House Kills Huge Program To Speed Commercial Atom Power
The House defeated a 40 million dollar Democratic plan to accelerate commercial atomic power 203 to 191 after a day of debate. It trimmed the bill to bare bones and then sent it back to the Atomic Energy Committee. The chamber then eliminated 400 million dollars from an appropriation bill for the current 12 months and rejected direct government reactor building while allowing private firms, cooperatives, or cities to pursue projects. The administration opposed government-built reactors, arguing private utilities should not be crowded out and that the program could delay private development of atomic power.
