(APC: Akkuyu Project Company) — would build, own, and operate a [nuclear] power plant at Akkuyu comprising four 1,200 MW VVER units.[2] The agreement was ratified by the Turkish Parliament in July 2010.[3] "Engineering and survey work started at the site in 2011.[4] The construction of the first unit will begin in 2016, with the four units put into service in 2020–22.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akkuyu_Nuclear_Power_Plant _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
