N.R.C. Clears Way for Nuclear Plant Construction - NYTimes.com

N.R.C. Clears Way for Nuclear Plant Construction - NYTimes.com:
"WASHINGTON — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission unanimously approved a radical new reactor design on Thursday, clearing away a major obstacle for two utilities to begin construction on projects in South Carolina and Georgia.
