> Tuesday, January 22, 2002

> 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 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.
