June 28, 1976 - Neal St. Anthony prepared excerpts and interviews from the Transportation of Nuclear Materials conference sponsored by the Atomic Industrial Forum held recently in Bloomington, Minnesota. About conference: Nuclear generated electricity has moved out of the experimental stage. Government projections show nuclear plants will provide up to 45 percent of the nation's electricity by the year 2000. Accompanying that growth is a parallel increase in shipments of the radioactive fuels and wastes which power the plants. The transportation of nuclear materials is a cause of concern among antinuclear groups. Proponents say it is a well-regulated system which poses no threat to society. Recently, a group of nuclear industrialists and government regulatory officials came to the Twin Cities to discuss nuclear transportation.
