Iowa Electric Discusses Second Nuclear Plant Plan
Iowa Electric Light and Power officials said they are exploring with Iowa Power and Light the construction of a second nuclear generation plant in central Iowa at about 500 million dollars. A decision is expected this year with a 1980 81 target date for operation and a capacity near 800000 to one million kilowatts, boosting the firm’s generating capacity. The Palo plant may double as a future option but would raise transmission costs. Environmental hearings and AEC reviews are required before initial Palo fuel loading in July 1973.
