Remember Nuclear Power? It's Getting Popular Again

With President Bush totuting the benefits of nuclear power, the atom is rebounding, according to a recent article in the Detroit Free Press.

Three Mile Island. Chernobyl. Yucca Mountain. For the past 25 years, a nuclear industry already saddled with prohibitive costs and radioactive waste struggled in the face of fears about nuclear power. But the atom is rebounding. President George W. Bush plans to tout the benefits of nuclear power today when he visits a nuclear power plant at Calvert Cliffs, Md. He also will promote energy legislation that the Senate is debating this week. It includes tax incentives, loan guarantees and federal liability protection for new reactors. The Senate bill also would authorize $1.3 billion for cutting-edge nuclear-hydrogen projects. An industry burdened with high reactor-construction costs and expensive disposal of nuclear waste is inching toward competitiveness as a cleaner, though still distrusted, alternative to coal as the electric-power source of the future. No less a skeptic than Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., recently touted the pro-nuke provisions before Congress. "You're going to see a movement toward nuclear power," he said. "If it's done right, we believe it will protect the environment."

Identifying the few successes, however, will require vigilant and constant technical assessment of geology and drill results, always with an eye to mine economics.
