Since TMI, the public has become aware of how crucial the nuclear issue is, and has begun to give the government and nuclear industry some well-deserved skepticism. Antinuclear sentiment is fast becoming a majority position in national public opinion polls, as undecideds decide against and pronukers seriously reconsider their stance. Nuclear power is now an issue all politicians and would-be politicians must take a stand on. Their various nuclear moratorium proposals range from a temporary freeze on new plant licensings to a demand that no new reactors be built--while allowing the scores of plants presently planned...

This has dramatically reversed the situation that existed when Congress recessed for its August vacation, after holding almost a month of SALT hearings. Sentiment then had been building in favor of the treaty. The threat of crippling amendments had faded, and a number of undecided Senators seemed prepared to vote for the treaty if it were accompanied by an increase in defense spending. The Administration went along with that and was reported last week...
