In order to develop a competitive and high performance Next Generation BWR with fossil power plant, an internal CRD using a heatproof ceramics insulated coil is under development. In case of a 1700MWe next generation BWR, the internal CRDs are installed in a RPV whose size is equivalent to the 1356 MWe ABWR, and there will be no space required for CRDs and CRD exchange under RPV. These advantages realize a compact PCV and reduced volume of a reactor building. Moreover, the internal CRDs eliminate penetration via a bottom flange of RPV, and lower installation level of RPV in a drywell. This brings further advantages of elimination of RIA (Reactivity Induced Accidents) caused by CR withdrawing under pressure boundary broken, and easy IVR (In Vessel Retention) by vessel bottom cooling in case of a severe accidents.
