Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We appreciate the opportunity to be here today to

discuss the role of nuclear power in the U.S. energy system

and the implications of that role for U.S. energy policy

     Recently we issued a report, Questions on the Future

of Nuclear Power: Implications and Trade-offs, (EMD-79-56)

In this report we analyzed widely differing nuclear growth

rates to provide a perspective on the degree of flexibility

that the Nation has to substitute other fuels for the genera-

tion of electricity. We examined how the Nation's hopes for

using coal to meet non-electric needs will be affected by

the growth rates in nuclear power and in electricity demand.

Today I will be discussing this report and its conclusions,

particularly in the light of recent Government energy

initiatives.
