And the question is: Why is that the case?  Nuclear plants aren't exactly 
designer showcases so why do they have to be different?  Why not have one 
good standard design and build according to one plan.  It seems to me it 
would be easier to create one good safe (as safe as possible )design and 
standardized things so if problems ocurr it would be easier to consults with 
experts.
