Nuclear report has no
mention of moratorium
United Press International
WASHINGTON — President
Carter’s Three Mile Island Commis
sion Tuesday presented him with a
final report that informed sources
said contained no recommendation
for a moratorium on new atomic
plant construction.
Instead of a moratorium — which
might have doomed the ailing nu
clear industry — the report recom
mended that approval of disaster re
sponse plans be made a require
ment for construction or licensing of
any new atomic reactor.
But the commission, which held
long and often bitter hearings on the
March 28 accident at the Three Mile
Island nuclear plant near Harris
burg, Pa., recommended sweeping
changes in the organization of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission
and extensive reforms in the nuclear
industry.
The president received his copy
of the final report at a brief White
House ceremony, but it was not
immediately made public.
One of the key regulatory reforms
was a recommendation for periodic
relicensing of atomic plants on the
basis of hearings, inspections and
performance criteria, a commis
sioner said.
The commission also called for
the reorganization of the five-
member, quasi-judicial NRC panel
into an executive agency with one
boss.
It made a series of recom
mendations for enhanced training
for reactor operators in keeping with
a commission finding that “NRC
standards allowed a shallow level of
operator training.”
Another recommendation,
acknowledging that reactor acci
dents are likely to happen despite
the tightest safety precautions,
called for regional storage of radia
tion drugs like potassium iodide to
make them accessible to citizens
contaminated by fallout.
Congressional oversight panels
have deferred crucial decisions on
the future of peacetime atomic
power until the commission’s report
is evaluated. The report also has
stirred intense interest in Japan and
Europe, where nuclear power is
seen as a vital alternative to im
ported oil and coal.
Critics said the commission’s re
fusal to call for a reactor construc
tion freeze was a victory for the nu-
Angry cancer victims live longer
than those who appear happier
United Press International
WASHINGTON — A Johns
Hopkins University study of women
dying of cancer suggests that people
who are outwardly angry and anx
ious about their illness live longer
than those who seem more content
and happier.
The study of 35 women with ad
vanced breast cancer supports ear
lier reports indicating that the way a
person deals with the disease
psychologically might affect survival
time.
The research team, led by Dr.
Leonard R. Derogatis of the univer
sity’s department of psychiatry and
behavioral sciences, said it has been
suggested that emotional factors in
fluence the course of advanced
cancer by somehow affecting the
body’s immunity or hormonal sys
tems.
“If a relationship between these
psychosocial factors and im
munologic or neuroendocrine fac
tors can be defined in cancer pa
tients, then we will have taken an
important step,” said the study re
port, published in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.

Not only will more be learned
about the interaction between the
mind and body, but further research
in this area might be able to make an
important contribution to the
treatment of people with cancer, the
report said.
Psychological aid currently de
signed to provide support and com
fort for the cancer patient could be
redesigned, the report said, to
“place the patient in better contact
with his or her emotions.”
The 35 women with advanced
breast cancer in the Johns Hopkins
study were evaluated psychologi
cally at the start of a chemotherapy
treatment program. The women
were interviewed by a trained coun
selor and the treating doctor, and
also completed personal psychologi
cal evaluations of themselves.
Based on the records of similar
cases of breast cancer that had
spread to other parts of the body,
the researchers classified patients
who died less than one year after
start of the drug treatment as short
term survivors, and those who lived
longer as long-term survivors.
“Long-term survivors showed
significantly higher levels of anxiety,
hostility and psychosis than short
term survivors,” the report said.
Patients who were classified as
short-term survivors had a particu
lar lack of hostile symptoms, and
generally higher levels of positive
mood states such as joy, content
ment and affection.
In addition, the physicians’
ratings indicated that they per
ceived the long-term survivors as
less well-adjusted to their illnesses
with significantly more negative at
titudes than those who survived for
shorter periods.

Boycott violation will cost
Houston firm $65,500 fine
clear industry, but would weaken
the impact of the panel’s findings
and conclusions.
A final draft of the “major findings
and conclusions included harsh
criticism of the NRC and Metropoli
tan Edison, the utility that operated
the stricken Three Mile Island reac
tor.
But a critic said that without a
construction moratorium, “the
pro-nukes will simply say the criti
cisms can’t be extrapolated to other
aspects of the industry.
“It undermines the seriousness of
the commission’s findings,” he said.
Hopes for a construction freeze
were dashed last week when panel
chairman John Kemeny, president
of Dartmouth College, abstained
from a close vote on one of three
separate moratorium plans.
Kemeny had previously voted
with the faction favoring some form
of moratorium to underscore the
need for a break with past compla
cency about nuclear safety.
The closest thing to the freeze
sought by nuclear foes was the rec
ommendation linking reactor con
struction and licensing to approval
of state and local emergency plans, a
commission source said.
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Com
merce Department Tuesday slap
ped a $65,500 fine on a Houston
firm for violating government anti
boycott rules involving sales to
Middle East countries.
The department alleged that
Cameron Iron Works Inc. of Hous
ton had “repeatedly” furnished in
formation from its offices in Houston
and Leeds, England, to customers
in Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Oman,
Qatar, Iraq and Libya, which cer
tified that Cameron’s products were
not of Israeli origin.
The U.S. anti-boycott law pro
hibits U.S. firms from furnishing in
formation about business relation
ships with countries boycotted by
Arab nations, such as Israel.
