Larry Bogart

Larry Bogart (born 1914, died 1991) was an independent critic of the nuclear power industry, beginning in the mid-1960's when he abandoned a career in public relations in New York, to organize community groups and speak out about the problems of the "peaceful atom".

In 1966, Mr. Bogart founded the Citzens Energy Council, a coalition environmental groups that published the newsletters "Radiation Perils", "Watch on the A.E.C." and "Nuclear Opponents". These publications argued that "nuclear power plants were too complex, too expensive and so inherently unsafe they would one day prove to be a financial disaster and a health hazard".
