Strange noise closes Wolf Creek nuclear plant
Utility companies postpone merger plan
By Andy Taylor
Kansas staff writer
A strange noise from the Wolf Creek Generating Station, a nuclear power plant near Burlington, Kan., forced officials to shut down the operation and delay a $1 billion merger between the state's two largest utility companies.
The sound was heard Monday in the coolant area of the nuclear reactor, 17 days after another noise was heard from the same area.
Ron Smith, a representative from Wolf Creek, said yesterday that the noise, a low rumble, probably had come from expanding pipes.
"Nuclear power plants create thermal expansion of the pipes," he said. "There was no damage, and the plant is temporarily shut down. It might take a few more days for us to analyze the noise."
He said that Wolf Creek, which is 60 miles southwest of Lawrence, began operating in September 1985.
Officials from Kansas Gas and Electric and Kansas Power and Light, both part owners of the plant, said that a merger between the two companies, planned for Monday, had been postponed until the noise problem could be diagnosed.

thought to be of concern to both companies," said Michel 'Quchenbush, a press representative for KPL. "We delayed the merger date until KPL and KG&E are satisfied with the status of the analysis."
Lyle Kropeer, manager of corporate communications at KG&E, said that Wolf Creek had held a world-record 487 days of continuous operation for a nuclear power plant.
Francis Prosser, KU professor of physics, said that the operation of Wolf Creek was normal despite the sound.
Quakenbush said that KPL served Lawrence and the KU campus, and Wolf Creek serviced 750,000 customers in eastern Kansas.
"They received a penalty from the NRC for not properly training some of their employees," he said. "But over

all the operation of Wolf Creek is sound."
Proposed Student Senate budget exceeds limit
Kansanstaffreport
Student Senate Finance Committee began budget hearings last night, needing to cut almost half the money requested by 45 different student organizations.
Student organizations requested $134,844.69 for next year. Senate can allocate $71,406.
Stuart Comfort, student body treasurer, gave his report to committee members last night. His proposed budget was $2,304.31 more than the limit. In coming up with the figure, Comfort used the finance committee's set dollar amounts for office supplies, advertising, printing and postage. He also consulted past finance records.
He said that the first goal was to get a balanced budget, then the committee could make additions to budgets if they so desired.
"Once [the budget] is balanced, we are not going to add some place without cutting from somewhere else," Comfort said.
Kurt Broeckelman, co-chairperson
of the committee, said Comfort's proposal was important.
"His recommendations give us a good starting point for discussion," he said. "They get us going in the right direction."
The committee will finish hearing Comfort's report tonight and then begin deliberation on the budget.
