Our Nuclear Future...Today, From Information TV Network 
     
Monday, August 10 5:00 PM ET
Progress in The World's Greatest Power Source Featured on TECHNO 2100
     
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Not more than 50 years ago, nuclear 
energy  was an exotic concept...futuristic, experimental, and the subject of 
more than one  science fiction movie. But times have changed, and today, the 
power of nuclear energy is  no stranger to the global community. For example, in
the United States alone, Americans  get more electricity from nuclear energy 
than any other source except coal. In some  countries other than the US, such as
France, nearly 80% of all electricity is nuclear  generated, and countries like 
Great Britain, Japan and France are reusing and recycling  uranium and plutonium
for commercial energy purposes. And facts such as these are  only the beginning.
     
The Cutting Edge Technology Report, TECHNO 2100, will take an in-depth look at 
the  phenomenon of nuclear technology in a special two-part television series. 
Experts from  around the world have joined together to provide insightful and 
fascinating commentary  on the many benefits that nuclear energy has to offer, 
benefits that go far beyond  nuclear energy as a power source.
     
TECHNO 2100, Our Nuclear Future...Today is scheduled to begin airing on Thursday
August 13, 1998 at 7:OO a.m. Eastern and Pacific time, 6.00 a.m. Central during 
the paid  programming block on The Discovery Channel. The program will then be 
seen in  syndication in select markets around the country. For more information
