HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) -
The latest in a series of
equipment failures ham-
pering efforts to clean up the
contaminated Three Mile
Island nuclear power pliant
has caused a spill of
radioactive water and a
minor release of radiation.

A leak in the system
keeping the plant — site of
the world's worst nuclear
plant accident — in cold
shutdown dumped 950
gallons of radioactive water
into an adjoining building
Monday.

Nuclear Regulatory
Commission spokesman
Karl Abraham said the spill
released “a trivial quantity”
of radiation from the plant.

The incident posed no
threat to the public health,
said John Collins, a senior
official of the federal
Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission.

“Any malfunction will add

to the continuing problems.
These will probably continue
to occur during the period of
recovery,” said Collins, who
is in charge of the Three
Mile Island supervision for
the NRC.

The spillage occurred
when a pressure valve
malfunctioned and allowed
radioactive water to pour
out of the cooling system
that is used to maintain
stability in the crippled Unit
No. 2 reactor.

Collins said there was no
danger the reactor would
become destabilized becau
of the incident.

The spilled radioactive
water splashed onto the floor
of 4 building that adjoins the
reactor structure.

Three Mile Island's
crippled reactor has been in
a state of cold shutdown for
about 10 months, and efforts
to decontaminate the facility
have been hindered.

Waste in space

WASHINGTON (UPI) - An
aerospace engineer con-
cerned about the safety of
future generations has
revived the idea of rocketing
the world’s growing store of
nucleat waste materials into
interplanetary space.

Stanley G. Rosen
recognizes such a project
would have political, legal,
economic and technological
complications but he said it
may be the best answer to a
problem that promises to get
worse as nuclear power
expands around the globe.

“It appears irresponsible
io wait indefinitely to
develop the capability ... or
to take actions which
preclude it altogether,”
Rosen said at the recent
annual meeting of the
American Associavion for
the Advancement of
Science.

The problem, of course, is
that some radioactive

many centuries. No = ac-

found.

Rosen, an Air Force
officer representing the
American Institute of
Aeronautics and
Astronautics, said a careful
space disposal plan _ for
nuclear waste would take a
long ime to develop and the
prudent approach probably
would be to wait 20 years or

. So before moving ahead.

But he said now ts the time
to begin laying the ground-
work so the option would be
available to the people of the
21st Century.

“Itis evident that a project
of the magnitude of the
space disposal option
requires a significant amount
of preparation,” he said.
