Is Nuclear Energy On Its Way to Amarillo?

From The Amarillo Globe News:

Amarillo developer George Chapman is attempting to bring an estimated $5 billion nuclear power plant to Amarillo.

A Chapman-controlled company, Amarillo Power, is proposing a nuclear power plant that, pending regulatory approval, could be completed and online within a decade.

Documents obtained by the Globe-News through the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and others show Chapman is proposing a two-unit, 2,700-megawatt advanced boiled water reactor designed by General Electric.

Note this news is in addition to the June announcement by NRG concerning the South Texas Project.
