10 © 2011 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 Major Safety Advancements of AP1000 ● No Reliance on AC Power; Long Term Plant Safety Assured without Active Components (Natural Forces Only) – For Station Blackout (SBO), AP1000 meets aggressive 72 hours coping time requirements for passive plants – Active plants SBO coping period requirement is 8 hours or less – Significant risk reduction for loss of power events: – For advanced active plants design, LOOP / SBO events are a dominant contributor to the Core Damage Frequency (in the range of 25+%) – AP1000 CDF contribution for loss of Offsite Power / SBO is 0.4% ● No Operator Action Required to Assure Safety ● In Severe Accidents, Reactor Vessel Cooling Keeps Core in Vessel ● Large Margin to Safety Limits ● Defense in Depth - Active Systems Provide ADDITIONAL first line of defense

16 © 2011 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 Severe Accidents Addressed ● In-Vessel Retention (IVR) –External reactor vessel cooling –Provides reliable means of cooling damaged core –Prevents vessel failure –AP600/AP1000 tests and analysis of IVR reviewed by U.S. NRC ● High Pressure Core Melt –Eliminated by ADS ● Hydrogen Detonation –Prevented by igniters and passive autocatalytic recombiners ● Steam Explosions –In-Vessel – no RV failure –Ex-Vessel – eliminated by IVR ● Core Concrete Interaction –Eliminated by IVR

17 © 2011 Westinghouse Electric Company LLC. All Rights Reserved.Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 Why In-Vessel Retention 1.PRA/PSA shows ex-vessel phenomena risk significant. IVR prevents ex-vessel phenomena 2.Simple strategy for operators: Provide water 3.Core melt does not attack containment barrier

All Rights Reserved.Westinghouse Non-Proprietary Class 3 Spent Fuel Pool Cooling Lines of Defense ● During Normal and Abnormal Conditions, the active defense in depth and duty systems provides highly reliable spent fuel pool cooling –Spent Fuel Cooling System, Residual Heat Removal System, Component Cooling Water System, Service Water System all have 2*100% design for active components –Offsite power backup provided by 2*100% Onsite Standby Diesel Generators with automatic startup on loss of offsite power ● For unlikely events with extended loss of AC power (station blackout) and/or loss of heat sink, the safety case for the AP1000 is provided by passive means –Simple or no operator actions are required for 72 hours –Beyond 72 hours, one of the two PCS Recirculation Pumps (powered by the Ancillary Diesel Generators) is used to pump water from the Ancillary Tank to the Spent Fuel Pool. The Ancillary Tank contains sufficient volume of makeup water to continue this action from 72 hours to approximately 7 days. ● Even for Extreme Events, the Spent Fuel Pool spray system provides an additional line of defense to provide fuel cooling
