''Nuclear Implosions: The Rise and Fall of the Washington Public Power Supply System'' is a 2008 book by Daniel Pope, a history professor at the University of Oregon, which traces the history of the Washington Public Power Supply System, a public agency which undertook to build five large nuclear power plants, one of the most ambitious U.S. construction projects in the 1970s. By 1983, cost overruns and delays, along with a slowing of electricity demand growth, led to cancellation of two plants and a construction halt on two others. Moreover, the agency defaulted on $2.25 billion of municipal bonds, which is still the largest municipal bond default in U.S. history. The court case that followed took nearly a decade to resolve.〔(Cambridge University Press Nuclear Implosions: The Rise and Fall of the Washington Public Power Supply System ) Retrieved 2008-11-11〕 ==See also== *Anti-nuclear movement in the United States *List of books about nuclear issues *Nuclear power in the United States *Satsop, Washington *Bond insurance 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuclear Implosions: The Rise and Fall of the Washington Public Power Supply System」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
