The nuclear power plant Hanul ( 2013: Nuclear power plant Uljin ) is a nuclear power plant in Uljin in the province of Gyeongsangbuk -do in South Korea. It consists of six blocks with pressurized water reactors. Two other blocks are under construction.
Reactors
Hanul - 1 has a net electrical output of 945 MWe and a gross capacity of 985 MWe, he was commissioned in 1988. The net electrical output of 942 MWe Unit 2 is the gross capacity 984 MWe; commissioning was 1989. Hanul - 3 has a net output of 994 MWe and a gross capacity of 1047 MWe and was commissioned in 1998. The net electrical output of block 4 is 998 MWe, the gross output 1045 MWe; commissioning took place in 1999. Hanul 5 and 6 each have a net output of 1001 MWe and a gross capacity of 1048 MWe, commissioning took place in 2004 and 2005.
The reactor Hanul -6 is the latest South Korean reactor block. The net electric power is 5853 MW. The plant is among the largest nuclear plants on earth.
Currently, two reactors with an electrical power output of 1340 MW net (1400 MW gross) are planned. With the construction of the first new reactor was started on 10 July 2012. Operations are planned for the year 2017. The second block is followed one year later. The cost is estimated at around 6 billion U.S. dollars.
Data of the reactor units
The nuclear power plant Hanul has a total of six active blocks. The lifetime of the reactors is estimated on average every 40 years, so to be first likely be shut off in 2028.
