Senator Abraham Ribicoff urged safety as the top priority in expanding nuclear power. He warned a future with up to 1,000 reactors could produce 660,000 pounds of plutonium annually, enough for 30,000 Nagasaki sized bombs.

Ribicoff and Senator John Pastore prepared to question Anders at the hearing.
