GNPT's designation for the Westinghouse plants built in South Korea before the country moved to its own designs: Kori 2, 3 and 4 and Hanbit 1 and 2. They are the technical starting point for the Korean nuclear industry. The line runs from here through the OPR-1000 to the APR-1400 that Korea now exports.
