Federal Regulators Deny License Third Reactor for Maryland Nuclear Power Plant

Tell the French company operating the plant it has 60 days to find a U.S. partner or their plan will be nixed entirely

Federal regulators denied a license Thursday to the French-controlled company for a proposed third nuclear reactor at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant in Southern Maryland, giving the company 60 days to find a U.S. partner.

At the end of those 60 days, the three judges of the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board wrote, they would be forced to terminate the company's application proceedings entirely.

The board said Thursday that while "60 days may seem a short period of time in which to obtain a domestic partner," UniStar has already had two years to do so.

See, now the government is making gay marriage mandatory. The socons warned you, but you didn't listen.
