- W48278638 abstract "There are currently three operating nuclear reactors in Minnesota--one located at Monticello, two others at Prairie Island, near Red Wing. A fourth reactor, planned for construction about thirty miles into Wisconsin near Durand, will also supply electricity to Minnesota. Northern States Power Company has long claimed that their reactors provide Minnesotans with a safe, reliable, cheap, and abundant source of electricity. The authors examine here whether nuclear power, in fact, does any of these things. Chapter I investigates the consequences of a catastrophic accident at the Monticello plant. Chapter II examines some shortcomings in our understanding of nuclear technology and their implications for the cost, safety, and feasibility of nuclear power. Attention is focused on the nuclear fuel cycle, which is plagued with problems from its beginning steps at the uranium mine to its end in the long-term storage of radioactive wastes. Some of these difficulties, if left unsolved, may require the shutdown of Minnesota's reactors. Finally, Chapter III examines what nuclear advocates insist is the saving grace; that is, that despite safety problems, the cheap and abundant electricity produced by nuclear power generation creates savings well worth the risk. The authors conclude that Minnesotans are definitely taking a risk;more » however, by 1985, there will be no economic advantages to using nuclear energy as compared to its closest competitor, coal.« less" @default.
