JAY SHARBUTT:
Television in review

NEW YORK - The ABC Tele-
vision network tonight is airing
a commendable study of nuclear
energy as a major solution to the
nation's energy crisis. Alas, the
show has a crisis of its own.
It's about energy, but lacks it.
Entitled "The Energy Crisis: The
Nwtlear Alternative," it is a
dull primer on the proliferation
and nroblems of nsclear-powered
eleetric generating plants in the
Unite'i States.
THE PLANTS have aroused
murch controversy, but you'd won-
der why if this program w e r e
voir sole gtide to the subject.
It's so low-key and dispassionate,
it may cause slumber instead of
interest.
To its credit, it does correctly
emohasi7e that there's be no
mshroon cloid of an atomic ex-
nlosion even if the worst hap-
pens at a nuclear plant; the
nlnnts are in no way potential
A-bombs.
And it does let onnosing fac-
tixns on the show discuss at
length the safety of nuclear otek-
er nlants, where the nrimarv dan-
ger in a nsior' occident woild be
a "venting" of radioactive mat-
ter into the air or ground.
BUT nowhere in the show is
there a specific exramole of any
kind of mishap or incident at a
nuclear power plant.
Such an example, with illustra-
tions and expert oninion on what
went wrong and why, would have
greatly helned viewers decide
whether present safeguards are
adequate or if more are needed.

According to an Atomic Energy
Commission spokesman, there
has' been only one radiological -c-'
cident - which he defined as a
serious incident resulting in plant
damage or human injury - in
the history of any commercial
nuclear plant in the United Stat-
es.
HE SAID.no one was hurt In
that accident, which occjsrred in
the reactor section bf d small
plant near Detroit in 1965.
However, he said that since
1967 there have been more than
so "blowdowns" at commercial
nuclear plants. He emphasized
that such incidents aren't cate-
gorized by the AEC as accidents.
He said a 'blowdown is an
unplanned loss of primary cool-
ant from the nuclear reactor.
He said in no case did radioaL-
rive matter escape the reactor
buildings of the plants.
ERNEST PENDRELL, produc-
er-director of tonight's ABC docu-
mentary, said he considered but
didn't include the 1966 accident
or any other specific incidents in
the show for two reasons.
One, he said, was becaise "I
thought it would have weighted
the thing on the side of disaster,
which I didn't think was war-
ranted by the facts."
The other reason, he said, was
that he had a wide range to
cover in the 51 minutes alloted
him and that it would have taken
at .least 15 minutes to analyze
fairly the cause and effect of
specific incidents.
THE ABC STUDY begins with
reporter Frank Reynolds noting
that, as of this month, 31 nuc-

lear power plants were operat-
ing, 60 being built and 80 in ad-
vanced planning stages.
He also points out that "it's
only the beginning, for advocates
of nuclear power foresee a chain
of 1,000 plants stretching from
coast to coast by the year 2,00."
From there we visit operating
plants, hear exu'!rn and critics
of AEC safety guidelines, visit
the worlds of thermal pollution
and nuclear waste storage and
examine other potenitial sources
of power.
ALL THIS makes. the show
seem too broad and diffused.
For my dough, it would have
had far more impact had it truly
concentrated on the continuing
debate over the safety of nuc-
lear power plants.
It's a pity, because the sub-
ject could use far more light, and
this show only emits a soft, fuzzy
glow.
