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.

Hydrogen depth profiles have been measured for stainless steel pre-irradiated with 10 keV helium ions with fluences close to the critical fluence, Fc. The hydrogen retention was stable with time at room temperature for the fluence above Fc. The retention was composed of the decay and stable components for the fluence below Fc. The annealing up to 400 °C indicated the same release behavior for the fluences below and above Fc.
