Mishap closes nuclear plant in N.J.
By United Press International
LOWER ALLOWAYS CREEK, N.J.
— A low-level emergency was declared at the troubled Salem I nuclear generating plant yesterday when water accidently was injected into the plant's system and overfilled it, officials said.
The reactor was shut down at the time, and there was no release of radiation or damage, said Brian Gornan, spokesman for the plant operator, Public Service Electric & Gas.
The incident was classified as an "unusual event," the least serious of four categories of emergencies at a nuclear plant, officials said.
AN "UNUSUAL EVENT" means that while there is no emergency such, conditions — if allowed to — should lead to a more serious situation.
The plant was being tested for possible restarting when the incident occurred at 2:07 p.m. CST, said Gorman.
The company said a control room operator unintentionally pushed a computer mouse to the floor.
allowed 1,575 gallons of water to cool in the reactor's 94,000-gallon cooling
GORMAN SAID HE DID not know whether the water had been pumped out of the cooling system, but said the water would be removed by morning.
The extra water, Gorman said, tripped the safety system.
The NRC has been investigating the plant since the reactor's automatic shutdown devices failed Feb. 22 and 25, in what was described as the most significant event involving nuclear safety since Three Mile Island.
10,000 gather in Washington to mourn victims of Holocaust
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — More than 10,000 people, many of them survivors of the Holocaust, gathered at the Washington Monument in a candlelight ceremony last night to remind the world of the 6 Jews killed in Hitler's灭族 camp.
"How shameful," Koch said, jabbing his flat in the air. "The world knew and
"The Holocaust experience must be an indelible imprint on the minds of mankind for all time to come," said Dr. Werner in a concentration camp for five years.
"Our purpose is to make sure that our story is not forgotten," said Roman Kent, chairman of the first American Jewish Holocaust Survivors.
NEW YORK MAYOR EDWARD Koch, in a fiery address, condemned the world for knowingly allowing the extermination of Jews before deciding
Earlier in the day, on the steps of the Capitol, Vice President George Bush told survivors that the Holocaust must
serve as a "universal warning" against indifference to inhumanity.
Bush presented the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Council with a symbolic key to two surplus federal buildings that will be converted with private donations into a "living remembrance" of the Holocaust.
AT THE CANDLELIGHT ceremony,
Leah Laskowski, 68, sat in the front row
with her shawl one her shoulders,
clutching one white candle.
"I should have many candles," said Laskowski. "I lost four brothers, two sisters and my mother and father and auntis and uncles and cousins to count
"I'm glad I came to the reunion. But it's dreasening too. It's so sad."
Vice President Bush, who served as a combat pilot in World War II, noted during his speech that Hitler's initial acts of aggression and atrocity were met with less than a strong world reaction.
"It is said that each step Hitler took, he took after the world did not respond," said Bush. "May this museum serve as a special beacon of light generations — assault our indifference, demanding our involvement."
EARLIER YESTERDAY, SURVIVORS placed a wreath at the grave of a young Army private at Arlington National Cemetery in memory of all American soldiers who died fighting Nazi Germany.
The grave of Pfc. James King of Washington was randomly selected from among Americans killed in World War II during the invasion of Normandy. He was 19.
The wreath was inscribed with the words, "In memory of the valiant American soldiers who gave their lives in the struggle against Nazi Germany
— who liberated the survivors from Nazi death camps. "
Sally Tuckleklar snapped pictures of the wreath and recalled the day — May 8, 1945. That American troops needed her as her死斗 death camp in Czechozovlakia.
"The soldiers rode atop tanks and screamed, "You are free. You are free." Tuckklaper said. "I remember just standing there, crying."
THE MUSEUM IS TO OPEN by 1988. It will be located on the Mall and include photographs, films and more than 100 taped oral histories of the Holocaust given this week by survivors about their experiences.
Study shows estrogen protects users
By United Press International
BOSTON — Birth control pills high in a certain hormone increase blood cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease, while other types of pills seem to protect against heart attacks and strokes, a doctor said yesterday.
progestin is the predominant hormone in favor of pills high in estrogen.
Doctors said women should stay away from oral contraceptives in which
"If one pill is as effective as another in preventing pregnancies, you may as well go on the one that has a mixture of hormones that don't have adverse effects and that may have a beneficial effect," said Basil Rifkin, physician at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.
women taking estrogen after menopause and 1,086 women taking no hormones were reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.
THE RESULTS OF THE nationwide study of 737 women taking the pill, 294
The study also showed that nonmenstruating women who took estrogen also had significantly lower levels of harmful cholesterol and increased amounts of a type of cholesterol that protects against heart disease.
