NRC postpones ruling on Md. reactor project to August

NRC postpones ruling on Md. reactor project to August
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is expected to make a decision "on or before August 31" on EDF Group's bid to construct a third reactor at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant in Maryland, the agency's Atomic Safety and Licensing Board said. The agency had planned to issue the ruling by the end of last week, but the "size and complexity" of one of the challenges against the project led to the delay. Opponents of the project have said they expect the agency to reject the license bid because it goes against foreign-ownership limitations. SNL Financial (free content) (7/27)
