APR1400
Generation III+ pressurized water reactor by KEPCO (Korea) with 1400 MWe net capacity, featuring enhanced safety and 60-year design life.
The APR1400 uses 241 fuel assemblies, digital I&C, and hybrid passive-active safety. Four units operate at Shin-Kori (Korea), with four more at Barakah (UAE, all grid-connected by 2024). Certified by US NRC in 2019 for potential export.
Why it matters now
APR1400's UAE success positions it for 2025-2026 exports to Eastern Europe and Middle East, bolstering supply chain amid HALEU shortages for Western designs.
