UK regulators provide update on reactor design assessments
UK regulators expect to complete the Generic Design Assessment process for the Westinghouse AP1000 and Hitachi-GE's UK Advanced Boiling Water Reactor in March and December of 2017, respectively. In its quarterly GDA report for February to April 2016 issued yesterday, the Office for Nuclear Regulation also said it has "developed 'entry criteria' to provide transparency on the factors that underpin our decision on readiness to commence GDA" for China General Nuclear's HPR1000 design.http://world-nuclear-news.org/RS-UK-regulators-provide-update-on-reactor-design-assessments-13071601.html
