Radioactive debris makes quiet train trip across state
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A second trainload of spent radioactive fuel and debris from the crippled Three Mile Island nuclear power plant made its way across Kansas late last night without protest or trouble, state officials said.
Col. Bert Cantwell, superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol, confirmed the train had entered the state yesterday afternoon. Leon Mannell, administrator of radiological systems for the emergency preparedness office, said federal regulation prohibited him from discussing the train's movements.
"That's classified information," Mannell said. "I can neither confirm nor deny any report until after the fact."
The four-car train carried the shipment of debris from the power plant near Harrisburg, Pa. It crossed Kansas on its way to an Idaho test site. The first of a possible 40 shipments scheduled in the next 30 months made its way across country on July 22 and 23.
The train rolled through Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, Marysville and Hanover as it headed for the Nebraska state line at the midway point of its journey. It was expected to take about four hours to cross a 150-mile stretch along the northeast corner of Kansas.
"Everything is rolling smooth across the nation." Mannell said "Interest in the train seems to have died down. The shipments are becoming routine."
The radioactive payload is headed for the National Engineering Laboratory about 50 miles from Idaho Falls, Idaho, where it will be tested and stored. The spent fuel and debris came from Three Mile Island Unit 2 which overheated and began to melt during a March 1979 accident.
The U.S. Department of Energy has contracted with GPU Nuclear Corp., the Three Mile Island operator, to move the fuel, which will be used in tests before being disposed.
Each shipment consists of one rail car carrying seven canisters of the fuel and metal debris.

Burning the midnight oil may be necessary.
Burning the 2:00 or 3:00 or 4:00 AM oil is absurd.
Especially when an HP calculator can get the answers you want - in time to get a good night's sleep.
For instance, our HP-15C Professional Scientific Calculator has more built-in advanced math and statistical power than any other calculator. Our HP-41 Advanced Scientific Calculators have even more potential.
There's even a special plug-in software package (we call it the Advantage Module) that's designed to handle the specific problems an engineering student has to solve in his, or her, course work.
That's because there are better than 2500 software packages available for them - more than for any other calculator.
No wonder professionals in engineering and the physical sciences widely regard HP calculators as the best you can get.
So check one out. Then, when your mother calls to ask if you're getting growth sleep, you won't have to lie.
getting enough sleep, you won't have to leave.
By the way, if you want more information, just give us a call
