Possible source

Link to System 80+ description."Backgrounder on New Nuclear Plant Designs". United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 12 December 2014. Retrieved 11 March 2015. This 1,300 MWe pressurized water reactor is an improved Combustion Engineering System 80 nuclear steam supply system and a balance-of-plant design developed by Duke Power Co. The System 80+ design's safety systems provide emergency core cooling, feedwater and decay heat removal. The design also has a reactor depressurization system, a gas-turbine generator as an alternate AC power source beyond the required emergency diesel generators, and an in-containment refueling water storage tank to enhance the reactor's safety and reliability. System 80 was implemented at Palo Verde and elements of S80 were used in OPR-1000. S80 itself was descended from the SONGS/Waterford-3 design (Series 78?), which descended from the Series 67 design (St Lucie/Calvert Cliffs?). --Mliu92 (talk) 20:15, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Concerned about sources

I am concerned about the sources for the article. Both the cited sources are deadlinks. The above is good, but it doesn't support everything in the article.

The bit that I am really struggling sourcing, after a google search, is that System 80+ contributed design features to the AP1000. I guess it makes sense since the AP1000 and AP600 were developed by Westinghouse after they bought Combustion Engineering, but it would be nice to have a proper source.

After a bit more Googling, I've found this presentation (and this, which is similar but longer). It says "∆125 Steam Generators – Similar to large W/CE SG in operation – System 80; ANO RSG." ANO RSG is Arkansas Nuclear One Replacement Steam Generator. That's the only mention of System 80 in the whole presentation... but it is kind of what we are looking for... but is "similar in operation" enough?

This presentation is interesting. Slide 9 talks about how Westinghouse is the "Mother of All PWRs", with a history going back to the 1950s. Slide 10 says:

"

• Combustion-Engineering (C-E, later ABB/C-E, then W):
  • C-E independently developed their own PWR designs for U.S. market, which in key technical areas was ahead of Westinghouse (even today the key components in AP1000 are based on C-E technology)
  • crowning achievement was the System-80 design(Palo Verde-1/2/3)
  • C-E made a total Technology Transfer Agreement with South Korea, which is the basis for their fleet of (12) OPR1000 (8 in operation), and (4) APR1400 (under construction)
• KHNP (Korean Hydro & Nuclear Power Company):
  • the OPR1000 was directly based on C-ESystem-80/80+design
  • the APR1400 is using Korean technology, and represents a further development of the System-80+ design

"

So it is saying AP1000 traces back to Construction Engineering, but doesn't explicitly mention System 80 in that context. It does mention it explicitly in the context of APR1400
