Thermonuclear Plasmas Ecology and the energy crisis were reviewed at the annual fall meeting of the Utah Academy of Sciences Arts and Letters at Weber State College Friday An exciting breakthrough in the problem of containing thermonuclear plasmas a step toward obtaining fusion energy was disclosed Issues involving proposed construction of the coal-fueled Kaiparowits power plant in Kane County were debated by engineers and ecology specialists i Another highlight was the awarding to Dr Henry Eyring nationally recognized scientist and humanitarian the Willard Gardner award for significant contribution in the sciences The prize included a $1500 check from the family of the late scientist by his son Willard Gardner associate professor computer sciences at Brigham Young University Dr Eyring author of scientific books was honored specifically for his Structure Theory of and for his extension of his absolute rate theory into the field of biology with application to the aging and cancer Dr Alton Davis of Weber Department of Political Science was moderator of the Kaiparowits panel Other panelists were Dr Glen Nelson professor of economics at Brigham Young University Robert Currie engineer for Southern California Edison electric utility and Sherman Janke doctoral candidate at University of Utah and chairman of Utah Clear an ecological organization In Utah Dr Davis said power consumption is doubling from 1204 megawatts in 1970 to a projected 2319 in 1980 and 4562 in 1990 the same as in the rest of the US contends shale oil development is 20 to 40 years away and nuclear power developed a lot of The Kaiparowits project proposed by a consortium of electric utility companies including Southern California Edison is a thermal electric plant designed to develop resources out of Kane County coal and Colorado River water for power and jobs in Utah Dr Davis said Looking at the socio-economic effects of Kaiparowits Dr Nelson said Kane County now with a population of a few thousand would grow to some 15000 people An additional $33 million in sales tax revenues $5 million in property taxes and $16 million in coal royalties would be realized Dr Nelson said Impure air is critical to life itself Mr Janke said and he objected to as being the only criterion for dam building Mr Currie stressed the conservation values in the generation and use of electric power from coal fired units thus saving depleting oil and gas sources The plant would burn 9 million tons of coal a year or the equivalent of 33 million barrels of imported oil Mr Currie said are committed to building the project without damage to the environment in the he said in stressing emission controls to protect air quality The project would use 43000 acre feet of water a year with much of the water Brigham Young University scientists said the new characteristic possessed by their fusion device design is a branch of mathematics called topology that has not been previously applied in fusion research In relation to geothermal or solar energy fusion energy has advantages of being relatively versatile and conveniently available in all climates and locations limitless

Says A discussion of training programs for institutionalized students will be a highlight of a regular meeting of the Ogden Board of Education Monday at 5 pm in school board offices Another featuie will be a report on the status of the educational television station said Dr William superintendent Dr Garner said a bill passed by a recent session of the legislature makes it the responsibility of the district from which a student comes to provide educational opportunities for him Dr Garner said one proposal being considered is that the Ogden District be responsible for the schooling program at the Utah State Industrial School the Provo District for the State Hospital in Provo and the Alpine District for the Utah State Training School in American Fork The three districts then would bill other districts for the students they served Another proposals is that the programs continue to be handled as they are through the institutions and that they bill the home school districts Dr Garner

this year 1258 last year Pine View 60300 acre feet compared to 54770 last year Echo 40280 this year 32790 last year Wanship 62000 this year compared to 42290 in 1972 Willard Bay 164000 compared to 157000 and East Canyon 39-900 compared to 35700 Engineer -Kostoff told the board water is spilling over Wanship Dam for the first time in the history of its contraction He said the condition was as problems with the power plant required the district to shut off flows into the Weber River below for a two-hour period SPILLING WATER He said the fact the water was spilling provided enough water in the stream to sustain fish life as required under agreements with the state wildlife division Repairs to a 54-inch butterfly valve at the plant the being made he told the board A transformer also is being repaired at the Gateway power plant at a cost of $12000 A check also will be made regarding Park City taking water from the Spiral Tunnel The tunnel may be one source of water for the district it was reported The board voted to cancel plans for building a new 13-acre reservoir on the Uintah bench when was reported costs would be prohibitive Engineer Kostoff said the reservoir would cost the district $150000 with the rough excavation work being done by the private contract COSTS DOUBLED He said the costs of hardware and fixtures for the reservoir have doubled He said the district could better invest the money and suggested an alternate plan A larger overflow line could be installed' for $3000 and present pumps used continuously to keep an adequate supply of water in the present reservoir facilities serving the area he said The extra cost of runing the pumps full time would be about $400 to $500 a year but it would be better for the equipment it was indicated The board also indicated it does not want the district city water It rejected a proposal the district build facilities to supply water at the 5 300-foot level of North Salt Lake SAME FAVOR Board members pointed out other communities along the Wasatch Front could then ask for the same consideration The district they indicated should make water available at present district facilities but cities should built facilities they need The board was told the Smith Morehouse Reservoir Dam leaking probably will be repaired next spring The state engineer has reportedly informed reservoir water users the reservoir can not be filled until the dam is repaired I fund The sewer utility fund showed a loss of $3901 BOND FUND The deficits on the two bond funds can be attributed according to Mr Storey to mill levy which has been assigned to each of the funds He said that despite the deficits there is a sufficient balance in each of the funds to eliminate the need to raise the mill levy before the bonds reach maturation The sewer utility fund ac-1 cording to Mr Storey showed a deficit because $10000 from that fund had been transferred to the water works construction fund I The city has total assets of Over
