LATEST TECHNOLOGIES IN NUCLEAR POWER STATIONS
ABSTRACT
Nuclear power will be needed for future energy demands, which are expected to grow at different rates around the world. The opportunities for building new nuclear power plants around the world will be depend on need, energy demand growth, and issues related to global warming and climate change .New nuclear power plants (NNPPs) are being designed, procured, and constructed differently than those of the past. Computer technology using two-, three-, four-, and five-dimensional modeling and other i[/b]ntelligent technologies, along with data, databases, and electronic document sources, are being used extensively. This computer technology forms a computer-based information-modeling environment called the virtual power plant. As a result, these NNPPs will be designed and delivered with a virtual power plant that is comprehensive, detailed, and able to be integrated and interoperable with plant design, operations, and maintenance processes, as well as databases, document systems, and records systems of organizations that own and operate them.New nuclear power plants (NNPPs) are being designed, procured, and constructed differently than those of the past.

Also it discusses some special construction considerations that should be considered and provides an introduction about some future trends of NPP’s.
