Advanced Construction Methods for New Nuclear Power Plants Available to Purchase

This paper covers advanced construction technologies that are generally used for nuclear power plants and presents advanced construction methods that can contribute to an efficient and short construction schedule. The construction schedule is driven by the activities of the critical path. The advanced construction methods consist of Modularization, Improvement of Mechanical Rebar splices, Application of 3D-CAD system for information and control, and the installation of RVI and RCL at the same time. Some methods have been applied in actual Nuclear power projects and others have been developing under the research and development program. It incorporates the experiences and insights from recent nuclear construction projects all over the world.
