Secretary of Energy Announces New Nuclear Plant Licensing Demonstration Project Awards


WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced awards to two nuclear utility-led consortia under the Nuclear Power 2010 program.<SNIP>


The Dominion project could lead to a license to build and operate an Atomic Energy of Canada, Ltd (AECL) Advanced CANDU Reactor (ACR-700) at the North Anna site in Louisa County, Va. The Dominion-led team includes AECL and its U.S. subsidiary AECL Technologies of Frederick, Md.; Bechtel Power Corporation of Frederick, Md.; and Hitachi America Inc, located in Tarrytown, N.Y. If a nuclear power plant order results from this work, Dominion potentially could have a new nuclear power plant in operation as early as 2014.<SNIP>


....for more on the ACR-700, visit the AECL web site at www.aecltechnologies.com
