Ralph Nader, Founder 215 Pennsylvania Ave SE · Washington, DC 20003 · (202) 546-4996 · www.citizen.org Hot Waste, Cold Cash in the 2002 Elections Nuclear Industry PAC Contributions to Federal Candidates in Competitive Races Summary In this report, Public Citizen analyzed contributions from nuclear industry political action committees (PACs) to federal candidates in competitive races. Using Federal Election Commission data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics (opensecrets.org), we examined PAC contributions during the 2002 election cycle (November 2000 to October 2002)1 from nuclear power plant owners and operators2 and three leading trade associations of which many of them are members: American Public Power Association, Edison Electric Institute, and the Nuclear Energy Institute. We considered lead candidates in 76 competitive House races and 17 Senate competitive races, identified by the Congressional Quarterly analysts.3 Among the report’s findings: · Nuclear power plant owners and operators contributed more than $5 million to federal candidates in this election cycle. Slightly more than $1.5 million went to candidates in competitive races. · Exelon, the biggest U.S. nuclear operator, made the most contributions to federal candidates in competitive races, followed by Entergy. Exelon and Entergy are both participants in the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Nuclear Power 2010 program, which puts tax dollars towards the subsidized construction of new commercial reactors.
