“If you’re tracking the nuclear power revival in America, last Tuesday, September 25, was a milestone. For the first time since 1973, a new application for building a reactor was placed before the federal government. The applicant was NRG Energy, Inc., an 18-year-old ‘merchant’ corporation headquartered in New Jersey’s Princeton Corridor. A one-story steel-and-glass structure in the Carnegie Industrial Park, NRG has the look of a West Coast firm. The 300-or-so employees work in one vast room sectioned by neat rows of parallel workstations. The place could be a fine arts classroom, with employees casually strolling past each other’s computer screens and kibitzing over their work.” (09/27/07)
