increased private financing  can be provided for the Clinch River

Breeder Reactor  (CRBR). We have reported on  the financing frame-

in March 1983 and the more recent BRC  financing plan which DOE

transmitted to the Congress  in August 1983.

     DOE and the BRC concluded that with appropriate Government

guarantees the CRBR project  should be able to attract an addi-

tional $825 million in new construction  financing.  Six hundred

and seventy-five million dollars would result  from the sale of

bonds and $150 million would be raised  from the sale of equity

shares.  An additional $175 million would  come from the remainder

of already committed utility contributions plus  interest earned on

such contributions while held  in escrow. The bonds would  be

repaid from electricity sales revenue and the equity shareholders

would   realize all tax benefits available under the existing  tax

code on the total new private  investment of $825 million. Also,
