Westinghouse submits AP1000 design revision to NRC
Yesterday, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced that it has received an application from Westinghouse to renew and update the design certification (DC) for its AP1000 reactor. This application seeks to formally incorporate the lessons learned from the construction of Vogtle-3 and -4 into the design control document (DCD) of the AP1000.
This long-expected submittal builds on previous plans at both the NRC and Westinghouse for the future of gigawatt-scale light water reactor deployments in the United States.

Under a collaborative agreement between the US and Japan, two tritium processing components, a palladium diffuser and a ceramic electrolysis cell, have been tested with tritium for application to a Fuel Cleanup System(FCU) for plasma exhaust processing at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The fundamental characteristics, compatibility with tritium, impurities effects with tritium, and long-term behavior of the components, were studied over a three year period. Based on these studies, an integrated process loop, “JAERI Fuel Cleanup System” equipped with the above components was installed at the TSTA for full scale demonstration of the plasma exhaust reprocessing.
