AGR An advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) is a type of nuclear reactor. The second generation of British gas-cooled reactors, using graphite as the neutron moderator and carbon dioxide as a coolant.   [..]

BWR Boiling light water cooled and moderated reactor. In a BWR, the reactor core heats water, which turns to steam and then drives a steam turbine.  

CF Capacity factor: The actual energy output of an electricity-generating device divided by the energy output that would be produced if it operated at its rated power output (Reference Unit Power) for [..]

The date when the plant is handed over by the contractors to the owner and declared to be officially in commercial operation.  

The date when first major placing of concrete, usually for the base mat of the reactor building, is made. From this date the reactor is considered to be under construction.  

CNPP The CNPP compile background information on the status and development of nuclear power programmes. It consists of organizational and industrial aspects of nuclear power programmes and provides in [..]

The original Design Net Capacity (electrical power) is the unit electrical output after deducting the self-consumption power assumed by the original unit design, no matter if it has ever been routinel [..]

Net electrical energy produced during the reference period as measured at the unit outlet terminals, i.e. after deducting the electrical energy taken by unit auxiliaries and the losses in transformers [..]

EAF The energy availability factor over a specified period, is the ratio of the energy that the available capacity could have produced during this period, to the energy that the reference unit power c [..]
