Nora Bredes, Who Fought Long Island Nuclear Plant, Dies at 60
By DENNIS HEVESI
Published: August 22, 2011 Nora Bredes, the primary organizer of the grass-roots campaign that kept the Shoreham nuclear power plant on the North Shore of Long Island from opening in the 1980s ― a campaign that prompted the plant to become known, in the words of the local power authority, as “America’s first stillborn reactor” ― died on Thursday in Rochester. She was 60 and lived in Pittsford, N.Y.

In February 1987, at a public hearing on emergency evacuation plans for the Shoreham plant, Ms. Bredes held up a photograph of Nathan, then 2 years old. “Along with all the other evidence you collect and weigh, you should weigh this,” she told the officials. “It argues that Shoreham shouldn’t be opened, and it reminds you what you are risking if you allow it to operate.” That speech ― one of the dozens Ms. Bredes (pronounced BRED-iss) would give during her decade as executive director of the Shoreham Opponents Coalition ― came eight months after the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster in the Soviet Union. Ms. Bredes pulled together more than two dozen local groups that opposed the Long Island Lighting Company’s plan, first announced in 1965, to build the plant. She lobbied local, state and federal officials; organized advertising campaigns; wrote pamphlets (“Lilco, We’ve Had It!”); and planned rallies. In 1981, 43 percent of Long Islanders opposed the plant, according to a Newsday poll; by 1986, that number had risen to 74 percent. When the coalition campaign started in 1979, three county legislators opposed the plant. In February 1983, the Suffolk County Legislature passed a resolution, 15 to 1, declaring that the county could not be safely evacuated in the event of a nuclear disaster. On Feb. 28, 1989, Gov. Mario M. Cuomo and Lilco signed an agreement to shutter the plant. Four months later, Shoreham was sold to the Long Island Power Authority for $1, with a 3 percent surcharge to Long Islanders’ electricity bills to pay off the plant’s $6 billion cost over 30 years. In 1992, Shoreham became the nation’s first commercial nuclear power plant to be dismantled. That year, Ms. Bredes was elected to the Suffolk County Legislature, representing much of the East End of Long Island. She lost a 1996 bid for a seat in Congress and later moved upstate to become director of the Susan B. Anthony Center for Women’s Leadership at the University of Rochester. Nora Louise Bredes was born on Oct. 13, 1950, in Huntington, on Long Island, to Charles Bredes and Dorothy Black. Besides her mother and her son Nathan, she is survived by her husband, Jack Huttner; two other sons, Tobias and Gabriel; a brother, Donald; and a sister, Amy Bredes. Ms. Bredes graduated from Cornell in 1974 and was attending graduate school at Teachers College at Columbia in 1979 when she became involved in the antinuclear movement. She had spent the summers of her childhood swimming in Long Island Sound, and “was outraged at the idea that they would put it all at risk with a nuclear power plant,” she told The New York Times in 1982. Her son Nathan said she told him the nuclear disaster in Japan this year “was exactly what they were trying to avoid on Long Island.” This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: August 25, 2011 An obituary on Wednesday about Nora Bredes, the primary organizer of a campaign against the Shoreham nuclear power plant on Long Island, misstated the month Ms. Bredes was born. It was October, not November. It also misstated the surname of her sister, who survives her. She is Amy Bredes, not Pirro. |
