HUMAN RIGHTS AND NUCLEAR POWER, RISKS OF NUCLEAR TERRORISM AND DOMESTIC/INTERNATIONAL SAFEGUARDS ABSTRACT Increased dependence on civil nuclear power will lead to major infractions of civil liberties, particularly if the plutonium fuel cycle is widely used. Measures to safeguard plutonium-fuelled fast breeder reactors from theft or sabotage will give rise to increased security vetting of employees and their associations, widespread security service surveillance of opponents of nuclear power, growth in official secrecy, increased armed protection for electricity facilities and constraints on public rights of objection to new facilities. The two articles reproduced first appeared in British publications in 1977 and 1979. They broadly summarise arguments in the author's book 'Nuclear Prospects: A Comment on the Individual, the State and Nuclear Power' (with Michae1 Flood), which was first published in October 1976. KEYWORDS Nuclear power; plutonium safeguards; civil liberties; terrorism; freedom of information; security.
