Wednesday, April 30, 1986 University Daily Kansan Nation/World 9 Northwest takes steps to prepare for fallout The Associated Press OLYMPIA. Wash. — Gov. Booth Gardner met with health officials, and radiation monitoring was stepped up yesterday as Washington state prepared for the weekend attack, from the Soviet nuclear accident. Expertss said radioactivity from the power plant disaster, expected to appear over the northwestern United States as early as Saturday, probably would pose no health threat in the United States, nor in the Soviet Union outside the immediate area of the disaster. "In time it will get here, there's no question about that." John Wallace, chairman of the University of Washington Department of Atmospheric Science, said, "It could be any time, probably three or four days would be the minimum. In any event it probably wouldn't take more than 24 hours." Kenneth L. Mossman, who directs Georgetown University Medical Center's program in radiation science, said, "There is no question there will be a sizable dilution. There is tremendous mixing in the atmosphere." Charlie Porter, director of the Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility in Montana, Ala., said fallout detection stations in all 50 states would deliver data to his agency, which is an arm of the federal Environmental Protection Agency "We're calling all the station operators and instructing them to begin taking daily samples." Porter said. Daily readings are taken every three days. Porter said the EPA didn't think the cloud would be dangerous. However he said there was no way to prevent it, as the scope of the Soviet accident. Gardner met with officials from Washington state's health, environment and emergency agencies to review steps the state could take if abnormally high radiation levels reach the Northwest. "There is nothing to be worried about in the Northwest at this point, but we will maintain continuous communication with the press of theiera's press aide, Jim Kneelman, said. Filters on radiation monitors at the capital in Olympia, at Spokane and the Hanford nuclear reservation in Eastern Washington were ordered changed once a day instead of the usual once a week, officials said.
