At last we may soon see a Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactor going up in Sanmen, China. The Chinese are so far ahead of us on this sort of thing that it is mind blowing. We should have at least a dozen of these things going up if Congress actually cares about weening this country off of coal and oil power plants.
According to Westinghouse, 'The AP1000 is the safest and most economical nuclear power plant available in the worldwide commercial marketplace, and is the only Generation III+ reactor to receive Design Certification from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission.'
