Nuclear power and uranium fuel: requirements in the Western United States
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4072379
The results are presented of a survey of nuclear power and associated uranium fuel cycle requirements in the Western Region recently conducted by the Western Interstate Nuclear Board (WINB). The survey covers the period 1975--1990 for electric energy and nuclear power except for uranium and other fuel cycle requirements which is limited to the period 1975--1985. This shorter time span coverage for fuel cycle requirements was chosen due to many uncertainties in future federal policy in such areas as uranium enrichment, plutonium utilization in light water reactors, spent fuel reprocessing, and high-level radioactive waste management. Geographically, the survey covered the twelve western states served by WINB. Also contained is information on projected national and western regional trends in electric energy demand and supply developed by the U. S. Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA), the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC), and other organizations. This information is presented as background material for assessing nuclear power in the West and nation in its proper perspective as one of several major energy sources available for general application during the period 1975--1990.
