Nuclear power stirs new protest
New objections are being raised about the safety of nuclear power, and some of them are coming from within the industry that is often promoted as the energy source of the future.
In recent days, Vermont's only nuclear plant was closed; three General Electric Co. nuclear engineers resigned, and the project manager of a plant under construction in New York state resigned—all because of safety questions.
THE SHUDTOWN OF THE $216 million Vermont Nuclear Knee Power Corp. plant was ordered Jan. 26 after computer stress tests by GE, designer of the $40-megawatt plant, indicated the reactor's failure might not stand the strain of an accident.
Plant officials said that if the system broke down, radioactive steam would be released into the plant building, but little would escape outside.

PLANT OFFICIALS have acknowledged the no solution is in sight of the structural design.
The engineer who directed the tests that resulted in the closure, Richard Bridden-baugh, was one of the three GE nuclear engineers who resigned last Monday from the division of the company that builds power plants.

The NRC issued a statement after the engineers said saying the engineers' main objective
