Critics Challenge Safety of New Reactor Design

The New York Times April 21, 2010 By Matthew L Wald

While southern company are moving toward construction of two new reactors at a site near Georgia, apponents are looking at design details.The Westinghouse Ap 1000 is set up for other locations as well, but it hasn't fully been approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The purporse of this is to be safer than plants today and ensures that there will be no fuel melting in an accident.
This is a great idea and hopefully they will follow through with it. The westinghouse ap 1000 seems like it'll work out perfectly. The author of this article speaks great in detail of the upcoming events of this new piece.
