B.K.--I can't get the URL to work, but I noticed it indicates some sort of date--sep 95 96--? Anyway, everything I've ever read indicated that approximately 17% of U.S. electric generation is dependent on nuclear. (Still searching for the source in my files.) It's hard to believe that the percentage of nuclear electricity generation increase from 7% to 17% in a period of 3 years. Perhaps it is one of those "urban myths." In some geographic areas the dependency on nuclear generation is much higher than the national average. My understanding in the greater Chicagoland area is about 40% dependent. Now if I could just figure out how to "short" Chicago... (For those of your using Chicago Board of Options Exchange for delayed time quotes be aware the site has behaved badly for about two weeks. It is unreliable. For example, more often than not when I input a correct stock tic or index symbol the response indicates that the symbol is "not found" or some such b.s. You may have to type in the symbol repeatedly or go to the home page (cboe.com) click a hot link for one of the indices, then you can get the quote desired. Very weird.)
