SHREVEPORT, La. — A
Louisiana senator says radioac
tive wastes will not be stored at a
north Louisiana salt dome, and
the site legally will be banned
from future consideration as a
waste repository.
The Vacherie salt dome,
which straddles the Webster-
Bienville parish line, is at the
bottom of a list of Five potential
storage sites, Sen. J. Bennett
Johnston, D-La., said Wednes
day. Once dropped from that
group, the dome legally will be
eliminated from future dump
site searches.
“They are not going to store
nuclear waste in Vacherie,” he
said.
The Energy Department
announced Tuesday the
Vacherie dome was among sites
in six states under consideration
to become the nation’s First high-
level nuclear waste reposilor

Baby born of dead mother
United Press International
SAN FRANCISCO — A team
of 100 doctors, nurses and
medical technicians delivered a
healthy 3-pound boy Tuesday
from a woman legally dead for
two months, proving there is
almost no limit to the time a
mother’s body can be sustained
by life-support systems to save a
fetus.
The baby was born by Caesa
rian section nine weeks prema
turely at the University of Cali
fornia Hospital. Doctors said
Wednesday the boy had an ex
cellent chance of survival.
The mother was 22 weeks
pregnant when, on Jan. 24, she
suffered a seizure, apparently
caused by a brain cyst. When her
brain stopped functioning, she
was declared legally dead. Life
support systems were used in
hopes of saving the child.
“I wasn’t optimistic about the
baby,” said Dr. Robert Creasy, a
professor of obstetrics at the
medical center. “I thought it was
too early in the pregnancy for
the baby to survive.”
Now, Creasy said, he and
other physicians believe there is
“potentially no limit” to the time
a woman’s body can be sup
ported to save a fetus in similar
cases.
The hospital declined to iden
tify the family at the request of
the father. But a spokesman said
the woman was in her mid-20s
and “very healthy” until her sei
zure.
The father and parents of the
woman elected to keep the
mother’s body on life-support
systems and to remove them af
ter the birth. When the systems
were removed she stopped brea
thing immediately.
The decision to take the baby
nine weeks before full term was
made because the fetus “did not
seem to be growing any more
