NRC warning on bolt corrosion The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has told 47 reactor operators to keep an eye on bolt corrosion problems that might lead to a radioactive leak, an NRC spokeswoman said yesterday in Washington.

In a routine inspection, officials at the Maine Yankee plant found six broken studs on a passageway providing access to the steam generator unit and another five of the 20 plants involved showed signs of cracking, according to an NRC information bulletin. According to staff reports, 23 incidents of corrosion in 350 years of combined reactor operating time have been found that if not discovered eventually could result in at least a small loss of reactor coolant. The Metropolitan District Commission and Massachusetts State Police yesterday completed their search of Walden Pond in Lincoln for the body of a Harvard University graduate student who has been missing since last November.

Connolly from enforcing the statute and require him to accept 10,000 signatures. In rejecting the request, Skinner said the affidavits the Libertairans submitted were "vague and BTMRT HUMMING fit I Ml Iff J-. 7)e Wo7cf's Largesf Seer 0 Famous Brand Furniture with 76 Stores Coast to Coast DANVERS WESTBORO DEDHAM V.F.W.
