Planned plants

Not convinced that this article is entirely accurate. For example, I wonder whether the two proposed

ESBWRs. Andrewa 16:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply

The rumor is that TVA was going to construct ABWRs at Bellefonte, but switched to AP-1000s rather than have the only ABWRs in the U.S. But this is a rumor. What is known is that TVA has chosen AP-1000s for Bellefonte and Entergy wants ESBWRs for Grand Gulf. And Constellation Energy (with AREVA) is even thinking of building EPRs in the U.S. But beyond that, nothing is firm yet - no contracts have been let, no official commitments have been made. I was waiting for the dust to settle before making changes in several articles. Simesa 19:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good! It just seemed to me that the ABWR was already a bit long in the tooth, remembering that the last time the USA built a nuke at home it took them 23 years (and even then they only finished half of it). (;-> Andrewa 03:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On reflection. I've rephrased it a little. No great changes but I think it better reflects the real situation. Andrewa 08:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced Acronym

Near the end of the section 'Overview of design', the acronym 'CDP' appears (the only instance in the article). What the hell does this mean? LorenzoB (talk) 03:30, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CDP probably means "Core Damage Probability". EPR = "European Pressurized Reactor" and WTH = "What The Hell". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.230.81.234 (talk) 23:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I was equally confused by the several unexplained acronyms in this sentence. I have changed it to: "According to GE, only after at least 30 million years does the
European Pressurised Reactor designs.". Core damage frequency seems to be our article on the subject, but my knowledge of nuclear reactors is...sketchy, so I'd welcome anyone changing it to a better article, if there is one!--Kateshortforbob talk 15:32, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply

List or table of built and planned ABWRs

Is there a list of ABWRs we can link to, or should we have a table/list in this article ? Rod57 (talk) 14:34, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Toshiba

Unless I am mistaken, Toshiba participated in the development of the ABWR and is marketing it around the globe separately from GE-Hitachi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thetrick (talk • contribs) 05:35, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reliability section

The sentence "often shutdown due to technical problems" is somewhat misleading - the ABWRs in Japan have been shutdown more because of political reasons than forced outages due to technical failures. Information on this can be found in the OPEX 2016, published by the IAEA http://www-pub.iaea.org/books/IAEABooks/11091/Operating-Experience-with-Nuclear-Power-Stations-in-Member-States-2016-Edition — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.164.232.119 (talk) 15:41, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
