IN THE GEGELEN HILLS,
Kazakhstan, U.S.S.R. (AP) — Army
generals opened their secret nuclear
test range here for a group of Soviet
and foreign journalists, showing a si
lent, rusted site that they said proved
the Kremlin had banned nuclear
tests.
Two Soviet generals on hand for
the tour Saturday made it clear the
visit was arranged to reinforce Mos
cow’s appeals to the United States to
join the moratorium on nuclear tests
begun by the Kremlin in August
1985.
“The aim of our journey is to
show you that our test site is silent,”
said Gen. Yuri V. Lebedev, who flew
with the group to the Central Asian
site. “We would like it to remain that
way forever.”
The journalists and official escorts
left Moscow Friday in a special Aer
oflot Tu-134 jet to the city of Semi-
palatinsk in the northeast corner of
Kazakhstan, about 370 miles from
the border with China.
A smaller plane ferried the group
from Semipalatinsk to the garrison
for the test area, an unnamed and
uncharted town along the Irtysh
River.
From there the visitors traveled by
Mi6 helicopter over salt lakes and
herds of wildlife to the foothills of
the Gegelen range.
Rusted piles of abandoned ma
chinery and huge natural granite
formations crumbled by the force of
earlier nuclear blasts give the
steppes the look of an open-pit
mine, and rusted rail tracks run to
corroded iron doors closing off
unused tunnels bored for tests.
The moratorium was declared on
the 40th anniversary of the Aug. 6,
1945 nuclear attack on Hiroshima,
Japan, by the United States toward
the end of World War II.
Before the moratorium, all Soviet
tests on the site were carried out in
shafts bored horizontally into the
granite, said Gen. Arkady D.
Ilyenko, commander of the test zone
A new tunnel was built for each
test, with the length depending on
the strength of the blast, Ilyenko
said.
Senate close to action on drug bill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Senate is nearing passage of a
$1.4 billion measure to combat
drug abuse after backing off the
stiffest features of a counterpart
bill passed by the House — or
dering the military to seal U.S.
borders against smugglers and es
tablishing the death penalty in
major drug cases.
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger said Sunday that the
House’s demand that the military
intercept all drug shipments from
abroad was absurd.
Interviewed on CBS’ “Face the
Nation,” Weinberger said the mil
itary is already doing a great deal
to fight drugs, including sharing
intelligence data with law en
forcement agencies and provid
ing logistical help to other nations
for drug raids, as was the case re
cently in Bolivia.
He noted that 76,000 airplanes
cross the U.S. borders every day
and, to meet the mandate of the
House bill, he said the United
States would have to start shoot
ing down planes.
The Senate plowed through a
series of amendments to its bill by
early Sunday before ending a
marathon day that also saw the
Republican-controlled chamber
pass a landmark tax-overhaul bill.
Senate passage would send the
bill to a House-Senate conference
committee to reconcile the differ
ences between the two versions.
That panel will try to work
a uickly so it can be sent to Presi-
ent Reagan before adjourn
ment.
Many senators declared their
constituents are deeply worried
about the drug issue and are de
manding strong action.
impact of tax overhaul still debated
WASHINGTON (AP) —
There were gloomy predictions
Sunday that the new tax code
awaiting President Reagan’s sig
nature will be an economic disas
ter, but supporters of the package
dismissed such talk as sour grapes
from special interests.
“As the special interests have
been unable to retain their special
preferences and deductions and
so forth, they’ve moved to this ar
gument that this is going to mean
the end of Western civilization as
we know it,” Treasury Secretary
James A. Baker III said on ABC’s
“This Week with David Brink-
ley.” “Let me tell you something,
it is not.”
A day after the Senate gave fi
nal congressional approval to the
broadest overhaul of the federal
tax code in a generation, poli
ticians and economists still ar
gued over the impact of the
changes on the nation’s economy.
Concerns for the economy
have been raised because the bill
would repeal the investment tax
credit and shift $120 billion in
taxes from individuals to cor
porations over the next five years.
“I believe that this is a down tax
bill,” said Murray Weidenbaum, a
former chairman of Reagan’s
Council of Economic Advisers.
“We’re going to see fewer new
jobs created, a weaker economy,
less revenues into the Treasury,
more unemployment compensa
tion and bigger budget deficits. It
may be good politics, but I think
it’s bad economics.”

uids and vapors separate naturally,
into predictable configurations, due
to buoyancy — like the foam rises on
your beer.
“What we want to know is what
happens in zero-gravity. Where does
the liquid go? Top? Bottom? Where?
We need to know this because if you
are going to design power conver
sion and transfer equipment you
must know where the liquid and va
por are in the system.”
Best’s experiment package con
sists of three smaller packages: the
free-float package (the actual experi
ment site); the bolt-down package
(which houses the materials and
equipment for the experiment); and
the computer console unit (where
the test data is recorded).
pressure data and a high-speed cam
era photographs the experiment.
Best said that zero-gravity will be
simulated in the same manner in
which it is produced for astronaut
training.
“The experiment package will be
loaded onto one of NASA’s KG-135
aircraft (the plane used to train as
tronauts in weightlessness),” Best
said. “The plane then flies a series of
parabolas (climbs and dives) at a cal
culated speed and trajectory. This
climbing and diving produces re
duced gravity (zero-gravity) for
short periods of time.”
Kachnik, who will accompany
lile "
The free-floating package is made
up of a boiler where water is heated
and steam is produced. The steam
then is piped into a clear glass tube
called the “test section” where the
steam is condensed into water. The
“test section” is connected to a device
called a “gamma densitometer.”
J\
This device measures the void
fraction, the fraction of vapor and
liquid relative to their positions in
the tube. Thermo-couplings are
used to gather temperature and
Best on the flight, said that while he
is excited about the flight itself, the
experiment has top priority.
“I’m excited about the flight, but
my main concern is the performance
of the equipment,” Kachnik said.
“That’s really why I’m going, to
make sure all the equipment works
properly.”
Best said the project, which was
funded by NASA for $98,000 and
has taken nearly two years to com
plete, was given to A&M primarily
because of the University’s space re
search center.
