Different Forms of Modularity in Nuclear Power
There are distinct forms of modularity in nuclear power, not comparable to airplane assembly-line modularity. While nuclear plant assembly involves large metal components, chemical processes engineer explains similarities to chemical plant design. Modular construction in nuclear plants mirrors offshore platform model with pre-assembled sections and advanced certification requirements.
