Lets not forget the
EPR nuke plant being built in Finland....and yes this is under construction right now! Unfortunately there are construction delays. here's mock up pic of what it will look like when completed:
I assume the EPR reactor is the half dome in the pic while the other 2 are the older ones currently in use now.
A bit of info about the EPR:
1) 3rd generation nuke design
2) passive safety
3) possibility for extended life == 60 years
4) large reactor == 1600 Mwe
IMHO there's nothing "amazing" about this new technology. It's an improvement obviously but certainly not a great leap forward. It's primary advantage is economies of scale....kinda like if you bought a gallon of milk you'd pay less per quantity then if you bought a half pint.
