April 20, 2015 iii Abstract ORGANIC FARMERS, GERMAN VINTNERS, AND THE ATOMIC MONSTER OF SEABROOK: A TRANS-ATLANTIC HISTORY OF SOCIAL ACTIVISM AND NUCLEAR POWER FROM NEW ENGLAND TO WEST GERMANY DAVID C. SMITH, PH.D The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professor: Christopher C. Morris This study focuses on citizen intervention, direct action, and antinuclear activism from West Germany to New England in the twentieth century. Samuel Lovejoy’s war against the nuke in Montague, the politicization of German vintners in Breisach, the site occupation in Wyhl, and the rise of the Clamshell Alliance in Seabrook provide the framework for a trans-Atlantic narrative on the development of the antinuclear movement in the Atlantic World during the 1970s. Using both oral histories and archival research on antinuclear protest in New England and the Rhine Valley in West Germany, what this paper ultimately demonstrates is that the model of direct action used by the nuclear opposition at Wyhl provided the inspiration behind the organization of the Clamshell Alliance in the fight against the atomic monster in Seabrook, New Hampshire. Along the way, the story explores how shared concerns over thermal pollution, low-level radiation, and the authoritative nuclear state politicized everyday people. iv Seemingly ordinary farmers, vintners, and fishermen rallied against nuclear power and joined what were essentially grassroots social movements in order to challenge the authority of the state. This project is significant because it questions traditional American and European historiography on environmental and social movements first by studying the relationship between nuclear technologies, political boundaries, and the traditional social order, and second by situating the antinuclear movement within a trans- Atlantic context. This study places two heretofore separate social and environmental histories into a single transnational narrative, and in the process, a new interpretation of the Cold War is presented based on nuclear power and social activism in the Atlantic World. Ultimately, the smaller story of the antinuclear movement from New England to West Germany is told on order to reframe and expand the larger story that becomes the Cold War. v Table of Contents

Dr. Wands is a Professor of Gastroenterology and Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Wands' proposal which is titled, “Aspartate asparaginyl beta- hydroxylase (ASPH) as an etiologic factor in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)” has received $65,000 from the National CFIDS Foundation. Dr. Wands has over 600 peer-reviewed medical journal articles in publication. According to the Foundation, there is evidence that ASPH may be accumulating in the cells of CFS patients. As such, this can dramatically impact the body's response to oxidative stress and hypoxia. Wands has planned both in-vitro as well as in-vivo studies in an attempt to understand the upregulation of ASPH on cell migration and signaling through various cellular pathways following exposure to an oxidative injury. Wands will also be comparing CFS patient samples with those of hepatic cancer patients with cancer-related fatigue. In addition, Wands has evidence that ASPH overexpression may be a risk factor for the early development of cancer which may be associated with CFS before the disease becomes clinically apparent or in other words, CFS as a pre-malignancy. Wands has observed this in pancreatic cancer patients. This is of importance since the National Cancer Institute has previously reported that CFS has been associated with increases in pancreatic cancer.

This policy transition was controversial, causing friction with U.S. allies, with the nuclear power industry, and with Congress. Early in his presidential campaign, Carter criticized the excessive federal financial commitment to developing plutonium-based reactors and adopted the view that the weapons proliferation risks of plutonium economy technologies were serious and needed to be addressed.

    14 Charles Lane New York, N.Y. 10014 October 23, 1978 TO ORGANIZERS AND NATIONAL CO"ITTEE MEMBERS Dear Comrades, The attached report by Arnold Weissberg on the Critical Mass conference should be shared with comrades involved in antinuclear work. Information about activities around the Karen Silkwood week in November should be sent to The Militant. Comradely, ryflwl enness al Office REPORT ON CRITICAL MASS CONFERENCE by Arnold Weissberg, October 16, 1978 About 750 people turned out for the Critical Mass 78 conference in Washington D.C., October 6-8. Critical Mass is a Ralph Nader organization, started a couple of years ago, and it publishes a monthly newsletter called, Critical Mass. The head of Critical Mass, Richard Pollack, is an authoritative figure in the anti-nuclear movement. Pollack was a guest speaker at last spring's regional no-nukes conference in Tallahassee, Florida, and was a "resource person" at the I,ouisville conference in August. This was the moderate wing of the movement. The conference was dominated by environmental lawyers, 1obbyists, would-be congressional aides, past congressional aides, scientists, and "courtroom activists" from the kinds of groups that spend years litigating against nuclear plants. Most of them are foundation funded. There was almost no overlap that I noticed from the Mobilization for Survival conference in Des Moines, but there was a significant representation from the various alliances that met at Louisville. The registration fee was S15. It was an educational gathering rather than an action conference. There were several events of interest to us. We went assuming most of the conference would be one or another form of drumbeating for Jerry Brown for president.
  • Dear President Obama

    Dear President Obama

    OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FROM U.S. ORGANIZATIONS Mr. President: It’s time to move from talk to action on nuclear disarmament. April 28, 2014 Dear President Obama, During the closing session of the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague on March 25, 2014, you cited a number of concrete measures to secure highly-enriched uranium and plutonium and strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime that have been implemented as a result of the three Nuclear Security Summits, concluding: “So what’s been valuable about this summit is that it has not just been talk, it’s been action.” Would that you would apply the same standard to nuclear disarmament! On April 5, 2009 in Prague, you gave millions of people around the world new hope when you declared: “So today, I state clearly and with conviction America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Bolstered by that hope, over the past three years, there has been a new round of nuclear disarmament initiatives by governments not possessing nuclear weapons, both within and outside the United Nations. Yet the United States has been notably “missing in action” at best, and dismissive or obstructive at worst. This conflict may come to a head at the 2015 Review of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). We write now, on the eve of the third Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) meeting for the 2015 Review Conference of the NPT, which will take place at UN headquarters in New York April 28 – May 9, 2014, to underscore our plea that your administration shed its negative attitude and participate constructively in deliberations and negotiations regarding the creation of a multilateral process to achieve a nuclear weapons free world.

    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.

Although less noteworthy, since they do not involve revolutionary economic and political changes, they are as ideologically significant, for they represent a withdrawal from the centralized redistributionist doctrines of the democratic Left.1 Their record confirms the conclusion of Pierre Mauroy, Prime Minister of France’s first majority Socialist government, who noted in the Spring of 1990: “We thought we could find a third way, but it turned out there isn’t one.”2 In country after country, socialist and other left parties have taken the ideological road back to capitalism.

Die Stellung der Stauchwälle von Kleve-Kranenburg im Rahmen der saalezeitlichen Gletschervorstöße am Niederrhein HELMUT SIEBERTZ* Glacial features, glaciomorphology, moraines, outwash plains, glacial tectonics (ice-pushed ridge), heavy minerals, size distribution, Middle Pleistocene, Saale Ice Age (Drenthe) Rhenish Westphalian Basin (Kleve-Kranenburg area), North Rhine Westphalia TK 25: Nr. 4202 Kurzfassung: Der nördliche Niederrheinische Höhenzug zwischen Kleve-Kranenburg, Kalkar und Goch (Abb. 1, 2) bildet keine glazialmorphologische Einheit, wie dies häufig in der Literatur an­ genommen wird und in Profilen dargestellt ist (Abb. 8). Die sedimentpetrographischen und schwer­ mineralogischen Ergebnisse, die Grundmoränenfunde und morphologischen Verhältnisse lassen den Schluß zu, daß der Höhenzug aus folgenden Einheiten besteht, die genetisch unabhängig voneinander zu betrachten sind: 1. Sanderhochfläche zwischen Kleve, Louisendorf und Uedem; 2. Stauchwall von Moyland bei Kalkar im NE; 3. Stauchwälle von Kleve-Kranenburg im NW. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß nicht jeder Eisvorstoß durch einen Stauchwall belegt sein muß. Am Niederrhein läßt sich für alle Stauchrücken nachweisen, daß exponierte Stauchwälle und ausgedehnte Sanderflächen einander ausschließen. Dies hat glazialmorphologisch zur Folge, daß das klassische Profil der glazialen Serie von Albrecht Penck in seiner genetischen Deutung überdacht werden muß. The Significance of the Ice-Pushed Ridges of Kleve-Kranenburg during the Saale Ice Age in the Lower Rhine Area Abstract: The northern part of the "Niederrheinische Höhenzug" in the Kleve-Kranenburg, Kalkar, and Goch region (Fig. 1, 2) is no single glaciomorphological unit as is presented in the literature and profiles (Fig. 8). The results of sedimentary-petrographical and heavy-mineral analysis, the presence of ground moraines as well as the morphological conditions lead to the conclusion, that the Kleve region consists of the following genetically independent units: 1.
