\F0Nuclear Energy Is Needed Too


\F1
7:30 P.M.  Tuesday, February 3, 1976      Room 270   Tresidder Union

\F2
Speakers and Topics:

\F0Physicists' Study of Nuclear Reactor Safety
\F1		   			George Smoot  
					Physicist, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
					Member of APS Commitee on Reactor Safety

\F2\J(This talk is based on the report to the
American Physical Society of its study group on light-water reactor
safety that was published
as a supplement to \F3Reviews of Modern Physics\F2, Summer 1975.)\.



\F0Energy, Lifestyle and Ideology
\F1					John McCarthy  
					Professor of Computer Science
					Stanford University

\F2\J(This talk will try to analyze the wave of anti-technological
and anti-capitalist ideology that has almost paralyzed all
efforts to solve the energy problem.  It will also discuss some
consequences of a substantial reduction in energy use.)\.



\F2
\JSponsored by SENSE  (Scientists for Enlightenment  on Nuclear
Sources  of  Energy),  a  national  organization  of  scientists  and
engineers who have studied the issues and concluded that the  benefits of
nuclear  energy far  outweigh its  risks  and that  the U.S.  program
of power reactor development and construction
should  be  continued and  improved.   SENSE  also believes  that the
scientific and engineering community has a special obligation to help
insure rational discussion of public issues involving technology.  We
particularly believe  that  passage of  the  California  anti-nuclear
initiative would be harmful to society and that the technical 
community should work for its defeat.\.
