The advanced-passive reactor, the AP1000, is already a proven technology in the world.... Some 1, 300 man years of design and safety work has already been carried out on that type of design. In terms of fuel efficiency, the newer forms of nuclear reactor are some 10 times more economic than current counterparts-for each gigawatt of power produced, they require 30 tonnes of fuel per year, compared with 300 tonnes of the same fuel required by Magnox power stations. Those new designs are very safe and have a passive safety system, which is not reliant on electric pumps or other automated facilities as is the present case. 3, record 4, English, - advanced%20passive%20reactor

Floating drilling rigs are normally referred to as "drill vessels" or "drilling vessels" and are in the truest sense of the word "vessels. "For a seafaring man, however, they differ in many respects from his general conception of a vessel. [As opposed to the traditional vessel, ] the drill vessel often anchors for weeks and even months at one location. It may move only short distances from well to well. Seldom, if ever, does it need to visit port except for major repair or inspection.... Many drill vessels, semi-submersibles for instance, cannot even be handled in present dry-dock facilities because of their size. 6, record 5, English, - floating%20drilling%20vessel
