The historic decision made the Alpine nation an anti-nuclear island in the heart of an atomic-powered Europe.
2.
Modern nuclear plants, benefiting from decades of commercial experience and continuous design work, cost just under $ 8 / W, with approximately half of that in the nuclear island.
3.
The'nuclear island'at Sizewell B is based on a Callaway but with additional redundancy and diversity in the safety systems, and other modifications such as the addition of a passive Emergency Boration System.
4.
Because of how much it weighs, lifting and placing the CA-01 module into the Unit 2 Nuclear Island resulted in the heaviest lift for the V . C . Summer construction project to date.
5.
The division includes valve operations, a specialist pump business and service and aftermarket operations and is one of only a few businesses globally capable of providing specialist valves into the nuclear islands of third generation nuclear power stations.
6.
Reactor Unit 1 construction was estimated at 88 % complete ( mechanical-nuclear island ) and Unit 2 construction was estimated 58 % complete ( mechanical-nuclear island ) when TVA's Board suspended the project; and the plants'construction in 1988, after a combined $ 6 billion investment.

It is the first of the US AP1000 reactors under construction to achieve placement of this critical module, beating Vogtle Unit 3 to this milestone, and allowing other construction activities in the Nuclear Island to progress that could not proceed until the module was in place.
9.
Subsequent asset recovery activities ( i . e ., the removal ( without ordering or planning for replacement ), of useable equipment and systems to other TVA power plant sites ), along with more recent ( 2000s ) inspections of the operable state of remaining equipment, resulted in BLN 1 & 2 now being considered approximately 55 percent and 35 percent complete ( mechanical-nuclear island only ) respectively.
