Other : DE Report No. Powers noted that all US nuclear plants have containments, while nuclear materials production reactors operated by the DoE are protected by confinements. The real issue is whether the proposed confinement concept provides the level of accident mitigation consistent with the defence-in-depth safety philosophy.

The NRC has taken a preliminary position that multiple reactor modules of the same design can be included in a single combined construction- operation licence COL. But the term of the licence would be limited to 40 years from the issuance of the COL, regardless of when the final module was built, and the duration of the design approved within the COL should be limited to five years.
