Comanche Peak nuclear plant has towering ambitions
Luminant's plan to construct two nuclear reactors at its Comanche Peak plant could become the "largest economic-development project in Texas' history," said company spokesman Allan Koenig. The reactors, which are estimated to cost up to $20 billion to build, will be able to produce 3,400 megawatts -- enough to supply electricity for 1.8 million homes. The company is requesting federal clearance for a combined construction-and-operating license, expecting to obtain it in 2012 or 2013. Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Texas)
