Reason for the surge in nuclear-power plant construction: they are finally becoming competitive with natural gas and coal. While the original atomic-power plants generated 60,000 kilowatts at a cost of eight mills per kilowatt-hour-v. four mills for power from coal and gas installations-new million-kilowatt plants may even undercut the costs of conventional electricity. Each of the Tennessee Valley Authority's two new 1,065,000 kilowatt private nuclear-power plants, to be built at Brown's Ferry, Ala., is expected to produce electricity at a cost of only 31 mills...
