About

The Department for Work and Pensions awarded a contract to AMEC Foster Wheeler for the review of Westinghouse's validation evidence for the effectiveness of the AP1000 passive reactor heat removal system.

The contract, valued at £73,743.96, involved assessing the Passive Residual Heat Removal (PRHR) heat exchanger's capability to provide emergency core decay heat removal during plant transients, particularly when the startup feedwater system is unavailable.

The review examined the PRHR heat exchanger's design, its connection to the reactor coolant system, and its reliance on the In Containment Reactor Water Storage Tank (IRWST) as a heat sink, including the condensation and return mechanisms.

This assessment was part of the Generic Design Assessment (GDA) process for the AP1000 reactor, which Westinghouse resumed in 2014 to support the Moorside project.
