AP1000 - Wikipedia
The AP1000 is a nuclear power plant designed and sold by Westinghouse Electric Company. The plant is a pressurized water reactor with improved use of passive nuclear safety and many design features intended to lower its capital cost and improve its economics.
Issued Design Certification - Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000)
Issued Design Certification - Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) Project Overview. On March 28, 2002, the NRC staff initiated its formal review of the AP1000 pressurized-water reactor (PWR) design, when Westinghouse Electric Company submitted its application for final design approval (FDA) and standard design certification for the AP1000 design.

The AP1000: A Pressurized Water Reactor
The Advanced Passive 1000 (AP1000) is a nuclear pressurized water reactor (PWR) originally designed by Westinghouse Electric Company. With the AP1000, Westinghouse sought to design a reactor that operated using conventional pressurized water reactor principles, while incorporating novel safety measures in order to increase reliability and cost ...
AP1000 is designed around a conventional 2-loop, 2 steam generator primary system configuration that is improved in several details. AP1000 is rated at 3400 MW(t) core power and, depending on site conditions, nominally 1117 MW(e). The core contains 157 fuel assemblies, similar to Doel 4 and Tihange 3. AP1000
This section describes the design bases and functional requirements used in the nuclear design of the fuel and reactivity control system and relates these design bases to the General Design Criteria (GDC). The design bases are the fundamental criteria that must be met using approved analytical techniques.
