To the Editor:May 10, 2023

I was very pleased to read the Commentary by S. Fox in the May 3, 2023 edition and I would like to answer his question: “Why are we not making a concerted effort … to be more conciliatory toward the use of nuclear energy?”

It is correct that electric power from nuclear technology is an excellent complement to solar and wind power. Nuclear reactors produce power whenever it is needed, for as long as it is needed and without consuming oxygen or discharging carbon.
