New nuclear plant design consultation starts The Environment Agency thinks both of the potential new designs of nuclear plant vying to replace the UK's aging fleet - Westinghouse's AP1000 and EDF/Areva's UK EPR - could be accepted under the Generic Design Assessment. The agency said a Statement of Design Acceptability could be issued but wants further work undertaken on: decommissioning arrangements; filtration and ventilation systems; disposability of spent fuel; and monitoring of discharges and disposals of radioactive waste. The EA is now consulting on its findings. The consultation can be found here and will run for 12 weeks. Source: Utility Week © Faversham House Group Ltd 2010. News articles may be copied or forwarded
