Brief Summary of Expressions of Interest

The Department will only make limited information available on these EOIs, principally because many contain information that has been identified by the submitters as proprietary or business sensitive. As such, the United States Government is required by law to take steps to protect that information from unauthorized disclosure.

—AECL Technologies, Inc.
—AREVA/WGI/BWXT

The Department has not yet made any decisions regarding a potential acquisition strategy for an ABR or CFTC.
