“The NRC needs to enforce standardized design”
Government control of a critical and innovative industry?
When and where has that ever worked?
My original post was not meant to stymie new designs, it was meant to require standardize the design for multiple reactors on a site.
For instance, WPPSS was building 5 reactors in the 80’s, Those 5 were based on 3 different designs. Only 1 got completed, the other 4 were mothballed
1 unit was a boiling water reactor and the other 4 were pressurized reactors. The 4 pressurized reactors used to different building designs to hose the various systems.
That’s what I was trying to get at
