Spokane, said Wednesday five Pacific Northwest i power companies expect to spend two billion dollars in the next 20 ' years to meet the area's power ' needs. ' He told the closing session of the Northwest Electric Lisht and Pow er Assn. they were "really going to study" the possibilities of ammic power plants to see if they could he made competitive in costs with ' existing generating methods. j If power could be obtained eco- nomically from nuclear reactors, he said, it would eliminate fights for damsites against the opposition of wildLife interests such as the one now under way over two proposed dams on the Clearwater River in North Idaho. The companies Washington Wat er Power, Montana Power, Pacific Power and Light. Portland General Klectric and Mountain States Pow er announced Tuesday they were pooling their technical resources to investigate the feasibility of atomic power plants.
