Industry figures indicate otherwise. Nuclear plants do cost more than coal-fired ones to build, but they are no less reliable. Most U.S. nukes have operated or have been available about as many days as fossil-fuel plants, which must also undergo periodic shutdowns for maintenance or safety checks. The electricity they produce is often competitive. Over a two-year period, the New England Electric System, operating in a region that is far from fossil-fuel sources, provided consumers with a nuclear-generated kwh. for 1.239?, or less than half the 2.596? for a kwh. generated by fossil fuels...
Irrational opposition to nuclear power can only delay a solution to America's energy problems. But even if this opposition ends, some positive action is also essential. If the U.S. is to be assured of energy for the future, the present nuclear licensing process must be sensibly simplified. It is a byzantine snarl that Boston Attorney Thomas Dignan describes as "a full-employment bill for lawyers." Dignan's legal work for the Seabrook plant has generated a 5-ft. shelf of transcripts from a state hearing, 20 3-in.-thick volumes of applications to the federal Nuclear Regulatory...
...first six months on the job, Gicquel recalls, he was only an actor playing the role of anchorman. "I must have seemed a bit awkward," he admits, "like I was wearing my Sunday suit." But, "little by little, I began to understand that it was necessary only to be like I really was." Much of Gicquel's appeal seems to lie in a kind of Gallic avuncular gloom, and an ability to register an appropriate flicker of sorrow, anger, levity or weariness in reaction to whatever news he is reading-the same reactions that viewers presumably are having...
...still forge a strong, coherent national energy policy which will encourage conservation, develop potentially economical energy technologies like solar and wind, and avoid excessive dependence on foreign imports or nuclear energy. But first political obstacles must be overcome: there will have to be less pork-barreling of useless energy projects in key states, less reliance on higher energy prices which pose equity and distribution problems, less resistance to use of alternative power sources. "We have some solutions within our grasp," a Senate staffer confided last week, "but they still need to be translated into political reality...
...half turned into wide open soccer which seemed to favor Columbia, and Blood was called upon to make two big saves, one with two minutes remaining. That and a diving save with 20 seconds in the first half proved that Blood is capable of making the big play. He must now develop poise in crowded situations in front of the net. Because for the second straight game, loose balls proved to be the Crimson's undoing...
