About UniStar Nuclear Energy, LLC UniStar Nuclear Energy, LLC, a Constellation Energy and EDF company, is working to enhance U.S. energy security through the expansion of clean, safe and sustainable nuclear energy. We ensure the highest level of reactor safety, security, and reliability. Through licensing, constructing and operating the most efficient fleet of advanced nuclear power plants in North America, we are working to help slow, stop and reverse the impacts of global climate change.
About UniStar Nuclear, LLC In September 2005, Constellation Energy and AREVA, Inc. launched UniStar Nuclear, LLC – a joint enterprise formed to introduce the benefits of the advanced design Evolutionary Power Reactor (EPR) to the U.S. market. The EPR is an evolutionary design based on mature technology from a proven supplier to power North America for the next 60 years. UniStar Nuclear, LLC is working to make that happen. The need is here… the market is ready… and so is UniStar Nuclear Energy.

Utilities,
energy companies and other parties interested in adding nuclear generating
capacity want certainty – certainty that a new plant will be developed,
licensed, constructed and operated in the way the company intends. UniStar
Nuclear Energy’s experienced team, strong partnerships and innovative, four-unit
business model work to drive down risk and increase certainty in licensing,
cost and schedule for new nuclear development. By the time the first U.S. EPR
is built in this country, this advanced technology will already be built and
operating in Finland, France, and quite possibly China, eliminating the added
risks associated with any first-of-its-kind construction project.
The
EDF Group, one of the leaders in the energy market in Europe, is an energy
specialist that is active in all the businesses of electricity: production,
transport, distribution, energy supply and trading. The Group is the leading
electricity producer in Europe. In France, it has mainly nuclear and hydroelectric
production facilities where 95 percent of the electricity output involves no
CO2 emissions. EDF operates over 1,200,000 km of low and medium voltage
