’age 4 Srh THE BATTALION TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1980 ree Mile Island vents krypton United Press Internationa] MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — Monitors around Three Mile Island de tected krypton-85 in the environment after the radioactive gas was deliberately vented from the crippled nuclear power plant last weekend, the Environmental Protection Agency said Monday. EPA analyst Frank Grossman said the levels were so small they pose no threat to public health. “It’s nothing significant,” Grossman said. Engineers for plant operator Metropolitan Edison Co. eliminated a bug in the radiation monitoring system and continued releases Mon day, at a rate of 2,000-4,000 curies of Krypton-85 per day. Four minutes into Saturday’s venting, the plant’s radiation moni tors (designed to detect abnormal releases of radioactive dust particles, like cesium and cobalt) falsely set off the alarm and halted venting. Hundreds of people fled their homes during the weekend, but Gov. Dick Thornburgh toured the plant’s control room nerve center Sunday and said area residents had no cause for worry. “I advised all residents of the ara to do what I intend to do — and that’s go about my daily business,” Thornburgh said. Harold Denton, chief of reactor operations for the Nuclear Regula tory Commission, called Three Mile Island — site of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history on March 28, 1979 — “a star-crossed plant.” A total of 1,240 curies of the 57,000 curies of the gas that became trapped inside the nuclear reactor containment building during the 1979 accident were vented over the weekend, Met-Ed said. The EPA said the most krypton gas its monitors detected in the environment was 0.14 curies — at the Met-Ed company gate almost a mile away from the 160-foot venting chimney — a level the EPA said was one-hundreth of the level allowed by federal health standards. Three of EPA’s five krypton monitoring stations registered no radioactivity, Grossman said. Engineers hoped to maintain their original daily venting rate, which will take two weeks.

United Press International ATLANTA — Attorneys for Geor gia, in an admittedly unusual move, turned to the Supreme Court Mon day to vacate a stay of execution and allow the state to send convicted murderer Jack Potts to the electric chair today. Attorneys for Potts, who remained in a “deathwatch” cell only yards from the execution chamber Sunday night, have called the state’s appear ance before the Supreme Court “un usual and vindictive.” State Attorney General Arthur Bolton said normally his office would “terminate any appellate procedures under such circumstances pending argument before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals” in New Orleans. However, because Potts has twice asked his execution be carried out so he could “die in peace” — and twice changed his mind — “my staff shall immediately attempt to have the Supreme Court of the United States terminate the stay order in order that the judgment of execution may be carried out on schedule next Tues day,” Bolton said. Ralph Goldberg, an attorney for Potts, said he thought the high court would rule in the condemned man’s favor. “I doubt the Supreme Court would be willing to disturb the status quo enough to kill someone,” he said. “I think Jackie Potts is in the appeal process for good now,” said Joe Nursey, another attorney for Potts. State Attorney Don Langahm seemed to agree with Potts’ two attorneys about the Supreme Court’s disposition. “The appeal is being made, but I am not sure whether they will consider it.” BANGKOK, T aphers and two This is the second time Pi|||ed and held for who was convicted for the 19"5i^n freed unharn nap-murder of Michael Priest Cambodian horde been under the official deatlnw®They said they I^ate last year, he fired his i shouldn’t happen : neys and asked all appeals on lilvorker from Surr half be halted.
