fam 0 Pittsburgh Press, June 7, 1 98 1 Shippingperf Probe Hints Sabotage have just anyone wandering around As part of its investigation of the incident Duquesne Light yesterday began trying to identify people who might have had access to the valve. Beck said efforts were complicated because outside construction workers have been in the plant on a 'regular basis for maintainence and modification chores. He indicated that the apparent sabotage attempt almost had to have been an inside job. Security inside the nuclear plant, he said, is "unbelievable." There is continuous electronic surveillance, as well as patrolling guards, Beck said, adding: "It's not like we can whenever a problem arises that may not be able to be controlled at the plant The valve which was discovered closed yesterday morning is designed to pump 600 to 700 gallons of water a minute into the reactor in the event that other cooling systems faiL It is only used in emergency situations.

Appeals Court Stays Welfare Payments where we're bankrupting the state treasury or the welfare department We're not asking for the impossible." Webb replied, "The order of Co-hill does ask for the impossible.

The state can't spend for that which is not appropriated." He added that the treasurer has sworn that the funds aren't available. "It would be somewhat naive to believe we would be here today asking for an extraordinary ste-p. there were some mere inconvenience."

Beck said the valve was in its proper open position during an inspection made at about 3 p.m. Friday, but was discovered closed about 10 hours, later. He said the lock and chain which keep the valve in an open position had been removed. The valve cannot be manipulated from the reactor plant's control room, Beck added. The only way to close it is by hand.

"It does not appear to have been an accident," said Karl Abraham, a Knblk Information officer for the Inclear Regulatory Commission. Abraham said NRC inspectors reported to the Beaver Valley plant yesterday to begin their own investigation of the incident. Beck emphasized that there are a number of 'redundant" systems designed to cool the reactor in the event of an emergency, and said the high head safety injection system -would be called into play only as a last resort in a virtually fail-safe process. He did acknowledge, however, that the system constitutes the last, line of defense against the ultimate disaster at an atomic power plant a meltdown of the radioactive core. Beck termed it the "so-called China Svndrome," but maintained that such an eventuality was highly unlikely and added: "I would hope you would not want to be associated with that kind of sensationalism." Dnqneme Light did not issue a statement on the incident before being contacted by The Press.

Surprised by a reporter's queries about the problem at Beaver valley, Ralph Gerace, civil defense coordinator of Beaver County, contacted -the plant in an effort to find out what was going on. He didn't get anywhere. "They told me, 'If you want to" know anything, get hold of the Du-quesne Light PR people," Gerace said.

Larry Funsten, a Neighborhood Legal Services attorney, told Weis that Cohill's order is a temporary restraining order, and, as such, the state can appeal it Cohill has scheduled a hearing on an injunction for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. Ed Feinstein, another legal services attorney, said the state won't suffer irreparable harm if the checks are delayed, but the welfare recipients will. "Our harm is going to be great We have no way of knowing what the legislature is going to do. The one thing we know is our people aren't going to be getting their checks on Monday," Feinstein said.

Fnnsten added, "No where has the state alleged they don't have the funds. What they've said is they oon nave the funds In the special accounts.
