A company owned in part by a former Utah state legislator expressed interest in building the state’s first nuclear power plant, and one possible site lies just 100 miles west of Grand Junction.
Any concerns, environmental, economical or otherwise, should be decades away, said specialists in nuclear power familiar with the Utah proposal.
The company, Transition Power Development, has contracted to lease enough water to supply a nuclear power plant large enough to power 4 million homes.
Transition Power sent a letter of interest to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission earlier this year regarding what it called the Blue Castle Project. According to Utah media reports, the site for the plant would be near Green River, Utah.
