Business/Science/Misc. 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 China to decide on tenders for four nuclear reactors in February |
