AEC Proposes 12 Year Program for Nuclear Power Growth
The Atomic Energy Commission urged a 12-year plan to develop nuclear energy as the nation’s industrial fuel by the 1970s. The report to President Kennedy calls for aggressive incentives, seven to eight prototype reactors, and 10 to 12 full-scale plants, with projected annual consumer savings of 4 to 5 billion by century’s end. It notes costs could rise 20 to 30 million yearly but coal use would grow alongside higher demand.
