Analysis Of Alternative Approaches

To Completing The Department Of

Energy's Water-Cooled Breeder Program


GAO evaluated alternative approaches to com-
pleting the Department of Energy's water-cooled
breeder reactor program, examined the reason-
ableness of staffing levels involved in defueling
the water-cooled breeder facility, and obtained
information on the extent of industry interest in
the program's results.

GAO's evaluation disclosed that
  --the Department's planned approach is a
  cost-effective way of completing the pro-
  gram when compared to other alternatives,

  --personnel levels for defueling the Ship-
    pingport Atomic Power Station appear rea-
    soniable, and

    --l :of 14 nuclear industry groups and utili-
    ties contacted by GAO expressed interest in
    obtaining the results of the fuel evaluation
    phase of the program.

The Department of Energy concurred with the
findings of GAO's evaluation.
