The APR-1400 (for Advanced Power Reactor 1400 MW electricity) is an advanced pressurized water nuclear reactor designed by the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). Originally known as the Korean Next Generation Reactor (KNGR), this Generation III reactor was developed from the earlier OPR-1000 design and also incorporates features from the US Combustion Engineering (C-E) System 80+ design. Currently in South Korea there are 3 units in operation (Shin Kori unit 3 and 4, Shin Hanul unit 1), and 3 units in construction (Shin Hanul unit 2, Shin Kori unit 5 and 6). Three units are completed and in commercial operation in the United Arab Emirates at Barakah, with one more under construction at the same plant.
