earthquake and tidal wave.

SPEC working hand in hand with Prince Rupert City officials,
are strongly protesting the planned nuclear test: of the bomb
which is equal to five million tons of TNT and is 250 times as
-powerful as the atomic blast which levelled the Japanese city of
Hiroshima near the end of the seond world war, -

The unusual alliance between a city government and SPEC
has seen Rupert Council send off a letter to president Nixon
protesting the test. so ;

minor leakage of radioactive tritium into the sea.

The marine life could become infested with a condition known
as gentic loading. Researchers have discovered that genetic
loading hinders the work of genes and results in more disease:
mental illness; cardiac problems and diabetes.

blast- pointing out that both ecological and geophysical
calamities have not been ruled out.” oo ;

The peace ship full of women has been asked to visit Rupert
when it navigates towards the blast zone this fall.

While response to the blast has been negligible in Terrace, an
authoritiy has pointed out that if a- major earthquake resulted
from the Test: Terrace could be.right in the middle of the fault
line. ; 4 os .
US, Depty press secretary Gerald L. Warren said the review

President Nixon will have to make the ultimate decision on the
test, proposed by the Atomic Energy Commission, Serious
questions have been raised about the ecological risks, including
the possibilities of triggering an earthquake, conta iminating
surrounding fishery areas and dnagers of escaping radiation,
