Utah's EnergySolutions is in the running to build a new generation of nuke plants in Great Britain.The London Times reports that EnergySolutions has joined with the Japanese firm Toshiba-Westinghouse to compete with British Energy to build and operate a reactor that would become the prototype for a string of future plants in the UK — and, I've got to wonder, Green River?

The reactor will cost £2.8 billion to build, roughly $6 billion.

EnergySolutions has been active in Britain since June last year, when it bought Reactor Sites Management Co. Through that aquisition, EnergySolutions will oversee the dismantling and clean-up of two dozen UK reactors.

And if the Brits need a place to dump any left-over N-waste, I'll bet EnergySolutions, with some help from Congressman Rob Bishop, could find a site.
