Three Mile Island task seen as costly to complete
Four months after the accident at Three Mile Island the No 2 reactor remains sealed in the containment building with millions of gallons of spilled coolant. NRC head Richard Vollmer says cleanup could take three or four years and cost about 400 million dollars, with insurance covering roughly 300 million. Facilities will need extensive cleaning, testing, and potential redesigns before any restart.

Conservation surge from synfuels push sparks focus on efficiency
The Carter energy drive sparks broad interest in conservation as a cheaper, safer alternative. Harvard Energy Project coauthor Daniel Yergin argues buildings, industry, and transport can cut 30 to 40 percent of U.S. energy use without lowering living standards, with insulation retrofits and fuel-saving driving reforms among key steps. The piece highlights transit expansion, better rail and streetcar systems, and waste-to-energy as part of a broad shift toward sustained efficiency and reduced oil dependence.
