Nuclear reactor sales slump in 1975 demand fade
An AP report cites Nucleonics Week showing U S reactor sales and options drop to nine units in 1975 from 29 in 1974 and 49 in 1973. Factors include load growth uncertainty and financing problems, not anti nuclear sentiment. Major builders include Westinghouse GE Combustion Engineering Babcock & Wilcox and General Atomic. High fuel costs and high interest rates have utilities rethinking expansion.

Hearings urged on reactor by consumer advocate
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader urged the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy to halt further breeder reactor funding until new hearings are held. He cited doubts among academics about economic feasibility and noted ERDA's 1976 budget plan of 350 million dollars for breeder work, warning the authorization could absorb about a third of civilian R&D funds.
