Pre-publication draft. Joseph Bowring, Energy Information Administration, March 1980. Legend has it political pressure ensured this draft never made it to actual publication; if you know the real story, please share it with us. Even in its draft form, this paper is a great source for information and data on the early stages of the commercial nuclear program in the United States.

Duane Chapman, Kathleen Cole, and Michael Slott of Cornell University for the Ohio River Basin Energy Study. U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development. Report is one of a number that Chapman worked on during this time to quantify the tremendous value of capital subsidies to nuclear power. See, for example, tables 4, 5, and 10, for the role of tax subsidies in making nuclear electric competitive (even excluding the other fuel cycle subsidies it receives).

U. S. Department of Energy. Very detailed review of many federal programs that helped to boost the nation's energy consumption. Great source of historical information on U. S. energy policy and legislation going back many decades.
