April 11, 2008: EIS scoping comments from Chesapeake Safe Energy Coalition on proposed Calvert Cliffs-3 reactor. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold a scoping meeting on the Environmental Impact Statement for Calvert Cliffs on March 19, 2008 at the Holiday Inn Select located at 155 Holiday Drive, Solomons, Maryland. This is your chance to come out and let your voice be heard! NRC notice. 
Unistar/Constellation Energy has submitted a partial application to build a third reactor at the site of two existing Calvert Cliffs reactors on the Chesapeake Bay in southern Maryland. This would be a 1600 Megawatt Evolutionary Power Reactor (also known as European Pressurized Reactor) designed by the French company Areva. Electricite de France, the French utility, would be a minority partner in the project.
A coalition of organizations has formed the Chesapeake Safe Energy Coalition to challenge this project. In addition, NIRS and Maryland PIRG have intervened before the Maryland Public Service Commission proceeding on this project. You can find out more on the Coalition website.
You can obtain a copy of the partial application here.
NIRS’ statement on the initial filing of the Calvert Cliffs reactor application can be read here.
