GE threatens to quit building reactors amid policy chill
Washington General Electric warned the Carter administration that continued legal and regulatory restraints in nuclear tech could force the firm to stop manufacturing reactors. GE executives told Energy Secretary James Schlesinger that orders have fallen, profits lag, and the industry faces a bleak outlook without regulatory and legislative improvements.
