Exelon Steps Back On Texas Nuke; Unistar Advances

摘要

Citing economic malaise and its failure to get a federal loan guarantee, Exelon Corp. said Wednesday it will seek a more preliminary early site permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for its proposed new nuclear plant in Victoria County, Texas., rather than a combined construction and operating license as previously intended.rnChicago-based Exelon said the "change in licensing strategy allows Exelon to continue with some aspects of site evaluation and approvals while deferring a decision on construction and technology choices for up to 20 years."
