That version was certified in 2006 and is still certified.<br /><br />Westinghouse is now up to Revision 17 of the DCD, which the NRC is still reviewing. The questions that have been raised by the NRC are concerned with the amended design -- i.e., the changes that have been made since Revision 15.Brian Mayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13962229896535398120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-75178700932476611592010-01-10T20:31:49.175-05:002010-01-10T20:31:49.175-05:00Brian Mays said, "Westinghouse amended the de...Brian Mays said, "Westinghouse amended the design."<br /><br />Is that really the case?

The current NRC chairman was planted there by Obama to STOP nuclear development. I was just reading his case for voting in favor of two "environmentalist" groups in order to have the Bellefonte construction permits pulled. As soon as one of the two current Republican commissioners terms is up there will be no way to get anything through the NRC. Obama and pals are trying to kill nuclear the same way they did back in the day by changing regulation constantly such that the utilities can never keep up. Take the AP100 for example, they had already certified the design and then revoked certification later. One can be sure that even if a plant is successfully built that the NRC will just change the ITAACs to make it impossible for the new plant to get its license.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-72400150151810142262010-01-09T13:57:00.367-05:002010-01-09T13:57:00.367-05:00It would be irrational to assign credit to Preside...It would be irrational to assign credit to President Obama for the applications now under review. In fact, the NRC is now delaying reviews because the NRC does not have enough employees. With an executive order, President Obama could reduce unemployment by ordering the NRC to hire enough reviewers to put the application process on a 24-hour a day schedule. Instead, President Obama appointed an anti-nuke as chairman of the NRC.D.
