"Nuclear Power Could Solve US Electricity Needs. But At What Cost?"

"As Three Mile Island and a Michigan reactor aim to restart, critics question whether the cost of nuclear power makes sense."

"A shuttered Michigan nuclear plant is poised to start up again, buoyed by $3.1 billion in public subsidies.

In Pennsylvania, tech giant Microsoft said its need for more electricity led it to strike an unprecedented deal to buy all of the power for the next 20 years from one of the reactors at Three Mile Island — the site of the worst nuclear disaster in the United States.

And the nation’s largest public power utility, Tennessee Valley Authority, continues to march towards building a small modular reactor (SMR), making it the first utility to do so in the United States."
