> WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Harry Reid, Chairman of the Transportation, Infrastructure, and Nuclear Safety Subcommittee will hold a hearing tomorrow, Wednesday, January 23 at 9:30 in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, room 436 to look at the future of the Price-Anderson Act.

> The Price-Anderson legislation, which limits the liability of nuclear power plants in the event of a catastrophic accident, is up for re-authorization this year. Reid has questioned whether this policy unfairly favors nuclear power producers versus other forms of energy production.

> The hearing will be made up of two witness panels. The first panel will consist of William F. Kane, Deputy Executive Director for Reactor Programs at the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Mr. Kane will testify on behalf of the Administration.

> The second panel will consist of five witnesses:

> Marvin S. Fertel is Senior Vice President of the Nuclear Energy Institute, which is the professional association representing the nuclear power industry.

> John L. Quattrocchi is Senior Vice President, Underwriting for the American Nuclear Insurers.

> Peter Bradford teaches and consults on regulatory practices and procedures within the United States and abroad, and was a member of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

> Dan Guttman teaches, and is an attorney in private practice with substantial experience in the public and private management of the electric utility industry.

> Christie Brinkley is a member of the Board of Directors of the Star Foundation, a group which opposes re-authorization of Price-Anderson.
