Breeder reactors hailed as key to future power
San Francisco officials report Chairman Dixy Lee Ray of the AEC told the Atomic Industrial Forum that breeder reactors could be ready to supply commercial electric power by the mid 1980s. The Oak Ridge plant, a $90 million contract, aims to demonstrate the technology and shorten licensing times to five or six years. The program emphasizes fuel efficiency, with safety standards to be developed for full-scale plants, while cautions about accelerating current reactors to meet the energy crisis remain.

Nuclear safety testing urged for public acceptance
Public resistance to nuclear plants could shift to acceptance, but the path requires robust safety tests. Nyer warned that meeting huge demand must not erode technical judgment and called for clear tests answering simple questions about emergency core cooling and fuel integrity. Westinghouse’s Arnold stressed self interest in safety testing and proposed manufacturer led tests reviewed by an independent body.
