Show J MM - Hght'w "lilDEASi The United States has prospered, thanks, in part, 'jl to abundant sources of eco-nomical eco-nomical energy. To main- " tain our standard of living, we must take steps to assure that domestic energy is available avail-able to support future economic eco-nomic growth. :- 4 Breeder reactors like this one can lead to a big savings in S energy costs for Americans. ' Fortunately, many sources are available. One of f; the most viable and economical econom-ical is nuclear energy. If all the uranium used to produce electricity in 1979 had been replaced by oil, it would have required an ad- ditional 440 million barrels of oil costing over $8 billion. Today, that cost would exceed ex-ceed $15 billion. One particular kind of nuclear power plant, the ',- liquid metal fast breeder re- actor", experts at Westing-X Westing-X house point out, will save us ;: much more. This type of re-j;l re-j;l actor will be demonstrated in the Clinch River Breeder i Reactor Plant. .1 Millions of dollars worth of plant components have been completed. Timely Time-ly construction will dem-onstrate dem-onstrate the breeder's ben- .. efits to America's energy ". well-being. I 3 |
