The APWR containment stray system has a 50% x
4-train configuration instead of a 100% x
2-train configuration that PWRs use. The containment spray system is
combined with the residual heat removal system to simplify the
overall configuration. The main specifications of the reactor
containment facility are shown in Table 3.12.5.
Integrated digital instrumentation and control system
Conventional PWRs employed mainly analog instrumentation and control
systems until the 1980s,
Then, digital-type instrumentation and control systems using micro
processors were adopted. Hie
APWR employs an integrated digital instrumentation and control
system using micro processors and has optical-multiplex transmission
lines everywhere, including the reactor protection system, to
enhance control performance, reliability, maintainability and
testability.
Advanced main control room
The APWR employs an advanced main
control board with a console-type control board design and large
display panels, etc. to enhance operability further. The advanced
main control board (model for validation) is shown in Figure
3.12.9.
Console-type control board
design
The APWR improves monitoring and operating performance by
concentrating monitoring and operating tasks on a screen which has
touch operation. In addition, control functions, which are separated
onto several control boards for conventional plants, are integrated
and concentrated to reduce watching and operating burdens of
workers.
Large display panels
Large display panels show complete plant information in a shared
manner for all operating personnel. This makes it easier to
recognize all the operating conditions. By integrating and
concentrating common information and by making recognition of
information easier, the physical and mental burdens of operators are
reduced and the potential for human error is lessened. Alarming
systems are also improved to realize easier response to alarms by
using dynamic color-coded displays of plant status according to the
alarm importance and by displaying the alarm response procedures on
screens when the alarms are actuated.

3 Systems of PWR Nuclear Power Plants
The APWR employs a large capacity, high performance turbine
generator to get higher power output. The turbine has larger and
longer blades with an improved design; this design was achieved by
rigorous three-dimensional fluid flow analysis to convert steam
thermal energy to electricity efficiently.
The electric power generator uses a large size rotor to realize
large electrical power output and compact design, and also adopts an
integrated and simplified supporting structure of the ends of the
stator coils to strengthen the rigidity allowing it to withstand
increased electromagnetic forces and also to enhance reliability.
The APWR was originally developed in the third improvement and
standardization plan. It was further improved as a large light water
reactor plant by introducing many enhanced and new technologies for
attaining the targets of better safety, reliability, operability and
reduction of exposure doses, etc. by reflecting experiences of
construction and operation over many years. The first APWR plant
will be the Tsuruga Power Station Unit Nos. 3 and 4 of the Japan
Atomic Power Company, Ltd.
