REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERA L

OF THE UNITED STATES


Selected Aspects Of Nuclear

Powerplant Reliability

And Economics



Information on nuclear powerplant operating
experience from 1960 through 1974 was
obtained and analyzed by GAO. Generally,
nuclear powerplants showed an upward per-
formance trend during their first 7 years of
commercial operation. Only three small,
first-generation powerplants have been oper-
ating for more than 7 years, and their per-
formance has been erratic. Data from these
three plants is not a reliable predictor of fu-
ture nuclear powerplant performance.

Considerable Government assistance to nu-
clear power enterprises exists in the form cf
indirect subsidies for atomic energy insurance
and indemnity, management of radioactive
waste, and uranium enrichment. Reprucessing
used commercial nuclear fuel and decommis-
sioning nuclear powerplants are the respon-
sibility of private industry, and little or no
Federal involvement exists.
