+Westinghouse has stepped up its communication activities following the Fukushima disaster in Japan. According to the company's head of EMEA Stakeholder Relations, [[Adrian Bull]]:
 :"The industry has come a long way in improving its communication in recent years, but we all recognise the need for building even stronger relationships with our multiple stakeholders after the Fukushima incident and as the pace of new build quickens.

 In July 2007 Westinghouse submitted its AP1000 pressurised water reactor design to the UK’s nuclear regulators (the [[Office for Nuclear Regulation]] (ONR) and the [[Environment Agency]]) for assessment under their Generic Design Assessment process (GDA). This assessment was originally due to be completed by June 2011. <ref> [https://www.ukap1000application.com/index.aspx AP1000 application website], accessed 29 August 2009.</ref>
-In July 2011 the ONR and Environment Agency said that they expected to issue interim design acceptance confirmations (iDAC), and interim statements on design acceptability (iSODA) for the AP1000 design and the EPR by the end of the year. A list of GDA Issues would identify outstanding matters that need to be addressed before the regulators will provide a Design Acceptance Confirmation (for ONR) or Statement of Design Acceptability (Environment Agency).
