Unsafe nuclear waste sites spark controversy in Brazil
The Associated Press
ANGRA DOS REIS, Brazil — The radiation poisoning of more than 200 Brasilians has raised serious questions about the government's ability to control its ambitious nuclear program, which includes the technology for atomic weapons.
Brazil has one atomic power plant on line and two more planned. But it has no site for safely disposing of
nuclear waste.
Last month's poisoning of 243 people in the central city of Goiaiana occurred just one month after President Jose Sarney proudly announced that Brazil had mastered the technique of enriching uranium, a necessary step in building an atomic bomb.

Saturday with Donn Parson, KU director of forensics, who left for Tennessee after hearing of the accident.
According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Voigt was driving the 12-passenger, University-owned van east on Interstate 24, a few miles south of the Kentucky border, at 10:20 p.m. when he swerved to avoid a deer in the road.
The van ran onto the shoulder of the highway and struck soft gravel. It rolled three times and landed in an upright position, highway patrol spokesman Paula Fulkerson said.
Macdonald, Hall and Fritch were ejected from the vehicle. All three
were airlifted to the Vanderbilt Medical Center.
"I don't remember much," Stanfield said Friday from her hospital room. "A deer ran out in front of us. I don't really remember swerving or anything."
Voight and Stanfield were the only passengers wearing seat belts, Fulkerson said. Stanfield was the front-seat passenger.
Macdonald was sitting on the right side of the in the fourth row, Fulkerson said.
The passengers in the van made up three two-member teams of debaters, each with a coach, Voight, Stanfield and Fritch were the coaches on the trip and were the only ones on the trip allowed to drive, said Erik Doxtader, president of the KU debate squad.
According to Doxtader, the accident was the first involving a debate team from KU in more than 25 years. Debate teams from KU average 35 to 40 trips a year.
KU is continuing to host about 50 teams in its fall debate tournament, which began Saturday and runs until Sept. 18, when withdrew its teams, Doxtaker said.
Cards
The KU debate squad has 26 members.

"The Donruss and Fleer sets come pre-sorted." Dolezal said, referring to two companies that print major sets of cards each year. "But I have to sort all of the Topps sets myself."
Sorting a set involves putting more than 700 cards in numerical order.
Dolezal has a fairly regular group of customers. He often greets them from the front table.
"1985," Dolezal informs him. "They're hard to believe."
"Do you believe those Twins?" a customer asks. "Hey, what year is Kirby Puckett's rookie card?"
Dolezal discusses the recent American League Championship Series with the customer, who decides to buy a $15 set of cards.
"You take care now," Dolezal calls as the customer leaves.
Dolezal and Shaffer both regularly travel to card collecting conventions
in the area on weekends, including one recently at the Kansas State Fairgrounds in Hutchinson. About 700 people attended.
Dolezal and Shafer travel to shows in surrounding cities, including Kansas City, Wichita and Springfield, where they right the right to set up a table at the shows.
"I sell more memorabilia at the shows," Dolezal said. "At the shop I sell mainly packs and sets."
Shaffer draws business from the nearby junior high, he said but many
Dolezal said he had found some interest in his shop on the KU campus. Last year he ran an ad in the Kansan offering to buy cards.
"I get kids from KU in here once in awhile," he said. "Around Christmas, I sometimes buy entire collections from kids who need money for
the holidays. They bring their cards back to school after Thanksgiving and look to sell them."
"Most of those people realize how much their collections would be worth today and cringe." Dolezal said.
But for every person he has met who has held onto his cards, Dolezal said he has heard the old story of a girl who was saved by more times than he can remember.
Many people in the hobby now speculate in cards, much like the stock market. Baseball cards could be a solid investment if you have the necessary money and knowledge of the hobby, Dolezal said. But he is quick to point out that collectors are the heart of the hobby.

The fans' love of the game will keep the hobby from becoming a business he said.
