Nuclear Power
Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction is writing the history of nuclear power development in Korea.
We have supplied the major equipment to numerous nuclear power plants in Korea (23 in total), beginning with Hanbit nuclear power plants units 1 and 2. We have also supplied main equipment for total 12 units of the OPR1000, beginning with Hanbit nuclear power plants units 3 and 4, by participating in the development of the first domestic model, OPR1000. Furthermore, we have successfully localized the nuclear power plant by developing a design/manufacturing technology for Reactor Coolant Pumps (RCP) and Instrumentation and Control (I&C) System in 2012, and beginning with Shin Hanul nuclear power plant units 1 and 2, we completely localized the entire equipment of APR1400, which is the next generation of the OPR1000, from design to manufacturing.
Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction is now taking the lead in exporting to the global nuclear power plant market based on its outstanding technological accomplishment.
We have been recognized globally for its technology and quality after supplying the Replacement Steam Generator (RSG) for Sequoyah in the U.S., and the AP1000® Reactor Vessel (RV) and Steam Generator (SG) to China and U.S., beginning with the contract to supply steam generators for the Qinshan Phase III nuclear power plant units 1 and 2 in China in 1997. We participated in the Barakah nuclear power plant units 1,2,3 & 4, which were first exported with the APR1400, as a member of Team Korea in 2010. We have also earned recognition for its technological excellence among overseas customers by supplying all major equipment “on time and within budget”. The APR1400 is considered the most cost-effective nuclear power plant model. We plan to provide safe and reliable maintenance services by signing a Maintenance Service Agreement (MSA) for the Barakah nuclear power plants, based on its equipment supplying know-how.
Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction aims to be the best in the world while refusing to become complacent about its current success.
We are speeding up the development of technology related to spent fuel transportation and storage casks and nuclear facility decommissioning, and are expanding the scope of its participation to the service market at 扑克王app官方home and abroad. We have also announced strategic cooperation in supplying the main equipment for America’s first small modular reactor.

Equipment
Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction is Korea’s only major equipment supplier for nuclear power plants and boasts a high level of technology and manufacturing experience.
Nuclear reactor and internal structure
A nuclear reactor, a core element of a nuclear power plant, is designed for self-control and the maintenance of chain nuclear reactions, and makes use of heat energy from nuclear fission within the reactor. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction provides reactor model APR1400, a 3rd-generation and Korean standard nuclear power plant, and the AP-1000 from Westinghouse to Korea, the U.S., the UAE, China and other countries.
A reactor vessel is designed to withstand high temperatures and high pressures in order to provide a space for containing nuclear fuel and chain reaction. It contains reactor internal components with a bottom head welded at the lower part of its cylindrical body.
The reactor vessel closure head assembly is a flanged hemispherical component bolted to the vessel by studs, nuts and washers to facilitate refueling and inspection.
Steam Generator
The steam generator converts the secondary feedwater into the saturated steam and supplies it to the turbine system, using the primary coolant that is heated while circulating the reactor core. The heat-transfer tubes inside the steam generator form a pressure boundary between the primary system, which is the reactor coolant system, and the secondary system, which is the turbine/generator system.
Nuclear Reactor Coolant Pump
A nuclear reactor coolant pump is installed at the primary system of the nuclear power plant. The large capacity vertical pump is a key part of the nuclear steam supply system and delivers the heat generated by nuclear reaction to the steam generator by compulsively circulating the high-temperature and high-pressure coolant.
Control Element Drive Mechanism
The CEDM (control element drive mechanism) is an electric device that controls the level of nuclear reaction at the nuclear core, by withdrawing, inserting, stopping, and dropping the control rod in the vertical direction inside the nuclear reactor, according to the operating signal received from the CEDM control system.
Pressurizer
The pressurizer acts as a surge tank that provides an expansion and contraction space for the reactor coolant during normal operation, and keeps the reactor coolant pressure constant using the spray nozzle at the top of the pressurizer and the heater at the bottom.
Integrated Head Assembly
Located at the top of a reactor, an integrated head assembly (IHA) lifts and transports both itself and the reactor vessel’s top cover simultaneously when reloading nuclear fuel, and cools the CEDM by forming a cooling air flow path to remove the heat generated by the CEDM
Nuclear Fuel Handling Equipment
Nuclear fuel handling equipment is used to transport and handle the nuclear fuel and the control element assembly in a nuclear power plant. It is composed of a nuclear refueling machine, spent fuel handling equipment, control element assembly change platform, fuel transfer equipment, a new fuel elevator, and control element assembly elevator. The equipment is operated under various control conditions set for the safe loading and removal of the nuclear fuel and the control element assembly.
Fuel Storage Rack
A fuel storage rack is a structure designed to store nuclear fuel used inside a power plant safely. It is composed of a new fuel storage rack and a spent fuel storage rack. The fuel storage rack keeps the temperature of nuclear fuel below a certain level by controlling the chain reaction of nuclear fuel and designing the coolant inflow, and protects nuclear fuel from external force such an earthquake.
Post-tensioning System of the Containment Building
The post-tensioning system of the containment building is a method of construction that applies internal stress to the nuclear reactor containment building in advance, in order to prevent the occurrence of tensile stress and deformation exceeding the allowable value for a concrete structure due to abnormal pressure inside the containment building. In this way, the post-tensioning system maintains the structural integrity of the reactor containment building under design basis accident conditions, such as loss of coolant.
Heat Exchanger
A heat exchanger is a kind of pressure vessel that is used to transfer heat energy from a high-temperature fluid to a low-temperature fluid without allowing any direct contact between the two fluids. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction designs, manufactures, and supplies various tubular heat exchangers – such as shutdown cooling heat exchangers, regenerative heat exchangers, and letdown heat exchangers – that are installed in nuclear power plants.
Pressure Vessels and Tanks
A pressure vessel is used to maintain and prevent the pressure of gas or fluid exceeding the atmospheric pressure inside the vessel. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction designs, manufactures, and supplies various types of pressure vessels – such as safety injection tanks, volume control tanks, and reactor drain tanks – that are installed in nuclear power plants.
Instrumentation and Control (I&C) System
An instrumentation and control (I&C) system ensures the safe operation of a power plant and performs the function of preventing various types of accidents.
Supply of Total Nuclear Power Plant I&C Package
The Man-Machine Interface System (MMIS) corresponds to the brain and neural network of the nuclear power plant, and manages the operation, control, monitoring, instrumentation, and safety functions in an integrated manner in the event of an emergency. It is an instrumentation and control (I&C) system that ensures the safe operation of a nuclear power plant and prevents accidents as the fusion of digital and human engineering technology by using a state-of-the-art computer and controller. Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction has successfully localized the MMIS facility, which is a representative safety-critical field in which safety and reliability are the main priority, and has supplied it to Shin Hanul Units 1 and 2. The system will also be supplied to Shin Kori plant units 5 and 6, and worldwide marketing campaigns aimed at overseas nuclear power plants are also under way.
