...miles north of Rome, the site of two projected nuclear-power plants. The protesters were an improbable mix: elegant members of the Italian nobility, radical students in American Indian garb, middle-class citizens and Christian Democratic and Communist politicians. They were determined to halt construction of the 2,000-megawatt nuclear complex that would be built near an ancient Etruscan cemetery. Other protests have been held at the sites of 18 additional reactors that are planned for completion in Italy in the next decade...
...auditorium, the Panovs performed on a small, bare platform. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra played on a raised stage behind them, causing Conductor Robert Zeller to cast uneasy glances across his shoulder to check music-dance synchronization. Temporarily blinded by a megawatt supertrooper rock-show spotlight, Galina lost sight of her husband and missed a lift during the grand pas de deux from The Nutcracker. " 'Where are you, Valery?' I cried to myself," she said later. However, in The Lady and the Hooligan, a Shostakovich ballet, Galina's feathery pirouettes and Panov's dramatic aerial twists...
Once that has been done, ERDA officials hope to build more advanced experimental reactors, followed by a 500-megawatt demonstration power plant in the 1990s, and working fusion power plants that use only deuterium as a fuel by the end of the century. If that scenario can be successfully followed, the term "energy crisis" will become obsolete. There is enough deuterium in the world's oceans to fill mankind's energy needs for untold centuries to come...
...this was no ordinary power plant. It would be a 2800-megawatt coal-burning structure with four huge smokestacks, and would probably be the most polluting plant in the country. The group that approached Harvard, the Arkansas Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN), contended that the plant would ruin the air and water around it and spoil nearby farmers' crops unless it were equipped with additional controls to stem its sulfur dioxide emissions...
Wade Rathke, chief organizer for ACORN, said yesterday that he will ask the Arkansas Public Service Commission at a prehearing conference June 11 if the letter--which calls for more emission controls on Arkansas Power and Light's proposed 2800-megawatt coal-burning White Bluff plant--is admissable as evidence at the hearing...
