Seven companies apply for new nuke plant license
This NY Times article reports on a consortium of seven major nuclear energy-related companies applying for a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to build a new nuclear power plant. The most recent nuclear power plant that was actually built received its license in 1973. Prospects for new reactor construction have recently become more encouraging because of persistently high natural gas prices stiff environmental requirements for coal power stations.
