LO'velioy Talks o'n Nuclear. Power ~
Approximately 200 stUdents and faculty filled Kidde AUditorium on March 14th to hear Sam Lovejoy explain his views on nuclear power. Mr. Lovejoy, a leader of the Clamshell Alliance and spokesman 'for the national opposition to nuclear fission, addressed the audience for three hours. Lovejoy described the situation in 1974 that led him to USe non-violent civil disobedience to oppose the construction of a nuclear power plant in his hometown, Montague, Massachusetts. He said that the utility company manipulated the system of local government to prevent the public from gain· Ing enough Information to decide if they wanted nuclear power. Lovejoy portrayed his destruction of the utility's 500foot tower as a means of delaying the utility'S manipulative tactics and raising public consciousness about nuclear power. He said thet civil disobedience was only necessary when the POliCY process failed
to take account 01 Individual rights. Lovejoy characterized nuclear fission as "unhealthy, unsafe, uneconomical, and unnellded." He touched on a wide variety of issues InclUding the problems of lOW-level radiation, fuel ,costs, waste disposal, genetic damage, and apologetic sclenliflc stUdies such as the Rasmussen Report.
During the question-answer period, Mr. Lovejoy acknowledged that nuclear fusion might satisfy energy needs, but noted that the experience of nuclear fission suggests that teChnOlogical promises must be treated skeptically. Much of the debate between the audience and speaker focused on Mr. Lovejoy's political explanations of energy ~olicy developments. .
