Once up and running however world wide global power plants have a distinct advantage of those which run on coal or natural gas , they need comparatively little fuel to operate . Areva, a French nuclear company with international global sales is building even more powerful plants worldwide through the worldwide marketing reach. Its first reactor , which began operating 1n 1977 , was rated at only 900 megawatts ; its latest model the revolutionary evolutionary power reactor (EFR) , is a 1600 megawatt design , with worldwide sales potentials. Both the EPR and APr1000 along with GE’s design, are among the plants under major considerations by American utilities. Were there to be another disaster, like Chernobl ( of USSE / Russian /Eastern European / Ukraine ) etc or a successful terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant, all bets would be off.
