JLKRIDGE, Md. — William

Ms in 15 years at Bonheur Memo-
il Park, is preparing to bury their
mers too.
A local appeals board has opened
e way for the park to bury people
ingside their pets.
Green figures a human will take
the space of four averaged-sized
f graves. He said he has already
ten four orders for plots.
’’About 20 others have expressed
terest in the new ruling, ” he said.
)nce word gets around, I’m sure
ere will be more. We’ve already
ad calls from Australia and Canada
well from around the country.”
The new burials will create
langes in the 11-acre park. A
ree-acre section in the rear of the
emetery will be opened and used
Dstly for the human burials, al-
mgh some people whose pets have
ieady been interred have re-
Bsted that they be placed near

There will be more elaborate mar-

lilitary cemetery.

Three Mile jargon puzzling
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The scien
tists may or may not be coming up
with answers about the nuclear
accident at Three Mile Island,
but the way they tell it, the
layman will never know.
Here’s a recent example:
A man-machine interface
might help uncover how the pri
mary system inventory produced
offsite radiation release when the
Three Mile Island core went
through a severe heat-up tran
sient that enunciated the alarms.
That’s the jargon of the nuclear
engineers, reactor designers,
utility officials and government
regulators in dealing with the re
cent accident in Harrisburg, Pa.
To the non-scientist, it is
gobbledygook, frustrating even
when it’s funny.
A pressure valve that failed to
close is described as “nonopen.”
Herman Dieckamp, president
of the utility that owns the power
plant, had a smooth description of
the “heat-up transient:” a “severe
undercooling of the reactor core.”
To stop radiation leaks be
comes, in the documents, to
“minimize the fission product ac
tivity releases.” That hydrogen
bubble was an “inventory of
non-condensable hydrogen,”
eventually eliminated through
“the normal degasification
mode.”
A “man-machine interface” can
mean instruments that give the
wrong readings; operators who
can’t read the meters properly; or
a man’s paunch obscuring a warn
ing light.
