WASHINGTON — The dangerous leftovers of nuclear fuel and
weapons can be stored safely underground, a federal review group
concluded today.
But it said such a program can be successful only if there is “much
more attention to institutional issues” such as environmental con
cerns, a greater role for state and local officials, and a regional ap
proach to storage.

His panel suggested a facility could he operating on an inter I

The report, which will be subjected to a month of public comment
before becoming final, was made by the interagency review group set
up by President Carter to look at nuclear waste disposal problems.

New readers’
letter section
The Battalion is offering a new
reader’s letter section to give stu
dents more access to the newspaper
and to the University.
“Talk with Dr. Miller” is a forum
for readers to address questions to
the administration about University
policies and procedures.
Questions should be addressed to
The Battalion, 216 Reed McDonald,
and should specify that they are to
be used for this column. Names and
phone numbers will be required on
all questions and Dr. Miller has the
option to decline to answer a ques
tion or request others on the staff or
faculty to answer it.
Questions and answers will be
published on the editorial page.
He defined the intermediate scale facility as something larger than
merely a research-and-development facility, furnishing a full test of
technical and engineering aspects of getting rid of atomic wastes. |
The main “candidate” for that is the Waste Isolation Pilot Project
site at Carlsbad, N.M., Deutch told reporters.
Whether salt, basalt or granite sites are best is not really a matterof
the materials as much as it is a question of the geologic character of the
specific site, Deutch said.
Possible earthquakes, characteristics of water in the area, and other
factors — “the geologic context — should determine the choice, he
explained.
Because the public’s confidence is essential, Deutch said, officials
should seek a “social consensus” on disposal techniques, by layingout
the scientific information, giving scientists a chance at thorough and
independent review, providing practical experience, and leaving
room for corrections.
Oil storage begun

HACKBERRY, La. — Oil began

That's why people still nurture our fields of Blue
