The nuclesr power ;lant vill emit note polluticn than any. other :echan-1:: cr operation ever conceived 'in the. history cf mankind. Only to compound' car present environmental cituation. The aere difference between radica:tive I

pc11ation and other forms of pollution is that radioactivity lie not' detectable tv. any of.the five hu:an senses.

If an industrv emitted visib'e'oc11uticn s

It is apparent that the opera-lo.1 cf the Dnvis-b besse po eer plant is e.~.trer.ely detrimental.. del;hing the value of havin; ore pofer.ugsinat our very existence 3

It has ceen said cy :Lalcar 2.ysiciet '!edic31 Doctor

kncun." This alone is deed retcon to refrain frc: nuclear.

pcuer. - Also, the presen:e of a nucleer power plant directly l'

offe:ts the : ell-beint of the entire inneliste bio-sphere-f (50 uile radius) which includes non.
