All six proposals are essentially the same, requiring guarantees of legislature, before a nuclear power plant can be built. Supporters said the guarantees are justified because of the alleged hazards of nuclear energy. Opponents, including the nuclear and electric utility industries, said the proposals would have the effect of banning further development of nuclear power and would lead to electricity shortages. Opponents of the measures spent millions of dollars, far outspendmg the antinuclear forces. Polls indicated, however, that the contest was close. A survey in Washington showed a strong chance of passage. Industry also has been spending heavily to defeat the proposals involving returnable beverage s.
