That specific part is not in the piece, you're right. I believe it was in an interview I listened to recently, I'll see if I can find it.
However, it is true that Votgle had already applied for a COL prior to the ruling being made and that the design was already certified by NRC. The fact that a senior NRC regulator said that Westinghouse should have changed their design beforehand according to a rule that didn't exist yet is... insane.
Not to mention that the head of the NRC at the time is publically for a global ban on nuclear energy, was the sole veto vote against Votgle, pushed for the new aircraft strike rules personally, and was asked to resign by several NRC commissioners due to his unprofessional behavior. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Jaczko https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Jaczko
