systems (such as alternative current (AC) power, component cooling water, service water, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)).
