NUCLEAR NOTES

Mobilization for Survival, a radical roof organization for several anti nuclear groups, plans major actions at Seabrook, N.H., and at the Rocky Flats (Colorado) nuclear weapons plant on the weekend of April 29.

A coal fired plant produces 320 lbs of ash, 100 lbs of sulfur dioxide, and 3 tons of carbon dioxide per served consumer per year. What volumes of wastes does a nuclear power plant produce? Let Florida Power & Light send you a cube that would contain them (it measures less than 1.6 in on a side) together with some other very interesting literature. Free from S. Huguenin, FPL Corp. Commun., Box 013100, Miami, FL 33101.

Chicago lawyer M. Cherry specializes in anti nuclear guerilla tactics, boasts of spending more than $10,000 a year on fine cigars, for his obstructions cost $100,000 a throw. He turns down "environmentalists" who don't have that kind of money: "Some people think they can hire you for $800," he laughs. Who is there in the Chicago area to oppose creatures like Cherry and Comey? The Council of Energy Independence, for one; volunteer engineers who do not get a cent for their time. (Your taxdeductible donation will be gratefully accepted by C.E.I., Box J. Chicago, IL 60690.) Their work is educational among the general public; but are there any legal organizations to defend justice from the obstructionists in the court? Very few; one of them is the National Legal Center for the Public Interest. They, too, will gratefully accept your tax deductible contribution (1101 17th St. N.W. Suite 810, Washington, DC 20036).

Increased cancer incidence at nuclear power and weapons plants is a repetitious charge that has so far always turned out to be totally unfounded. The latest such canard comes from U. of Pittsburgh Prof. Mancuso who headed a project on low level radiation, which after 14 years and $6 million of taxpayers' money produced exactly nothing. When Mancuso was informed in March 1975 that his contract would not be renewed in 1976, he fired his research assistant Dr Sanders, hired two notoriously antinuclear British researchers and with unwont speed published a report using utterly unscientific methods to produce a report at last. A brief rebuttal of this report by Dr L.A. Sagan, M. D., Lowlevel radiation effects: the Mancuso study is obtainable from A1F, 7101 Wisconsin Ave., Wash. DC 20014.
