Nuclear Power May Rise Again

Optimism permeates the once-moribund industry that generates
electricity from reactors. As atomic power grows more efficient and
fossil fuels more costly, there is even talk of building more plants.

By TERRY MCDERMOTT, Times Staff Writer

NEW ORLEANS--A group of power industry executives gathered in
a hotel here last week to extol the virtues and future of nuclear
power. Four floors down at the same hotel was a seminar on
substance abuse. The electricity people were so resolutely cheerful
you had to wonder if some folks hadn't exited the elevator on the
wrong floor....

It was Excelon that made the preliminary presentation to the NRC
last week on the possibility of building a series of new-technology,
small nuclear generators. A decision to go ahead with a formal
proposal is at least a year away, said Ward Sproat of Excelon. But
the fact that people are even talking about building new plants or
taking nuclear companies public is remarkable, said Entergy's
Brister. " If you'd proposed building a new nuclear plant five years
ago," he said, "you'd have been committed."
