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.

The cost of installation is a significant adder to the cost of the Modification driving the ROI and NPV equations. Cost and risk reduction are essential to the economic bottom line. Plants will need to implement modifications at a lower cost and risk, cost escalation, and plant upsets. These projects must deliver on promised benefits to O&M cost reduction. This is the last frontier in using digital to build a better and more efficient plant. Come hear what some smart utilities are doing to reduce risk, reduce cost, and increase efficiency in implementing their digital modifications effectively.
