I have also read the same, this info on ATV-2 seems true. AFAIK all the ATVs are in serial production mode at respective stages from metal cutting to trial. The real challange & time consuming part are the reactors. If we can build reactors with equal speed it shall be icing on cake.Rumours indicate that ATV-2 has already completed fabrication and installation of equipment (less the reactor). Then there is also the problem that even the latest information/rumour is itself as much as 6-12 months old by some accounts. For all we know, the ATV-2 could be at the dock, conducting trials.
The only reason we even know of the ATV-2 being fabricated (in may,2011) was a mishap, else we'd still be in the dark. There is no info on the third as of now.
