Texas nuclear project
ranked below average
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Nuc
lear Regulatory Commission, in
its first comprehensive perform
ance assessment of nuclear plants,
has rated seven of 42 reactor con
struction sites below average and
none above average.
The still unpublished NRC re
port rated as “below average” the
Catawba site in South Carolina,
Marble Hill in Indiana, Midland
in Michigan, South Texas Project,
Watts Bar in Tennessee,
Washington Nuclear Project and
Zimmer in Ohio.
Two reactors are being built at
each of the “below average” sites
except for the single-reactor pro
jects in Washington and Ohio. A
rating of average was assigned to
all the remaining 35 construction
sites. None fell into the “above
average” classification.
“A finding of below average
does not imply that a facility must
be shut down or that construction
of a facility must be interrupted,”
the report cautioned. “These rat
ings are only relative.
“Simply stated, a below average
facility displays negative charac
teristics or undesireable qualities
that are not typical of a majority of
facilities,” it said.
A below average facility shows
evidence of “significant adminis
trative, managerial or material
problems in several activity
areas.”
The unpublished “report card”
also assessed operating reactor
sites, rating only nine above aver
age, 26 average and 15 below av
erage.
Weaknesses associated with be
low average facilities occurred in
radiation protection, plant secur
ity, radioactive waste manage
ment, fire protection and
emergency preparedness.
Critical Mass, an arm of Ralph
Nader’s Public Citizen, called for
a congressional probe of the rat
ings in letters to Senators James
McClure, R-Idaho; Alan Simpson,
R-Wyo.; Gary Hart, D-Colo., and
Representatives Morris Udall, D-
Ariz.; John Dingell, D-Mich.; Ed
ward Markey, D-Mass., and Toby
Moffett, D-Conn.
“We already know that there
are crippling safety and manage
ment deficiencies at functioning
reactors,” said Critical Mass Dire
ctor Anna Gyorgy. “But plants
under construction are experienc
ing equally dangerous problems
making them potential time
bombs.”

PHILADELPHIA — A man
mistakenly locked inside the pub
lic library because he was reading
a Bible spent 13 days in jail until a
social worker rescued him, a
newspaper reports.
The Bulletin said Sunday lib
rary officials claim the police in
sisted on prosecuting Carlos San
chez, 30, of Philadelphia.
Sanchez, who speaks little En
glish, was sitting on a stool, block
ed from view by library stacks and
reading a Spanish-language Bible
on Aug. 21 when librarians locked
up Philadelphia’s Free Library
and went home.
He said he managed to attract
the attention of a passerby after he
realized his plight and watched as
she called police.
Police, however, told The Bul
letin they received no call from a
woman and spotted Sanchez in
side the library while on routine
patrol.
Two hours later, librarian
Michelle Gendrom, who recog
nized Sanchez as a regular, ar
rived to free him, the newspaper
said.
Police and Gendrom agreed no
thing was stolen, but Sanchez was
taken handcuffed from the library

Unable to meet bail, Sanchez
was jailed.

and arranged for him to be re
leased on his own recognizan
ce. He has since been placed on
probation.

Iran revolt predicted
United Press International
HOUSTON — A spokesman for
the University of Houston’s Mos
lem Student Society predicted the
regime of Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini soon will be over
thrown in a revolution similar to
the one that toppled the Shah of
Iran.
Khomeini forces now avoid
many streets in Tehran for fear of
being killed by opposition forces
of the Mojaheedin movement,
Hahmed Nura told radio station
KULF.
The opposing group has more
than 100,000 members ready to
overthrow Khomeini and install
exiled president Bani Sadr, said
Nura, an engineering student.
He said the longest the current
government can last is two years,
but he expects it to crumble in a
matter of months.
Nura, who said he gets his in
formation from family members in
Iran, predicted the revolution
would start with worker strikes as
did the overthrow of the Shah. But
this time, Nura said, the dissi
dents will be armed.
He estimated that only 10 to 15
percent of the Iranian’s people in
Tehran support the Ayatollah.
