CURRENT-ARGUS, Carlsbad, N.M., Tuesday, January 15, 1930 Another TMI: Are We Ready Now? (ires beco:) Police Blotter have quickly exposed shortcomings. At an exercise last October at the Trojan nuclear plant near the Oregon-Washington border, about 40 miles some respects," said Brian Grimes, head of the NRC task force, which has visited half the country's plant sites to examine plans. "How do you plow through the i northwest of Portland, state mock press conference he really didnt know what the state of Washington was doing," Another problem is money. A federal study estimates that nationwide, states and communities may have to pay $10 million in 1980 to establish the projects, plus another $1.8 million a year in operating costs. That would break down to about $360,000 per state.

the morass and au complexities and Before Three Mile Island, the NRC and the nuclear industry believed reactor design would prevent a major accident and only a "low population zone" of no more than three miles need, be covered by an emergency plan. The president's commission on Three Mile Island said that approach was useless because a serious accident would affect a much larger area. The proposed NRC rules expand emergency planning, (including possible evacuation, -to 10 miles from a plant, and some precautions would be required as far as 50 miles away. According to a federal survey, no final plan in line with the proposed NRC rules has yet been submitted to Washington. -r "Everybody is short in the and local officials wanted to show coordination between, the two "Two hours into the exercise," recalled Grimes, "the governor of Oregon (Victor Atiyeh) had to tell a unknown? asked Hilary Whittaker, a planner with the National Governors' Association.

Obituaries G2 InjeCtuom Well Set WASHINGTON (AP) On a Sunday morning in October, radiation leaked from the Fort St. Vrain nuclear plant northeast of Denver. Not until that night did Lt Gov.

Nancy Dick, the ranking official in the state at the time, learn about it from a reporter. Although the leak was confined to the plant and apparently posed no public danger, an angry Mrs. Dick said she should have been informed immediately. She was not the only one left in the dark. It was mid-afternoon before any authorities were notified; plant workers said they tried to call the state health L- department in the morning but got no answer.

The incident in Colorado which occurred seven months after a release of radiation at the Three Mile Island plant in Pennsylvania demonstrates that emergency communications procedures are still far from clear at the nation's 70 commercial nuclear power plants.

Meanwhile, Agriculture Department officials have asked Brazil and Argentina not to sell additional soybeans or soybean meal and oil to the Soviets as a result of the U.S. cancellation of sales on those products.

Howard W. Hjort, the Monday that Argentina and Brazil made no commitments to join the U.S. embargo on the sales of soybeans to the Soviet Union. Thomas Saylor, associate administrator of the' department's Foreign Agricultural Service, said the two countries were asked to cooperate "in not shipping soybeans and soybean products to the Soviet Union" to offset the orders canceled by Carter. The United States asked Argentina and Brazil to "limit their exports to the Soviet Union to normal trade levels" and suggested that the three countries exchange information on exports and trade flows.

Tourism The MCA, which covers more than half the Maljamar field, has produced 49 million barrels of oil since 1963 when water flooding was initiated. But the two standard recovery processes have coaxed out onl about half of the estimated 95 million barrels in the reservoir. What about the rest of it? That's where tertiary recovery comes in, and in this- case C02 may be the answer. Experts say it could recover up to half of the oil still in place. The C02 will be injected into the test area, which covers five acres, under carefully controlled conditions.

Burton Sr. Services for Orville Estil Burton Sr. will be held were to occur today, much of the conf usion and chaos that marked the Three Mile Island-incident might well be repeated. For months, a special task force of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been working with officials in 40 states and hundreds of communities to develop new -rules on emergency planning. One NRC staff member calls it "a can of worms," with problems that will take time to work out.

State and local governments complain they will have to spend money they do not have. Some federal and state officials disagree: on procedures for accident notification. Others argue that a number of proposed requirements, such as an ability to notify the public within 15 minutes, may be impossible. And the new NRC requirement that a 10-mile area from all plants be ready for quick evacuation has been challenged in cases where there are large concentrations of people, such as the Indian Point reactors near New York City and the Zion units north of Chicago. Last month, President Carter told the NRC and the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to complete a review of all such plans by June.

New NRC rules, expected to go into effect early in 1981, will require federal approval -for all emergency plans. One version would require plants to shut down immediately if adequate plans are not approved by the NRC. department's chief economists and policy The grain purchases and analyst, said Monday Jhe other actions were ordered formal arrangements for by the administration wneip Month 1980 2,468 Month 1979.... 1,325 1980 To Date 2,468 1979 To Date 1,325 Living Desert State Park Total To Date 531,484 1980 To Date 970 1979 To Date 528 Month 1980 970 Month 1979... 528 Yesterday's 51 Carlsbad Caverns National Park Total Today.

But elephants, kiddie cars and unauthorized funeral processions must still keep their distance. It's currently a misdemeanor crime a violation of the Enited States Capitol Traffic Regulations to "coast or slide on a sled" within the Capitol grounds. Seven-year-old Jay Maguire found this out the hard way on a recent snowy day when he and a group of friends sledding on the slope behind the Senate wing were stopped by Capitol police.

Jay's angered father, Rep. Andrew Maguire, responded as lawmakers often, do when in a tight spot. .30 cdy He threatened to file a bill. The Maguire Act would overturn the anti-sledding rule. But House Speaker Thomas P.

a member of the board that writes such rules, intervened -and argued for retention of the rule. O'Neill reportedly assured Maguire that, if he agreed not to pursue his legislation, the subject would be brought up the next time the board on which Vice President Walter F. Mondale also, sits meets. "The speaker is trying to work it out with maybe an alternate site for elephant, duck, goose, pigs or other swine, cattle, horse, mule, goat, elephant, duck, goose or other un-demesticated animal, insect or reptile" onto the Capitol grounds. Dogs can be walked in the vicinity of the Capitol but only on leash "not exceeding four feet in length," the rule book states.

Seven wells will be drilled on an inverted five-spot pattern one for four to produce oil and two to log and monitor. Although the pilot is set up to last four years, technicians expect to spot trends and begin making evaluations in perhaps half that time.

From this information a decision will be made on whether to put the entire unit on C02 flooding. A larger project would require, among other things, building a pipeline to bring in C02.

The Maguires weren't the only ones to run afoul of the rules and regulations for the Capitol grounds. Not long several aides to Rep. Bob Carr, were tossing a Frisbee on the Capitol lawn when stopped by an "How petty can we get?" Carr demanded in a letter to O'Neill. But to no. avail.

After all, Carr was reminded, Section 104, clearly states: "No person or persons shall use any portion of the Capitol Grounds, including steps, terraces and cour- tyards, as a playground." 54 47 47 43 57 40 31 5 54 40 44 39 II 63 40 33 Albany Albu'que.
