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.

It is often desirable to solve the two-dimensional multigroup transport equation for (r-z) geometries directly given by hydrodynamic calculations. Usually, only Monte Carlo codes can compute α or k eigenvalues on such geometries. Most deterministic codes use an orthogonal mesh or restrict the mesh to a regular triangular grid. Other methods were developed at Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique and Los Alamos National Laboratory but do not solve the problem of sliding between two Lagrangian blocks. Thus, a production code has been developed that solves these problems and is able to obtain α or k eigenvalues with a good degree of accuracy for such geometries.
