Constellation is partnered with Areva and Bechtel to build a EPR. Looking at Calvert for Units 3 and 4.

Wikipedia is the intentional dumbing down of the masses.

I wonder why Constellation would choose a design of which the NRC hasn' started the review.

B.PRESGROVE:
Please, Please, Please, Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this subject.   ???  I have been reading the thread about reactor design and have garnished some information through yalls very informative discussion.  I am curious why having 4 trains is bad.  Isnt having those 4 better than 2 or 3 due to safety?  Again I am so ignorant on this subject.  And is it possible that this new / old design that they say has less of mean that there is less hands on by operations?  Just curious cause I didnt see that question brought up in the discussion.

Be gental I m still learning.

Like I'm trying to present a technical review here, Mike.

Fermi2:
4 Trains is exceptionally good especially since the accident Analysis supports 3 trains so taking one out for maintenance doesn't put you under any LCO Time Constraints.
