Dominion's four reactors in Virginia have reactor pressure vessels from the same supplier as a Belgian reactor that was taken offline because of potential cracks, a Dominion spokesman said. Netherlands-based Rotterdam Dry Dock manufactured the vessels. "We have done multiple and extensive 10-year inservice inspections of our RPVs, as required by the NRC, and we have found no indication of any cracking," said Richard Zuercher of Dominion.
