(RTTNews) - British engineering company Invensys plc (ISYS.L: News ), a takeover target eyed by many companies, reported Thursday a decline in fiscal year 2012 profit hurt mainly by additional costs from its nuclear projects in China.

SNC/Westinghouse discussed the proposed design changes to the existing configuration in the field related to the Vogtle Unite 3 basemat. Westinghouse discussed those changes using the attached figures. SNC/Westinghouse concluded that with these modifications, it believes that the basemat will be within the DCD (Figure 3H-5.3) requirements and therefore, no licensing basis changes are required (No LAR is required). SNC also asked NRC feedback on this. The NRC staff stated that it will get back to SNC later. Later on May 2, the staff informed that SNC should make its engineering and licensing decisions and document appropriate actions in the corrective action process. When SNC is ready, it should re-engage the Region II team lead on its actions to address the potential notice of violation, including any changes to address the rebar design with respect to the DCD. Should the Region inspectors feel the need for NRO support aid in its review, it would request such assistance. If at some point in the future SNC decides that there is a need for a license amendment, NRO/DNRL would be here to support.
