Description

The Department believes it is in the national
interest to deploy new baseload
nuclear generating capacity within the decade to achieve the National
Energy
Policy objectives of energy supply diversity and security while minimizing
the
impact on the environment. In FY 2002, the Department initiated the Nuclear

Power 2010 program to conduct regulatory demonstration and advanced reactor

development activities to support deployment of new nuclear power plants.
The
Department is interested in expanding its cooperation with the nuclear
industry
by providing assistance to implement the activities necessary to deploy new

nuclear power plants.

The Department is seeking applications for financial assistance from power
generation companies or teams led by power generation companies for
projects
that enable a new nuclear power plant to be ordered and licensed for
deployment
in the United States within the decade.  For the purposes of this
solicitation,
project applications are sought which implement a power generation company
plan
of activities leading to a combined Construction and Operating License
(COL)
for a new nuclear power plant.  The plan is expected to address power
generation company activities for design completion of a standardized
advanced
reactor plant, preparation and submission of a COL application and support
of
NRC review and hearings associated with the application.

For conduct of these projects, DOE encourages innovative business
arrangements,
such as consortia among power generation companies, plant owners/operators,

reactor vendors, architect engineers and constructors with strong and
common
committment to build and operate new nuclear power plants in the United
States.

Fifty percent (50%) minimum industry cost share, consisting of
contributions
from power generation companies and other participants, is required over
the
life of the cooperative agreements for all projects.  It is anticipated
that FY
2004 appropriations for Nuclear Power 2010 activities would contain
sufficient
funds to make up to $15,000,000 available to fund the first year of the
effort
anticipated by this solicitation.  Funding for projects awarded under this
solicitation is subject to the actual appropriation amount. Subsequent year

funding will depend upon future appropriations. Cooperative agreements will
be
awarded in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations,
Chapter
II Subchapter H, Part 600 (10 CFR 600).
