Tva is only building as we need the power. We got in a lot of debt by building too many sites a few decades ago.

Are all nuclear powerplant facilities built in the same fashion with the levels of security needed in case of a "meltdown" or whatever else can happen? Or is it specific to the level of money the country/company has put into it. I guess I'm asking if there is some standardization that all plants try to conform to.
