(DOES NOT FULLY MATCH AUDIO)
THE LATEST FIGURES FROM THE NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE SHOW THAT, IN 2006, U-S NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS SUPPLIED THE SECOND-HIGHEST AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY IN THE INDUSTRY'S HISTORY--WHILE ALSO ACHIEVING RECORD-LOW PRODUCTION COSTS. ACCORDING TO N-E-I, THE CONSISTENT, SAFE, HIGH PERFORMANCE OF THE NATION'S NUCLEAR PLANTS PROVIDES A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR BUILDING A NEW GENERATION OF ADVANCED-DESIGN PLANTS, TO HELP MEET AMERICA'S ENERGY NEEDS. RISING ELECTRICITY DEMAND REQUIRES PROVEN SOLUTIONS TO KEEP THE U-S ECONOMY GROWING--AND TO STRENGTHEN THE NATION'S FUTURE ENERGY SECURITY. NUCLEAR ENERGY IS ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS THAT THE U-S CAN DEPEND ON. AMERICA'S 103 COMMERCIAL NUCLEAR PLANTS SUPPLY ELECTRICITY TO ONE OF EVERY FIVE HOMES AND BUSINESSES--AND SUPPLY NEARLY 75-PERCENT OF THE ELECTRICITY THAT COMES FROM SOURCES THAT DO NOT EMIT CONTROLLED POLLUTANTS, OR GREENHOUSE GASES, INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
