Nuclear Power Costs Hidden Says Coal Industry Spokesman
A coal industry executive accuses the U S Atomic Energy Commission of concealing years of high nuclear power costs. Tom Pickett of the National Coal Association says future low cost atomic electricity is a myth and that coal will remain the main power source for decades, with nuclear only a supplementary option in certain regions. He cites higher delivered coal prices and ongoing improvements in coal plant efficiency as factors against early atomic competitiveness.
