UniStar has applied for a federal loan guarantee in support of its development of Calvert Cliffs 3 using AREVA's EPR™ technology.
"We are delighted that the DOE selected UniStar's application based on EPR technology because it provides a level of certainty for the project and American taxpayers. DOE's progress with the loan guarantee program reflects another important step toward building new nuclear plants in the United States," said Mike Rencheck, CEO AREVA NP Inc. "We are delighted to help UniStar meet its goal of producing clean and secure energy, while creating jobs and long term regional economic development," he added. With the US EPR reactor, AREVA offers clean, safe and sustainable energy generation solutions, made in USA.
