"NRC Says New South Texas Nukes Don't Pass Ownership Test"

"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) said it would suspend review of the non-foreign ownership requirements of the proposed new reactors at South Texas because Japanese multinational Toshiba effectively controls the project. Foreign companies cannot control nuclear plants in the United States."

"In a letter dated December 13, the NRC said its staff would continue to review the application but would not issue a license until the foreign ownership requirements were met.

The NRC determined Toshiba controls Nuclear Innovation North America (NINA), the company developing the South Texas project."
