Ohio plant leaks uranium powder
No danger outside plant, officials say
The Associated Press
CINCINNATI — About 200 pounds of a heavy, radioactive powder containing uranium leaked early yesterday from a rooftop vent at a federally owned uranium-processing plant, officials said.
Contamination from the low-level radioactive substance appeared limited to the immediate area of the building from which it leaked, and monitors found no trace of the substance outside the 1,050-acre Feed Materials Production Center, said spokesman Pete Kelley of Westinghouse Materials Co. of Ohio.
The company is under contract to operate the plant for the U.S. Department of Energy. The plant, 18 miles
northwest of Cincinnati, processes uranium for use in nuclear reactors and weapons.
Officials cordoned off the immediate area. There were no injuries, Kelley said.
Plant officials are investigating the cause of the leak.
Westinghouse classified the incident as an unusual event, which means there is a potential plant safety problem, Kelley said. There was no danger of an off-site radioactive or chemical release. he said.
in the chemical refinery building, residues containing uranium are recycled for eventual reprocessing into uranium metal.
Easier parole unlikely
TOPEKA — The state faces a prison overcrowding crisis, but the Legislature probably won't react by liberalizing the parole system, a state official and chairman of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee said yesterday.
State Sen. Ed Reilly, R-Leavenworth, said his committee probably would discuss endorsing legislation that would allow the Kansas Parole
tough policy limiting the parole of Class A and B felons.
A Class a felony is a crime punishable by death or life imprisonment; a Class b felony is punishable by a minimum jail sentence of five years, said Patrol Officer Eric Johnson of the Lawrence Police Department.

Reilly's committee is scheduled to discuss proposals related to the parole board when it meets today.
