Westinghouse nuclear reactor criticisms unfounded
Criticisms voiced about the new Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactor by an industry critic are completely unfounded, writes Rod Adams. Arnie Gundersen, who has not worked in the nuclear energy industry for over 25 years, claims that the AP1000 reactor is subject to dangerous leaks, despite the reactor having passed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's strict licensing review process. Adams notes that unlike the Chernobyl reactor that Gundersen uses as a comparison, the AP1000 doesn't have a positive void coefficient and can cool itself for several days, even without power or off-site cooling water.
