NEI exec sees more new reactor approvals into 2020s

Though some projects have seen delays because of low natural gas prices, the U.S. is expected to clear more nuclear projects into the 2020s, said Richard Myers, the Nuclear Energy Institute's vice president of policy development. "I think by 2015, we'll have a better line of sight on where the markets are going, and we'll know more about [natural] gas prices and at what level they will stabilize," Myers said. "These projects are very large projects; it's probably best to build a few at first to be sure we can do it right." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
