The potential contribution of nuclear energy to U.S. energy requirements

Energy, 1977, vol. 2, issue 4, 465-471

Abstract: The relative contribution of nuclear energy to the cumulative total primary energy use in the United States in the period 1975 to 2000 has been estimated for several growth scenarios. If the nuclear capacity grows as recently forecast by ERDA, and if the total primary power use grows by 2%/yr, as recently recommended by the FEA, nuclear energy will contribute 10.8% to our cumulative primary energy use.
