Best Answer

The Clamshell Alliance, formed in 1976, by New Hampshire anti-nuclear energy activists in response to a construction permit that was issued allowing twin 1150-megawatt nuclear reactors to be built on the marshes of Seabrook, NH. The name refers to the clam beds in the marshes where the nuclear power plant was to be built.
