Nuclear plants face fuel bill increases says advocate
Illinois consumer advocate Beth L. Galbreath told a House environmental subcommittee that nuclear plant inefficiency will push up fuel bills if Commonwealth Edison continues building. Officials at F W Woolworth in Quincy report 50 to 60 bad checks totaling over 300 dollars displayed on a bulletin board. Swedish scientists note reactor efficiency drops after seven years from about 70 percent to 43 percent. Illinois has the most nuclear plants, supplying 40 percent of state electricity, while Edison claims plants saved 290 million dollars in 1977. A bill to delay new plants by five years seeks time to study expanded nuclear power effects.
