30 April 2007 -- UniStar Nuclear, a jointly developed enterprise between Constellation Energy and AREVA Inc., told the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that a location adjacent to Constellation Energy's existing Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby, Md., has been selected as the site for UniStar Nuclear's first combined construction and operating license (COL) application. The application, which will use the U.S. Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) technology, will serve as the reference document for all future UniStar Nuclear COL applications to the NRC.
Identifying a specific site is the first step in a multi-step process required before a COL application can be submitted to the NRC, UniStar Nuclear said in a statement. It repeated previous cautions that the step does not represent a commitment on the part of Constellation Energy to build a new nuclear plant at the Calvert Cliffs site.
UniStar Nuclear said it plans to submit its reference COL application to the NRC no later than March 15, 2008. For an entity to be eligible for production tax credits under the U.S. Energy Policy Act of 2005, its license application must be accepted by the NRC by December 31, 2008.
