GE Nuclear Breaks Ground on New Facility in Wilmington

From the AP:

GE Energy, which moved its nuclear business from California to Wilmington three years ago, has broken ground here on a plant here that will focus on developing a new line of nuclear reactors for the international market.

The high price of oil is one trigger behind the rush to tap the fast-growing market overseas, especially in China and India, GE officials said.

Nuclear energy has a real opportunity to help the "developing world get on with its business," David Calhoun, GE infrastructure president and CEO, said during Tuesday's groundbreaking.
