  • Chapter 3: the Rise of the Antinuclear Power Movement: 1957 to 1989
    Chapter 3 THE RISE OF THE ANTINUCLEAR POWER MOVEMENT 1957 TO 1989 In this chapter I trace the development and circulation of antinuclear struggles of the last 40 years. What we will see is a pattern of new sectors of the class (e.g., women, native Americans, and Labor) joining the movement over the course of that long cycle of struggles. Those new sectors would remain autonomous, which would clearly place the movement within the autonomist Marxist model. Furthermore, it is precisely the widening of the class composition that has made the antinuclear movement the most successful social movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Although that widening has been impressive, as we will see in chapter 5, it did not go far enough, leaving out certain sectors of the class. Since its beginnings in the 1950s, opposition to the civilian nuclear power program has gone through three distinct phases of one cycle of struggles.(1) Phase 1 —1957 to 1967— was a period marked by sporadic opposition to specific nuclear plants. Phase 2 —1968 to 1975— was a period marked by a concern for the environmental impact of nuclear power plants, which led to a critique of all aspects of nuclear power. Moreover, the legal and the political systems were widely used to achieve demands. And Phase 3 —1977 to the present— has been a period marked by the use of direct action and civil disobedience by protesters whose goals have been to shut down all nuclear power plants. 3.1 The First Phase of the Struggles: 1957 to 1967 Opposition to nuclear energy first emerged shortly after the atomic bomb was built.

  • No Nukes Study You Don't Need to Be a Nuclear Physicist to Understand
    No Nukes Study You don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to understand that nuclear weapons and nuclear power are both bad for our species and bad for the planet. It’s not exactly rocket science to understand our need to move away from both nuclear energy and fossil fuels and toward a safe, sustainable, and democratic energy system based on solar, wind, and other renewable resources. However, given the powerful economic interests, often called the “Merchants of Death,” which profit from United States nuclear weapons and the rest of the U.S. war machine and which exert an undue and undemocratic influence on U.S. policy through making us accept the nuclear/fossil fuel complex, it is wise to arm oneself with a better understanding of nuclear and sustainable energy issues. The literature is vast, both published and on the web. Here is a listing of some of the most important internet resources, most of which have additional links. Atomic Archive. This site explores the complex history surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb. Includes a good section on the history of the Cold War. http://www.atomicarchive.com/index.shtml Fiat Pax is a project to provide information to university students, faculty, and the public regarding the militarization of science and the university, focusing on the University of California and its ties to the military enterprise, but also examples of the larger military- industrial-academic complex. http://www.fiatpax.net/index.html Greenpece International. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/nuclear/ Mothers for Peace, in San Luis Obispo, is a non-profit organization concerned with the local dangers involving the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, and with the dangers of nuclear power, weapons and waste on national and global levels.

Hannah Ellul February 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thanks are due first of all to my supervisors, Astrid Schmetterling and Nicole Wolf, whose calm and supportive insight and advice has been invaluable. Ros Gray and Mark Fisher shared thoughtful and helpful comments on the project in its early stages, for which I am grateful. My gratitude is marked by sorrow at the sad loss of Mark just before the completion of this PhD. He will be greatly missed. I am grateful for the practical support of the department, in the form of the bursary which made this PhD possible. I would also like to acknowledge the help of the Graduate School at Goldsmiths, whose financial support made it possible for me to develop my ideas at the Banff Research in Culture residency at the Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada, in June 2015. In Banff I was able to share thoughts and questions with a supportive group of insightful scholars and artists, whose input had a lasting effect on my work here. It is hard to exaggerate the unending generosity and hospitality of Sinéad McCarthy and Dan Walton, and of Sarah Morris and Matt Rourke, which I have enjoyed while I have been working on this PhD. Te times I have spent in their company have been among the highlights of the last four years.

  • Nuclear and Coal in the Postwar US Dissertation Presented in Partial
    Power From the Valley: Nuclear and Coal in the Postwar U.S. Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Megan Lenore Chew, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Randolph Roth David Steigerwald Copyright by Megan Lenore Chew 2014 Abstract In the years after World War II, small towns, villages, and cities in the Ohio River Valley region of Ohio and Indiana experienced a high level of industrialization not seen since the region’s commercial peak in the mid-19th century. The development of industries related to nuclear and coal technologies—including nuclear energy, uranium enrichment, and coal-fired energy—changed the social and physical environments of the Ohio Valley at the time. This industrial growth was part of a movement to decentralize industry from major cities after World War II, involved the efforts of private corporations to sell “free enterprise” in the 1950s, was in some cases related to U.S. national defense in the Cold War, and brought some of the largest industrial complexes in the U.S. to sparsely populated places in the Ohio Valley. In these small cities and villages— including Madison, Indiana, Cheshire, Ohio, Piketon, Ohio, and Waverly, Ohio—the changes brought by nuclear and coal meant modern, enormous industry was taking the place of farms and cornfields. These places had been left behind by the growth seen in major metropolitan areas, and they saw the potential for economic growth in these power plants and related industries.

  • Alternative Energy Coalition Records Finding
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Alternative Energy Coalition Records 1960-1981 (Bulk: 1976-1980) 8 boxes (12 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 586 Collection overview A product of the vibrant, progressive political culture of western Massachusetts during the early 1970s, the Alternative Energy Coalition played a key role in the growth of antinuclear activism. In 1974, the AEC helped mobilize support for Sam Lovejoy after he sabotaged a weather tower erected by Northeast Utilities in Montague, Mass., in preparation for a proposed nuclear power plant, and they helped organize the drive for a referendum opposing not only the proposed plant in Montague, but existing plants in Rowe, Mass., and Vernon, Vt. Forming extensive connections with other antinuclear organizations, the AEC also became one of the organizations that united in 1976 to form the Clamshell Alliance, which made an art of mass civil disobedience. The AEC Records provide insight into grassroots activism of the 1970s and 1980s, galvanized by the seemingly unrestrained growth of the nuclear power industry. The records, emanating from the Hampshire County branch, contain both research materials used by the AEC and organizational and promotional materials produced by them, including publications, minutes of meetings, correspondence, and materials used during protests. Of particular interest are a thick suite of organizational and other information pertaining to the occupation of the Seabrook (N.H.) nuclear power plant in 1979 and minutes, notes, and other materials relating to the founding and early days of the Clamshell Alliance. The collection is closely related to the Antinuclear Collection (MS 547).

  • Environmental Defense Center 35 Anniversary Case
    ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE CENTER 35TH ANNIVERSARY CASE DOCKET (2012) MISSION STATEMENT The Environmental Defense Center protects and enhances the local environment through education, advocacy and legal action FOCUS Since 1977 we have empowered community based organizations to advance environmental protection. Our program areas include protecting coast and ocean resources, open spaces and wildlife, and human and environmental health. We primarily work within Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo Counties. INTRODUCTION TO CASE DOCKET In 1969, Unocal’s oil spill in the Santa Barbara Channel focused the nation’s attention on the inherent danger of irresponsible natural resource exploitation, and made Santa Barbara the birthplace of the modern environmental movement. By 1977, an increasingly complex web of regulations, coupled with growing polluter sophistication, made necessary the creation of the Environmental Defense Center as a public interest law firm, dedicated to defending the health of the environment and the public. EDC empowers community groups by providing them with the tools to advance their environmental goals and objectives. EDC is the only public interest environmental law firm between San Francisco and Los Angeles, and is often the last hope for local groups seeking to protect their community from development and industrial threats. EDC offers a broad range of services, including educational forums and workshops, citizen activist trainings, advocacy before public agencies, creation of coalitions and other 906 Garden Street Santa Barbara, CA 93101 Phone (805) 963-1622 FAX (805) 962-3152 www.EnvironmentalDefenseCenter.org EDC 35th Anniversary Case Docket (2012) 2 collaborations, and – where necessary – legal representation in the courtroom. While our cases begin at the local and regional level, they often result in actions or precedents that have far-reaching state and national impact.
