THE IMPACT OF ALTERNATIVE NUCLEAR MORATORIUM LEGISLATION ON THE U.S. ECONOMY

摘要

This study analyzes the potential economic impact of policies which would contain or halt the introduction of additional nuclear electricity plants as well as the operation of currently existing nuclear plants. First a Base Case set of energy and economic projections for 1985 is estimated under the assump¬tion that by 1985 174.2 gigawatts of nuclear electric capacity will be avail¬able to the economy. Then the impacts of four potential nuclear policies on these Base Case economic and energy projections are estimated.
