Spain or Italy may be site of a new EPR reactor

A deal between Spanish investors and a German utility (perhaps EnBW -- Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG) is being discussed to construct an advanced European PWR in Spain. Italian investers may also get involved, and Italy may end up being the site of the new plant. The buzz about such a deal was enhanced when Italy's parliament decided it would be legal for ENEL to invest in a plant built in another nation which could supply electricity to Italy.

Cernavoda-2, part owned by Ansaldo) will raise nuclear share to 20% of Romania's electricity

In 2007, the completion of Cernavoda Unit 2 will raise the contribution of nuclear power to the National Power System to 20 per cent up from the current 10 per cent. AECL (of Canada) and Ansaldo (of Italy) have invested 700m dollars in the project. Unit 2 is expected to produce electricity for 12 dollars per MWh, the same price as Unit 1, with the delivery price to Electrica is expected to stand at 26.5 dollars per MWh. A third unit may also be built.

Mean individual dose to Italians from Chernobyl accident (over 50-year period) is projected to be 500 microSieverts. The collective dose to Italians over the same period is projected to be 28,600 person-Sieverts. The projections take into account inhalation from the passing cloud, ingestion through the food chain, and external irradiation from deposited radioactivity, and are based on the MESOS dispersion model developed by Helen ApSimon of Imperial College, as applied by W. Nixon, of the Safety and Reliability Directorate of the U.K. Atomic Energy Authority. [Ref: Nuclear News, "Chernobyl doses across the continent", January 1987, p. 62]
