Duke Nuclear Plant Safer Than Coal Says Duke Power
Duke Power officials assure public concern over the proposed Davie County nuclear plant is manageable. The project costs 1.3 billion dollars, will have three units, first finished in 1981 with total output of 3.84 million kilowatts. Engineering VP W S Lee argues radiation will be lower than coal plants and cites fewer atmospheric pollutants and ash. Waste disposal and reprocessing details are given, noting 98 percent can be reprocessed. By 2000 US plants would emit little waste comparable to an indoor tennis court in volume. Public questions focus on waste disposal, radiosactivity, river impact, and potential fish kills.

Smith Urges Food Tax Repeal As NC Tax Reform
Greensboro Senator McNeill Smith pushes alternatives to the House tax cut focusing on repealing the three cent state sales tax on food. He argues repeal would relieve all incomes but would cost 600 million to 65 million, offset by higher income taxes on high earners and increased taxes on cigarettes and whiskey. He notes the tax is regressive and hits the poor hardest, while supporters fear higher income taxes and program funding gaps.
