The activity generating the emissions is nuclear power plant construction, pressure water reactor, 1000MW. The reference product is nuclear power plant, pressure water reactor, 1000MW. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a nuclear power plant, pressure water reactor 1000MW. The infrastructure has a capacity of 1,000MW and a lifetime of 40 years. Estimation based on data of the power plant in Gösgen, CH with a net installed capacity of 970 MW (constant capacity over 1996 - 2002). The process includes building materials (steel, copper, titan, aluminium, concrete, asbestos cement, wood and paper, oil, diesel and heating oils), their decommission, energy  requirements for the construction and land use.   The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation here for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.11/cutoff/dataset/7503/documentation.
