The Los Angeles Times reports Democratic candidates received $830,000 from nuclear companies last year, compared to just under $300,000 for Republicans. Barack Obama was the highest recipient of nuclear money, followed by Hillary Clinton. Neither candidate has opposed lobbying efforts to expand reliance on nuclear power.
