So 61,000 Oregon voters signed initiative petitions to put Measure # 9
on the ballot, because there are safety problems w ith nuclear power,
and you should have a chance to vote to correct them.
Ballot Measure # 9 does not affect Trojan. N o r does it prevent
construction o f future nuclear pow er plants. Measure # 9 simply
requires that safety standards are met before more plants (the next
plants are not scheduled until 1985-1990) are built in Oregon.

Port ask shipyard expansion
The Port of Portland is asking the people of Portland to approve an $84 million bond
levy to build new shipyard facilities including a drydock capable of serving the largest
modern ships. The Port maintains that the new facilities are necessary if Portland is to
compete in the maritime industry.
Throughout Oregon's history, the maritime trade has been an important industry
and was responsible for Portland's development as the state's major city.
Portland is the major shipping port for the Rocky Mountain states and the Midwest.
Nearly 38.000 people work at jobs directly related to the port with an annual payroll of
over $151,000,000 jobs.
The Portland ship yards are unique in that they are pubically owned. The first
drydock was built in 1901, with another added in 1921. After World War II, these
drydocks were moved to Swan Island next to the t rydock built by the Navy during the
are. Another was added in 1963. In addition, the shipyard has 3,450 feet of berthing
spare and it own machine shops.
The Port now proposes to expand the repair facilities to enable them to repair the
nw ships which are ton large for the old drydocks. Portland's largest drydock was
designed to handle ships up to 114 feet in width, the size that can go through the
Panama Canal.
Shipping on the Pacif.r has grown to the extent that there is no need for many of the
ships to go through the canal, so there is no limit on their size. Today's grain and
container ships are more than twice as large in capacity, and the new oil tankers will
be in excess of 150 feet wide.
Building a new large drydock would enable the Portland shipyards to handle these
ships. Without it. and without expanding berth space, much work will be lost to other
ports. If modern facilities are not provided, ships will go elsewhere for repairs.
The shipyard is owned by the public, but its facilities are leased by thirteen private
firms. The leases bring in over $1 million net profit to the Port, supporting many of its
other facilities that are not self supporting.
The Port estimates that 1,000 jobs will be created by construction and that 850 jobs
will be created by 1983, an impact of $22 million on the economy of the tri county area.

Measure # 9 requires that emergency safety systems, the last defense
against a reactor meltdown, be actually tested to make sure they’ll
w ork. It asks fo r safe methods o f storing radioactive waste, w ith no
reasonable chance o f escape. And it requires that the nuclear utilities
stand behind their product and accept full liability in case o f accidents,
like any o the r American business. And that's not too much to ask.
