Washington (Platts)--12Feb2008
UniStar officially told NRC that Nine Mile Point will be the site for a
potential new reactor in a combined construction permit-operating license, or
COL, application that the Constellation Energy-EDF Group joint venture plans
to submit in the fourth quarter of this year.
In the February 8 letter and a February 12 press release, UniStar Nuclear
Energy reaffirmed that the reactor, if built, would be a US Evolutionary Power
Reactor. The "reference" plant for that Areva design is Calvert Cliffs-3;
UniStar submitted part of the Calvert Cliffs COL application last year and
plans to turn in the rest next month, the press release said.
