NPEC Advisory Board Member Criticizes DOE's Secrecy on Nuke Loan Guarantee Process
Author:

Notes: 

Peter Bradford, a member of NPEC's Board of Advisors, writes in the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the new loan guarantees created by Congress to support the construction of new nuclear plants in Georgia and elsewhere are likely to saddle taxpayers with large bills if the programs fail, but no one knows what the true cost will be because the Department of Energy has declined to release the criteria they are using to decide whether to grant the loans.
