(TEBO OPEN):
DURING HIS "STATE OF THE UNION" ADDRESS, PRESIDENT BUSH
CHARTED A COURSE TO MEET THE COUNTRY'S ENERGY CHALLENGES. ALTHOUGH
SPECIFIC DETAILS WERE NOT DISCUSSED, IT'S CLEAR THAT PRESIDENT BUSH
PLANS TO MAKE NUCLEAR-ENERGY EXPANSION A PRIORITY. STEVE
KEREKES ["CARE-ECK-ESS"], OF THE NUCLEAR ENERGY
INSTITUTE, EXPLAINS...
(KEREKES):
"PRESIDENT BUSH RIGHTLY RECOGNIZES THAT NUCLEAR
POWER MUST BE A LINCHPIN OF OUR NATION'S ENERGY STRATEGY FOR THE FUTURE:
IT STRENGTHENS ENERGY SECURITY, BY DIVERSIFYING OUR SUPPLY OF ENERGY
SOURCES. AND, IT SUPPLIES THE LION'S SHARE OF ELECTRICITY FROM
CLEAN SOURCES THAT DON'T EMIT PARTICULATES OR GREENHOUSE GASES INTO THE
ATMOSPHERE."
(TEBO BRIDGE):
KEREKES ADDS THAT THE NUCLEAR-ENERGY INDUSTRY STANDS READY TO FUEL
ECONOMIC GROWTH…
(KEREKES):
"THE INDUSTRY IS GEARING UP TO MEET RISING
ELECTRICITY DEMAND: WE'RE IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL NEW PLANT SITES,
AND TESTING NEW FEDERAL-LICENSING PROCESSES FOR ADVANCED-DESIGN
NUCLEAR-POWER PLANTS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION, CONGRESS, AND STATE LEADERS, TO SHAPE AND IMPLEMENT
ENERGY POLICIES THAT WILL HELP THE UNITED STATES ACHIEVE GREATER ENERGY
SECURITY."
