Current members of Congress have received more than $13 million in the past six years from political action committees connected with the nuclear industry, a liberal group concerned about nuclear safety said. The U.S. Public Interest Research Group said 29% of the money went to members of four House and Senate subcommittees with jurisdiction over nuclear power issues. Sen.
