Excellent.
In related news the president announced ANWR drilling would be commenced in five minutes and Ted Kennedy would be committed to the Yuri I. Nosenko Rehabilitation Center.
Adding there are beds for the next five hundred opposition legislators.

Excellent. We could use a few hundred more.
I wonder if these are going to be the low grade pebble type reactors?

When they start construction here in California I’ll know things are looking up. This is a good start, though.

This deserves an Oregon ping since Oregon State University did the research on this design by making a 1/4 scale model. Go Beavs. This design utilizes many passive safety systems and relies on the laws of physics and is the safest design on the planet.

Thank you, Westinghouse!!!! About time.

Hooray!!!
I heard the only company that can cast the reactor vessels is Japan Steel Works, and they have a four-year backlog....

Kinda,
Westinghouse was a once proud and mighty United States Company that is now owned by a foreign power. We no longer possess the manufacturing muscle to manufacture a nuclear power plant on our own. So good that we are going nuke, very, very bad that we cannot manufacture them ourselves.

And just a couple of days ago there was an
article about two being built here in South Carolina.
Geeze, if they keep this up, the entire Southeast will be glowing :)

Good Old Toshiba, the company that stole our run silent submarine technology from the Navy.

Love it!
Need to build about 200 more.
Stop using coal and natural gas for electricity.
Use coal for CTL (coal to liquid) and natural gas for (gas to liquid) transportation fuels.
In this way we could become energy self sufficient in a couple of decades.
Pass a law that we can't use natural gas for electricity production. If California doesn't like it-tough. Let them have blackouts. Or let them build more Nuclear power plants!

I'm pretty amazed that this thread is already showing up in a Google search for "toshiba lathes soviet union", which I used to find the NY Times article.
Frankly, these days I'm less worried about the Soviets of 20 years ago than this.
