U.S. nuclear regulator OKs reactor construction

WASHINGTON, United States - Five commissioners of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission attend a hearing at the NRC headquarters in the suburbs of Washington on Feb. 9, 2012. The commission approved the construction of new nuclear reactors for the first time in 34 years, licensing two additional reactors at a plant in Georgia. The decision by a 4-1 vote, with the opposition cast by Chairman Gregory Jaczko (C), authorizes Westinghouse Electric Co., a subsidiary of Toshiba Corp., to build and operate the new reactors at Georgia's Vogtle nuclear plant.
