Studies indicate that although this coal uraniferous lignite, as it is called, is low in sulphur, it is high in other toxic materials. The environmental impact statement for a large coal-fired plant (like the one at Sherburne, Minnesota) indicates that one plant would emit one ton of uranium per year directly into the air from the smokestacks. It is the residents of Underwood, North Dakota, and other similar coal towns, that bear the brunt of these emissions...
...weeks ago, another DEQE official said yes, but with certain strings attached. Willard R. Pope '63, counsel to the agency, said MATEP could have its diesels, if it promised not to emit more than 200 micrograms of nitrogen dioxide per cubic meter, to shut off the diesels if it exceeded the limit and--crucially--to pay for a backup utility in case the diesels had to be shut...
...have served on the ACSR for two years, almost, this year as its chairperson, and my colleagues occasionally emit sympathetic sounds when I tell them this. I in fact regard this as a privilege rather than a burden, and I'm pleased to be here today to have a chance to talk about...
...audio-visual experience. But Christopher Janney, whose project "Soundstair" creates nothing but confusion at MIT, has also been unleashed in the station. Although Janney insists his intricate sound system presented only as a drawing will be coordinated with Shingu's chimes, his "sonic gates, soundstairs and sound central" all emit noises as one moves through the station. Janney calls it the "further adventures of translating people's movements into sound," and an adventure it will be. He can't quite seem to put his finger on what he wants to do: "Tuesdays it might sound like oboes inside Carnegie Hall...
...odds that anybody will die in a reactor accident are 1 in 300 million a year. The risk of dying as a result of an automobile accident is 75,000 times as high. Nor does radiation now appear to be an unreasonable risk. Coal-fired plants actually emit slightly more radiation than nuclear reactors. Americans are already exposed to radiation from natural sources, color television and medical X rays. Routine operation of nuclear plants would add almost nothing to this exposure. In fact, a person living next door to a nuclear reactor in, say, New York, is exposed to less...
