Three nuclear power plant designs being considered for new build in the Netherlands are all suitable and would meet safety and siting requirements, nuclear regulator ANVS has said, while confirming that one design has been withdrawn from the process.
ANVS said it had come to its conclusions following a review of “self-studies” carried out on the three technologies at the request of the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth (KGG).
The three technologies are US-based Westinghouse’s AP1000, French state utility EDF’s EPR and Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power’s (KHNP) APR1400.
