But, the danger of a nuclear accident goes beyond the dan gers to nuclear workers. Studies conducted for the A EC show that tens-of-thousands of people would probably die in a major nuclear reactor ac cident. Depending on the type of reactor, an accident would occur either as an explosion or as a meltdown of the nu clear core. In either case, such an accident could burst open the reactor building and send a plume of deadly radioactive material into the air, killing people in its wake and making the land uninhabitable.

Jack Ripper Speaks Out On F IS H IN G TO THE EDITOR: How safe are nuclear power plants? Not very safe if America's first few years of experience is typical. In the first twenty years of the “ nuclear age,” there have been literally dozens of ac cidents involving nuclear plants. Nuclear industry claims to the contrary, these accidents have resulted in fatalities and in the exposure of atomic workers to deadly radioactive materials. In some instances, the public has been exposed as well. In 1961, a nuclear explo sion at a government reactor in Idaho killed all three workers present. The worker's bodies were so radioactive that they had to be kept in special storage for 20 days before burial. Even so, the men's heads and hands were still so radioactive that they were severed from the bodies and buried separately as radioactive “ waste.” In 1967, a New Jersey trucker developed a rare type of cancer after being accident ly exposed to Plutonium being handled at a truck terminal. The man had to have a hand amputated, then an arm and finally a shoulder before dying Funeral service« for Jesse H.
