Environmentalists clash over nuclear plant safety and risks
In a drawn out debate led by H W Kendall, environmentalists questioned nuclear safety citing past accidents. Rep. Mike McCormack and David Inglis pushed against alarmist views while Norman Rasmussen’s updated study affirmed low public risk with 1 in 5 000 000 000 chance of death and 1 in 75 000 000 chance of injury from plant accidents. The NCR maintains plants built to code are safe and non nuclear disasters are far likelier. The piece urges proceeding with the plan to build 100 plants by 1980 for energy needs.
