Whoops! The article says there are 103 EPRs in the US. I think they mean 103 LWRs or which the EPR is one model.
I will believe the EPR construction when I see it. The DCD has not even been submitted and docketed. DCD approval has typically taken four to five years. That type of schedule would put EPR construction out to 2012 or 2013 at the earliest.
Calvert Cliffs and Callaway seem to be the only serious EPR buyers. AEHI may get their act together. Time will tell on them.
