While here in the US we're still muddled with mental roadblocks about Nuclear the rest of the world (recently Finland too) are bidding out Gen III+ (and IV?) reactors requests.

"China plans to increase its nuclear generating capacity from 8,700 megawatts to 36,000 megawatts by 2020, a plan that calls for the building of at least one 1,000 megawatt nuclear reactor a year over the next 16 years."

While the article says "US-based Westinghouse" it should be noted that Westinghouse is owned by British Nuclear Fuels. And there is no GE bid in this with their Gen III+ ESBWR.

I best stop now before I rant for real. Cheers, -Pk
