...restricting the spread of weapons-grade plutonium is to limit the spread of nuclear breeder reactors, which produce plutonium, and reprocessing plants, which extract plutonium from the spent fuel rods of conventional reactors. President Carter has tried to pursue this policy--in exactly the wrong manner. Many harder hit by OPEC's price hikes than any industrialized country, less developed nations, see nuclear power as the only hope for attaining energy self-sufficiency. These had depended upon the United States to develop the breeder reactor and nuclear fuel reprocessing technologies for them to guarantee a future supply of nuclear fuel...
Protesters, held off by Mace and tear gas-wielding policemen, tried unsuccessfully for three days in early October to break down the chain link fence surrounding the plant and occupy the reactor site...
...freeze will affect four plants that would have been ready for licensing next month: Sequoyah 1 reactor in Daisy, Tenn.; Salem 2 in Lower Alloways Creek Township, N.J.; North Anna 2 near Mineral, Va.; and Diablo Canyon 1 near San Luis Obispo, Calif. If the licensing ban continues throughout 1980, at least seven more plants will be delayed...
...week's end the NRC staff took another strong stand on safety by recommending that the commission fine the Consumers Power Co. of Jackson, Mich., $450,000 for having left valves open in its reactor containment building from April 1978 until last September. If there had been an accident during those 18 months, radioactive materials could have spewed out of the building. The fine would be the largest penalty ever imposed on a U.S. nuclear power company, nearly three times more than the fine levied against the operators of the Three Mile Island plant...
They all come together again after Israeli intelligence learns that Egypt is building a nuclear reactor in the western desert. The only solution, as the Israelis see it, is to obtain enough uranium to make their own bombs. The assignment is handed to Dickstein, whose cover is subsequently blown by Hassan. Enter Ros tov and his Muscovites, bent on thwarting Israel's campaign. Enter also the fedayeen, who aim to capture the stolen uranium and trumpet Israel's perfidy to the world. Dickstein is also dogged by his own mistrustful Mossad; his most useful ally turns...
