Atom Power Seen Cheaper in 1948 Says Oak Ridge Official
Dr. Charles A. Thomas of Monsanto, directing Oak Ridge conversion, says atomic plants could rival coal power on the eastern seaboard if bituminous prices rise to ten dollars per ton. He notes current costs favor coal at seven dollars and emphasizes atomic energy would supplement, not replace, coal and oil industries. The first experimental plant at Oak Ridge could be running by 1948, costing more to build than coal plants but with expected progress lowering costs. He warns the bomb shadow risks peacetime gains and touts atomic energy for Alaska and medical advances and future large ships and cancer treatments.
