SUCTION 2 - PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALFR - FRIDAYVNOVEMBER II. It83 general News Foresee consumer saving in nuclear plants Railroad club holds fall open house An axiom of model railroading says a layout is never finished; this is true of; the Wauconda Central. Over the years, the layout has undergone several upgradings. The most recent project oi this type is currently under way. The new freight and passenger terminals, engine and car shops, and new industrial area are approaching the midpoint of construction. All modelers and family members are invited to come and see the Wauconda Central in operation or to discuss techniques and methods with the club members. An enjoyable time will be had by all. The Lake County Model Railroad Club of 107 S. Main St. (rear entrance), Wauconda, IL will hold its annual fall open house Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 12 and 13, from 11 a.m. to 6 jp.m. both days. Admission is The Lake County Club was established in January, 1972. Since that time the club's members have spent over 20,000 man hours building the clutf*. layout. Some of the other ingredients used in creating this railroad in miniature are: 1300 feet of rail handlaid on 50,000 individual wood ties, more than one ton of plaster, and over five miles of electrical wire. By Jeff Waalkes Shaw Free Press Media Nuclear power plants are fast becoming the backbone of Commonwealth Edison's electricity production system, according to James J. O'Connor, president and chief executive officer of the utility. O'Connor, whose family owns a farm south of Woodstock, spoke about energy and nuclear power to hundreds of local business and industrial Monday night at the Wc Chamber of Commerce and Industry's "Salute to Industry" dinner. By 1986, 80 percent of the electricity produced by Com­ monwealth Edison will come from nuclear plants, "making us the single largest producer of nuclear power in the country," O'Connor said, adding: "we think it is a good bet." Commonwealth Edison's nuclear program, which in­ cludes seven nuclear plants in operation and five more under construction, will in time reduce costs to consumers "by billions," O'Connor said, because a kilowatt hour of electricity can be produced by a nuclear plant at half the cost of the next cheapest method, coal. With hydroelectric fully used and gas and oil power becoming too exj nuclear power and nsive, are the only two options left, O'Connor told the group at the VFW hall. He added that environmental laws make it hard to use coal and that as a result, Com­ monwealth Edison uses less Illinois coal than it used to. O'Connor, who noted that electricity is "increasingly becoming the preferred fuel/' did not avoid the questions of safety of nuclear plants and of radioactive wastes, the Three Mile Island incident of 1979, he said, "every measure that could be taken has been to ensure safety." "We would not have continued with the kind of program we have if we dldnTt have assurances it could be operated safely." Nuclear wastes are now stored on-site in Illinois, O'Connor explained, and he emphasized even if there were no nuclear power plants in the U.S., there still would be a there is no technology totally risk-free." He said there will be risk as long as humans making CROWNS The reason, according to O'Connor, is that 96 percent of all nuclear wastes are generated by the U.S. military, not by nuclear power plants. "The waste problem can be cured," O'Connor declared. "We do have the solutions. It is not a technical problem, it is a political problem." On the other hand, O'Connor did acknowledge that society has to "accept the fact that are involved. "In my judgment, the risks are worm taking because the benefits are very real and we have to have it forprogress." The recent. rate increase request by Commonwealth. Edison is necessary to complete the nuclear plants now under construction, according to O'Connor. He noted people should keep in mind the savings that will come once the plants are completed. The Commonwealth Edison nuclear plant system, once completed, will give Northern Illinois the "most modern, economically competitive power supply in the country," he said. He added Illinois now has the lowest costs for nuclear- generated power of any state in That electricity supply should attract and retain industry in Northern Illinois, he stated.
