At Bodega fi1E BODEGA BAY atomic power plant, which Pacific Gas & Electric Company will build with ;
$61 million of its own money offers a significant standard by which the progress in the field of nu-clear energy may be measured. , ,
Until 1945, when the first. atomic bomb fell j
_ on Hiroshima,'the nuclear. scientist was a shadop 1
~
. figure in ivied precincts. It was only then that !l nuelcarIn thosefission had nuclear 16 brief. years, any. meaning energy ha to the public. \g. ;
not only been harnessed and utilized for peaceful \
purposes, but has'become competitive. PG&E re. ( ,
ports its Bodega Bay plant will produce power at
., a lower price level.than could be achieved with o conventional fuels, including oil. Sixteen years ago even scientists were thinking of nudear power in \\"-
l this sense as beir<g many decades away. !
The fact that competitive nuclear power came sooner than expected suggests speculation in other 1
. fieltis, specifically the field of salt water conversion. 1 The best informed opinion still is that many years must, pas before desalination can become com- (.sa petitive in a cost sense with California's normal n"'
sources of fresh water. Prudence requires accept. -
nned of that opinion. But the experience in nuclear power justifies hope that competitive der.alination will come sooner than predicted-perhaps hastened
.by fhis cheap nuclear power. ,
! In the projection of its Bodega Bay plant, PdJ. h'as given a forceful demonstration of the . \
vil 61y oilth'e. fiee enterprice system. There are ' /
n Government subsidies. The company has moved : ? , t, in aginatively into the new era of nuclear power, \. ' ,1\
nf. loncer merely tentatively and experimentally. ' ! 'N 1fie vision is that of an esser.tial public service, in
\% i ahwtstwn of an earned profit. t
