Companies design safer reactors in response to Fukushima
Companies
were working on safety enhancements in reactor designs before the
Fukushima Daiichi incident and further design improvements have been
made since, experts say. For example, Westinghouse's AP1000, which is
being used for the Plant Vogtle expansion project and has been proposed
for others, features passive safety systems that, if needed, use gravity
instead of pumps to transport water to cool the reactor core. The Wall Street Journal
