Will Eugene ever be nuclear free?

Imagine if you will. ,i plat e
where people who innocently
design ,1 nuclear weapon in
tended for their own personal
use could fare a fine of as much
as $750.
Imagine a dimension where
the design, development man
ufacture. production, mainten
ance. or storage of nuclear
weapons or their components
has been banned dome with
me now as we journey into the
little know n world of the nu
clear free zone
In this seemingly innocent
little town called l.ugene an
invisible, vet all too real, un
dercurrent of divisiveness has
separated friends and neigh
bors into two polarized groups
One favors tough and enforce
able aiili-inn lear law s, while
the other leans toward symbol
ic gestures that will still allow
the cits to attract businesses
that might be frightened by an
activist population.
While l.ugem and l.ane
(!ounlv have had nuclear free
zones siiu e lOHO. the issue sm
faced again last year as the citi
zens group, Committee to keep
kugene Nuclear f ree sought to
add ,i stronger nuclear free
policy to the city's charter
The charter amendment
measure was soundly defeated
1>\ l.ugene voters in May It
would not onh have banned
nui lear weapons, it would also
have banned components used
m their deliverv svstenia. in ad
dition to prohibiting food irra
diation and civil defense drills
