Atomic licensing hearings scheduled for Wolf Creek
BURLINGTON — The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will begin hearings tomorrow about whether to issue an operating license for the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant.
The plant, which is being built by the Kansas City Power & Light Co., the Kansas Electric Power Cooperative Inc. and the Kansas Gas and Electric Co., is scheduled to begin operation in the spring of 1985.
Cold water showers JRP residents
Two women who live near the Wolf Creek plant have challenged the application for an operating license. They claim emergency plans developed by Coffey County and the state are inadequate to protect people living within 10 miles of the nuclear plant in the event of a significant radiation release.
Some residents at Joseph R. Pearson Hall had no trouble staying out of hot water last week because a few showers in JRP had no hot water.
Jim Silke, residence hall director for JRP, said he thought the problem had been corrected because he hadn't received any complaints about cold showers since Friday.
brook Corn showers since Friday.
Silke said approximately 12 of the hall's 48 showers had been sporadically without hot water since Wednesday, when the first complaints were received.
Dean Milroy, assistant director of housing, said valves on the showers probably had not been mixing hot and cold water properly.

or Age Culture, on top of the Capitol dome.
The bill, sponsored by House Speaker Pro Tem Ben Foster, R-Wichita, says that the legislature in 1891 established a procedure for a statue to be placed aton the Capitol dome.
The bill caused a furor when proposed in the 1980 session of the legislature because former House Minority leader Fred Weaver objected to the bill on the grounds that Ceres was a pagan goddess.

House will vote on plan to relieve jail crowding
By TODD NELSON Staff Reporter
An emergency proposal to provide more than 400 minimum-security spaces for state prisoners would only temporarily relieve the problem of prison overcrowding in Kansas, the state corrections secretary said yesterday.
Michael Barbara, the secretary, said his department's $2.4 million emergency supplemental appropriation would convert two buildings at state hospitals in Winfield and Topeka into pre-release centers for minimum custody inmates. The money would also finance the conversion of a dormitory at the Kansas State Penitentiary at Lansing for the same purpose.
Michael Barbara
HOWEVER, HE SAID, "You can't build your way out of prison over-crowding problems. It's too expensive to get to the point where you've built enough."
Kansas Senate approved the proposal last week by a vote of 40-0. The House of Representatives should vote on it by the middle of this week.
The ideal capacity of the prison system is about 2,600 prisoners. Barbara told about 25 people at the Lawrence Public Library. The current population is 3,700 and is rapidly growing toward its maximum capacity of 3,886. he said.
Barbara said that about 50 prisoners were added to the state prison system each month and that the population could reach 3,900 by June.
If the emergency proposal were to fail, Barbara said, prisoners might be freed.
BECAUSE BUILDING new prisons could not solve the prisons' problems, he said the state should consider controlling the number of people entering prisons and the lengths to which they must be held. He also suggested that the state relax parole.
However, he added that current
public attitude would be against this because many people felt the only way to control crime was to be hard on criminals.
Bbarbara said the state faced a "dire need" for additional space and should not wait until the next fiscal year to address the problem.
If passed, the $2.4 million proposal would be immediately added to the department of corrections' budget for this year, and therefore could be used
PART OF THAT $2.4 million would go to establishing centers where non-violent criminals would be housed during the 90 days prior to their release.
Prisoners in these centers would undergo rehabilitation to help prepare them to rejoin their families and communities after release.
Barbara said the state prison system now had no formal release pro-
Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, said after the meeting that he expected the House to approve the request "as smoothly as the Senate did."
BARBARA SAID the projects at Winfield and Topeka would add 209 spaces to the system. The conversion at Lansing would add 127.
