Economic costs of nuclear moratorium analyzed by Brookhaven
Brookhaven National Laboratory projects U S GNP could fall up to 21 percent in 1985 with a total nuclear moratorium and as much as 14 percent if a moratorium on new capacity begins in 1977. The Atomic Industrial Forum cites a longer study nearing completion, while Harvard's 1976 work estimates further effects.
