But Challenges Remain

Article Abstract:

Solutions to the problems of the nuclear power industry will require negotiation and compromise between the utilities and the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Regulation costs the utilities a lot of money during licensing delays. Standardization of plants could help speed up licensing procedures. The public must also be won over into confidence with the industry. A diagram shows several standard nuclear power plant designs. Tables illustrate the costs of regulation and a graph illustrates the declining commitment to nuclear power in the United States.
