Des Moines Hearing Asks If Nuclear Plant Costs Can Be Passed To Customers
Attorneys for the Iowa Commerce Commission estimate the hearing on costs of power purchased during the Duane Arnold Energy Center shutdown could run into next week. The issue is whether Iowa Electric Light and Power can collect all 31 million dollars in power bought during the nine month outage via fuel adjustments. Intervenors question if plant operation contributed to pipe cracking. The 10 inch pipes were GE designed. The case may not settle responsibility for the damage and may delay toward end of week. The plant, Iowa’s only nuclear facility, shut in 1978 and restarted last March.
