| FOR NEW REACTOR AT CALVERT CLIFFS
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted for review the environmental portion of a combined license (COL) application for an Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) at the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant near Lusby, Md. This application from UniStar is the third COL the agency has accepted for review. "We need more information to set out a full review schedule, but UniStar has assembled enough environmental data for the staff to get started," said Bill Borchardt, Director of the NRC’s Office of New Reactors. "The staff expects the entire review for the Calvert Cliffs application will continue into 2011." UniStar submitted the report and associated information July 13, 2007, and supplemented the report on Dec. 14, 2007. The report is available on the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-licensing/col.html . Agency regulations allow an applicant to submit one part of a COL application up to 18 months before submitting the remainder to the NRC. A COL application has two basic elements, a safety analysis report and an environmental report, and the agency expects the Calvert Cliffs safety analysis in March of this year.
Manchester United 3-1 Tottenham
Since losing to West Ham on December 29, United have won their last four matches without conceding a goal, while Spurs have won three in a row in all competitions and are still cock-a-hoop after getting Arsenal Under-13s in a headlock on Wednesday, nicking their dinner money and shoving their heads down the toilet to reach the Carling Cup final. I'm going for United to win 3-2, just for the hell of it. .
Men's singles, final
Tsonga romps on to 40-15, but Djokovic is getting his two-handed backhand going, and forces deuce after Tsonga half volleys - a little lazily - into the net. Tsonga fails to convert his first advantage, but brings up another with a 213km/h serve before Djokovic flicks a wristy backhand into the tramlines. First set: Djokovic* 3-3 Tsonga "This new surface isn't particularly easy on the eye, but its pace is excellent," offers Gary Naylor. "Once the administrators experiment with a slightly higher net (to address the fact that players are taller and racquets much more powerful), we'll see the volley return to the game on all but clay. A lot of these guys are only playing half the game of a McEnroe or a Laver and that's a shame." Good to have you with us Gary; Alex Banks has been asking after you.
