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.

Fundamental to the successful operation of any nuclear site is a first-class safety culture which strives to continually improve in response to good industry practices and operating experience feedback. Presenters will provide examples of either specific good practices and/or lessons learned at their site, following which an audience discussion will be initiated on alternative good practices and experiences in these areas
