Hospitals accumulating nuke waste

AUSTIN — Texas hospitals
faced with a possible shutdown of
the state’s only remaining storage
site for low level radioactive waste
are accumulating drums of the
waste in their hallways, Health
Commissioner Dr. Robert Bern

ago.
Bernstein, in a report to the
Texas Energy and Natural Re

Nuclear Sciences and Services
Inc. of Houston, the only firm in
Texas still accepting radioactive
waste for storage and ultimate dis-
“Unless there are some
changes in the situation, after
April 1 we will not have a single
company accepting waste,” he
said. “Many of our hospitals and
medical facilities have waste
drums accumulating in their hall
ways.”
Bernstein had indicated earlier
that Texas medical facilities might
have to curtail the use of radioac
tive materials in diagnosis and
treatment, but told the council
Thursday: “Things don’t look
He said radioactive waste dis
posal firms in Nevada and North
Carolina have indicated they may
be willing to send trucks into
Texas to collect medical wastes
until a state disposal firm is lis-
censed under a law nearing final
passage in the Legislature.
A coalition of anti-nuclear
groups called a news conference
Thursday to contend the medical
waste issue is being raised to
frighten the public and the Legisl
ature into permitting permanent
radioactive waste sites in Texas.
“The point is not whether we
really need storage sites for
medical waste, but whether in
dustrial users of radioactive subst
ances and utilities that generate
nuclear power will have dumps for
their far larger amounts of radioac
tive garbage,” Bill Simmons of the
Lone Star Alliance said.
“There is not a medical crisis in
Texas.” Hospitals could store
much of their own short-life
radioactive wastes in concrete
bins on the hospital grounds, he
suggested.
“The situation in Texas is not so
critical as to warrant hasty deci
sions,” Simmons said. “The nuc
lear industry is stampeding the
Texas Legislature, and we are
advising caution. If business goes
on as usual, the rich will get
richer, the public will get radi
ated, and all radiation can cause

strong suggested possible use of
state owned lands in low popu
lated areas of West Texas for tem
porary radioactive waste storage
sites, but Bernstein said that
would not avoid opposition from
citizens.
“I'm convinced that no matter
where you put it, you will have
opposition,” Bernstein said. "If
you put it way out west where
there are no people, the jackrah-
bits will organize in opposition.”

Atlanta murders may be

United Press International
ATLANTA — The mass mur
derer stalking Atlanta’s children
may not have killed his first victim
until at least a month after the city
formed a special police task force
to investigate child slayings, re
ports indicated Thursday.
Fulton County District Attor
ney Lewis R. Slaton, in a copyr
ighted interview in the Atlanta
Constitution, said police are work
ing on the theory there may be as
many as 10 different killers, only
one or two of whom committed
more than one of the city’s 20 black
child murders in the past 19
months.
Slaton said police believe only
the last six or seven killings — with
the possible exception of three
much earlier ones — are related.
This coincides with reports FBI
agents are working on the theory it
was not until the murder of Clif
ford Jones, 13, whose body was

found the day after he disappeared
killer en-
on Aug. 30, that a mass
tered the picture.
It was on July 17, after prodding
by parents of some of the victims,
the city established a special
police task force to handle the
cases.
Some authorities have specu
lated the killer has recently been
responding to publicity — the last
body was found within a mile of a
church whose pastor has taken out
advertisements urging the killer
to surrender — and the frequency
of the killings has gradually in
creased since the task force was
established.
Slaton said only two or three of
the earlier murders may have
been connected, and there was no
indication those had any connec
tion with the more recent killings.
The theory of unrelated mur
ders also was supported recently
by a medical examiner who said
the city normally has as many as 15
murders a year among black chil
dren under the age of 17.
Slaton said the last six or seven
killings are connected by the
cause of death. Each was strangled
or suffocated. The FBI reportedly
feels there is even more evidence,
such as the arrangement of the
bodies in some cases, to support a
link, and has generated a psycho
logical profile of the killer.
Adding to the confusion,
however, is the matter of fibroin
evidence medical examiners
found on some of the bodies. Ik
evidence, they said, appeared to
link four cases with three others
Slaton also said the cases of Mi-
ton Harvey, Christopher Richard
son and Earl Terrell appeared to
be connected to each other, but
not necessarily to any of the other
17 killings. Harvey disappeared
Sept. 4, 1979. His body was found
two months later, and no caused
death has been determined
Richardson disappeared JuneS,
1980, and Terrell July 30, 1986,
their skeletons were found Iasi
January a few yards apart, andles i
than a mile from where Harveys;
body was found. Slaton said the

even one” of the slayings if there
are as many as 10 unconnected hi
