Moving Reactor Could Cause Delay at Oak Ridge Breeder
An official said moving the 350,000 kilowatt plutonium breeder from Oak Ridge would delay completion by up to three and a half years, raise costs by as much as $1 billion, and remove the chance of testing for commercial electricity. NRC asked for alternate sites in Idaho Savannah River in South Carolina and Washington, while TVA supports a five year demo within its system. Opponents cite safety and environmental concerns, and ERDA had set a 1983 completion timetable.
