…, Representative Lincoln Davis (D-4th TN), Tennessee Valley Authority, and Exelon Nuclear to make an announcement about “a major commercial nuclear power product”. Matthew Wald at the New York Times pulsed two industry sources and has asked the question Small Nuclear Reactors in the Offing?. I offered my feedback: I am eagerly awaiting the press conference.

Martin O’Malley should distinguish himself from Bernie Sanders by promoting his stance as a pro-nuclear progressive
…re supporting its construction, Unistar Nuclear, is now virtually defunct, Exelon has purchased Constellation Energy which was the U.S. partner in the CC3 project and the Fukushima Frenzy has provided virulent antinuclear activists with a new event to fret about. O’Malley’s pro-nuclear statement hasn’t been seen by many voters; it’s been on YouTube since 2010 and has a grand total of 53 views. It is quite possible — even probable — that he decided…

Another U.S. Nuclear Plant [Might Have Been] Killed By Competition
…ong shutdown and management challenges that resulted in a decision to hire Exelon — at a cost of $2 million per month — to manage the plant. It appears that there was no effort to find a buyer for the plant. The plant owner is the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD). The plant and its transmission lines are inside the territory that OPPD has been assigned by the state of Nebraska. No other owner would have the ability — without a change in state la…

Rich “Exelon alone is contributing $1 million to the effort.” Search “Exelon Wind Turbine” the number of hits with all three words visible in the few lines given are staggering.

Markey is lying. The AP1000 design certification has been anything but “fast tracked”
…from refurbishing Zion would have possibly reduced the profit margin from Exelon‘s other plants enough to make a refurbishment project seem less than worthwhile and Exelon as the now owner is simply able to start D&D at Zion is in a way a monopolistic action.

…ney in the markets in which they operate. The last thing that the board of Exelon would want would be a rapid expansion of nuclear power, particularly any new plants that would compete with its old ones. The former CEO of Exelon has said as much several times, in so many words. Sure, many things became a lot more difficult after Fukushima … Almost all of the policy decisions that have hurt nuclear power were made by Obama before the tsunami at F…

Again, I ask, why could there not be a team of people who would be willing to go to any nuclear power station and be able to restart it on short notice? Just as a new hospital can get doctors or a reopened salo…
Focused Effort to Increase Cost of Nuclear Energy From Oyster Creek
…0 years now available, the expense of a cooling tower seems like something Exelon could shoulder if it had to. (Again, this is if what we’re mainly discussing is cost; I don’t know the deregulation status of New Jersey, but in Illinois Exelon has gamed the system so that the company auctions nuclear power to itself, and the savings of lower-cost generation never get to the customers. If this is also possible in New Jersey, customers may or may not…
