The second US nuclear loan guarantee has been announced as destined for the Eagle Rock uranium enrichment plant. The $2\u00a0billion award uses up half the current pot for fuel cycle facilities.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The receipt of a conditional award from the Department of Energy (DoE) was announced by Areva yesterday. The head of the company\u2019s North American subsidiary, Jacques Besnainou, said he was \u201celated.\u201d He linked the project to the strengthening of US energy security and the generation of low-carbon power that the enriched uranium would go on to fuel.<\/p>\n

Eagle Rock, near Idaho Falls and the Idaho National Laboratory, will be a centrifuge-based uranium enrichment plant with a capacity of about 6.6\u00a0million separative work units per year. The $2\u00a0billion loan guarantee supports a large part of the total cost of the project and should help Areva raise private capital. The DoE put the cost of Eagle Rock at $3.3\u00a0billion.<\/p>\n

Areva said \u201cthe project must satisfy certain conditions before the loan guarantee can be issued, including the receipt of all appropriate licenses and permits.\u201d<\/p>\n

A construction and operating licence application is currently with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission which Areva hopes will allow it to begin construction next year and start operating in 2014, ramping up to full capacity over five years. This can be done by introducing cascades of centrifuges in a modular fashion based on the company\u2019s order book.<\/p>\n

The plant will be similar to a new Areva\u2019s Georges Besse II facility at Tricastin, which is based on centrifuge technology licensed from Urenco. That company, meanwhile, is drawing near to operating its own new enrichment plant in New Mexico which it has constructed without the help of loan guarantees.<\/p>\n

Another player in the US enrichment market is USEC, which wants to bring forward domestically developed centrifuges but has faced technical and financial troubles that are delaying the DoE\u2019s decision on its loan guarantee application.<\/p>\n

The DoE has worked hard to help USEC with extensions of decision deadlines and various acts of cooperation. It also expanded the allocation of guarantees for fuel cycle facilities from $2\u00a0billion to $4\u00a0billion, thereby reducing the proportion for actual power plants from $16.5\u00a0billion to $14.5\u00a0billion.<\/p>\n

Some $8.33\u00a0billion of this has already gone to the partners of the Vogtle project, leaving just $6.17\u00a0billion in guarantees\u00a0\u2014 more than enough for one large reactor but probably not enough for a twin-unit development. This leaves US nuclear developers looking to a further batch of $36\u00a0billion in loan guarantees requested by President Barack Obama for the FY2011\u00a0budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
