Heavy job: The Shaw Group and Westinghouse Electric say they have put in place the first and largest structural model of a Chinese nuclear power. The building module at the Sanmen nuclear power plant weighs 1,020 tons and stands 69 feet high. Shaw and Westinghouse have formed a consortium to build the plant in Zhejiang province, set to open in 2013.
It’s fun to stay: Ground was broken this morning on the Howell Place YMCA. The 12,000-square-foot facility at the corner of 72nd Avenue, is being built on land donated by developer Richard Preis. ExxonMobil has donated $1 million for the construction. The facility, set to open in fall 2010, will be the seventh YMCA in the Capital Region.
