WATERFORD, CONN. -- Speaking at a public forum Thursday night, Dr. Helen Caldicott, the noted anti-nuclear activist, called for residents to lie down in front of trucks if necessary to prevent the restart of the Millstone units.  She also said people should not buy locally grown food in the summer because of effluent from the plants.  Neither, she said, should people eat Hershey chocolate bars because they are produced 13 miles from the Three Mile Island station.  The Day, (p. B1); Norwich Bulletin, (p. A1), 1/23.

ST. LOUIS -- Senators Harry Reid and Richard Bryan of Nevada warned Thursday that thousands of tons of nuclear waste could pass through Missouri if a pending bill is adopted to authorize an interim spent fuel storage facility in Nevada.  *Our mission in visiting St. Louis is to make ‘Mobile Chernobyl’ a household name,* said Sen. Bryan.  St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 1/23.
