Korea's export reactor explained — design, safety systems, track record and costhttps://energynote.kr/en/posts/apr1400-explained/Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:18:00 +0900https://energynote.kr/en/posts/apr1400-explained/<p>Eight APR1400 reactors are selling electricity as of September 2026, four in South Korea and four at Barakah in the United Arab Emirates. A ninth, Saeul 3, is in commissioning, three more are under construction in Korea, and two units of its 1,000 MW-class derivative are under contract in Czechia. By our count it is the only large reactor since 2010 exported to a newcomer country and completed by a vendor outside China and Russia, and also a design whose first units took roughly twice as long to build as planned.</p>
