AmerenUE picks UniStar, EPR for COL

摘要

The latest organization to come forward as potentially inter-ested in new nuclear capacity is AmerenUE, which announced on April 5 that it has entered into an agreement with UniStar Development Company, a subsidiary of UniStar Nuclear. The agreement does not commit AmerenUE to investing in or building a new power reactor, but it begins the process whereby a UniStar-AmerenUE partnership would apply next year to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a construction/operating license (COL) for a single U.S. EPR advanced pressurized water reactor. AmerenUE owns and operates the 1228-MWe Callaway PWR near Fulton, Mo., but AmerenUE and UniStar have not yet decided whether to propose Callaway as the site for the U.S. EPR or to choose a different site.
