AGAINST THE SHUT-DOWN INITIATIVES

The January Scientific American contains an excellent article "The Necessity of Nuclear Power" by Nobel Prize winner Hans A. Bethe.

A highly interesting lecture on the safety of nuclear power by Dr Edward Teller at Pepperdine Univ. has been reprinted in full by Human Events, 1/17/ 76. The issue is avilable for 50 cents from H.E., 422 First St.SE, Washington, DC 20003.

How to calculate the cost of electricity by Dr I.A. Forbes is a short (9 pp.), simple, revealing and useful aid for testing the economic muscle of nuclear power. $1.60 from ERG, 1661 Worcester Rd., Framingham, MA 01701.

Congress passed the Price-Anderson extension (see AtE Jan.76, but the funny-looking figure claims paid so far by private insurance - should have been $400,000).

The main tactic of the anti-nuclear crowd is to make 10 second statements that it takes half-hour lectures to refute. We borrowed the tactic in a flyer advertising this newsletter. It's headline reads Ralph Nader is radioactive and it makes some other provocative statements. The full explanation comes with a subscription to Access.
