Congress Faces Nuclear Power Votes
Washington faces three hard questions on nuclear power as Congress decides if plutonium will fuel reactors, whether to pursue liquid metal fast breeder reactors, and if the Price Anderson liability limit will extend beyond August 1977. Supporters cite fuel diversity and safety incentives while critics warn of security costs, scope of liability, and huge development budgets. Major players include Westinghouse, Energy Administration, Atomic Industrial Forum, Natural Resources Defense Council, Friends of the Earth, and the Sierra Club.
