One input into an overall study designed to estimate the relative costs of generating electricity by light water reactors (LWR) and liquid metal fast breeder reactors (LMFBR). The present study began with an analysis of cost estimates from three firms experienced in the field. With these data, the authors estimated a "current" cost for a mature LMFBR. Next, two scenarios were postulated for the deployment of nuclear power during the next 40 years. In one, the social and political environment vigorously encourages nuclear power; in the other, nuclear deployment is held to a modest level by continued social and political concerns about current and future perceived hazards. The scenarios illustrate the major uncertainties and costs. Results are given as sets of capital costs and LMFBR/LWR cost ratios representative of each scenario.

For countless thousands of Americans an outstanding memory of childhood is the family trip, which included, as often as not, a stop along the way for a good quick meal at a diner. Others, especially those from small towns, remember the afternoons after highschool classes let out sitting in a local diner drinking Cokes and whiling away the hours till supper. The diner, that gleaming train-carshaped palace of the hamburger and the french fry, of the hot roast beef sandwich with mashed on the side and brown gravy over all, has been a part of the American scene and the American experience for just over a century now, and for aficionados of the diner-or for those who just enjoy remembering-here is the first complete book of the American lunch wagon.American Diner is a richly illustrated scrapbook, presenting through words and more than 300 photographs and drawings a social, gastronomic, and architectural portrait of this uniquely American institution. From its earliest days as a horsedrawn wagon that came each night to the center of town and left each day by dawn to its explosion as a spaceship-like architectural marvel, the diner has been a faithful reflection of the styles and even the values with which Americans have been most comfortable. This unique celebration traces with care and affection the history of that relationship. Packed with anecdotes, dozens of "I- never-knew-that" facts and figures, and brimming with good humor, American Diner is a remarkable, joyful document of America.
