Needs updating
editAs of the writing of this note, the article needs to be brought up to date with the status of the global APR-1400 fleet. At the very least, Shin Kori 4 has come into commercial operation. But the pipeline of reactors under construction has likely changed in other ways (e.g., construction starts or cancellations). Vigormaster (talk) 12:48, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
Why was US NRC approval needed
editWhy was US NRC approval needed for the design ? Was it to allow sales in US ? required by an international non-proliferation agreement, or to allow purchase from US of some required components ? - Rod57 (talk) 13:06, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
- I think it is because smaller countries rely on designer's own country and/or NRC technical appraisal & approval (or possibly UK GDA approval) as the technical basis for their own approval. Without one of these already (expensively) done it has hardly any chance these days of approval elsewhere. But I don't have a cite to hand for this, but recall reading about this.
