China moving fast, pours concrete for reactor

China isn't wasting time pouring concrete for more nuclear reactors:

Westinghouse: First Concrete Pour For Haiyang Unit 2 Nuclear Plant Completed in Record Time


"Haiyang is the site of two Westinghouse AP1000 units that are being built under a contract signed in 2007 for four AP1000 units. Two other AP1000 units are currently under construction at Sanmen, China. The first of the four units, Sanmen Unit 1, is scheduled to come online in 2013, with each unit thereafter subsequently coming online approximately six months later. Additionally, Westinghouse, Shaw and China are currently in discussion on plans for more AP1000 plants to be sited inland of China's coastal areas."

Bully! And of course Westinghouse is a under Toshiba, who's working with Bill Gates to make neighborhood nuke plants. We'll get this nuclear thing right yet.
