• Exelon selects Texan site for COL application

  Exelon has selected a site some 20 miles (32 km) south of Victoria in Victoria County, Texas, as the site for a combined construction and operating licence (COL) application for a new nuclear power plant, the company announced on 18 December. Exelon said in June that two sites in Texas were under consideration for the COL application. The other site was about ten miles (16 km) south of Collegeport in Matagorda County. The company said, "After conducting in-depth field investigations and research at both locations as part of the company's site selection process, Victoria County was identified as the site best suited to satisfy NRC requirements as well as other federal and state laws and regulations." Exelon expects to submit the COL application to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in September 2008. The company anticipates the application to cost some $23 million. In November, Exelon selected GE-Hitachi Nuclear Energy's Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor (ESBWR) as its chosen reactor should it go ahead with building a new nuclear plant in Texas.
