$175 Application forms may be obtained groups calling for a hall of nuclear testing at Rainier Mesa at the Nevada Test Site have strengthened their position with the election of more western congressmen opposed to the testing Prior to the elections last week former Sen Frank E Moss antijoined with the Downwinders nuclear group and Citizen Alert of Howard in asking Reps Nevada Reid and Harry Nielson for a thorough investigation of a nuclear testing accident last April Steve Erickson of to According Downwinders Rep Reid said that if elected to the Senate as he was last week he would push for the investigaReid defeated his Republican tion challenger Jim Santini in the race to take over the Senate position vacated by the retiring Senator Paul Laxalt In addition to that good news for the interests was the election of to occupy the Wayne Owens seat vacated by Dave Monson this year Owens campaigned heavily on the issue claiming if elected he would fight hard to stop an alleged practice of nuclear testing ‘‘when the wind blows towards Utah" Owens said in a TV ad that through accidental and planned venting after the shots more radiation has drifted over Utah— albeit a small amount at a time— than was released during the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster in the Soviet Union this year testing protesters are also hoping that Utah Rep Nielson will back their effort to investigate the Rainier Mesa testing problems since he on sits on the House energy Conservation and Power which Nielson could oversees the testing readily ask the committee chairman for a hearing on the issue The most recent underground nuclear test in question occurred April 10 and required intentional venting of xeon gas that drifted radioactive beyond test site holders is presiwho Moss Senator Tornier dent of Utahns United Against the nuclear Arms Race said in an Oct 28 press conference that the April 10 test code named Mighty Oak is the latest evidence of problems at the Rainier Mesa location Of 51 tests conducted at the Rainier 13 Mesa tunnel complex since 1963 sent radiation past site boundaries said Mr Lrickson He said geologic faults allow the radiation to leak from the facilities underground six Mighty Oak was detonated rickson said months ago but Mr ters asking for Congressional support are going out now because previous quests for action have gone nowhere The next test named Middle Note is scheduled but Mr for December Moss said he hopes Congress will postpone testing until the safety of the Nevada Test Site is examined Preston Director Downwinders Truman said Congress should determine why the Department of Energy "covered up” the accident for three weeks instead of releasing information said Las Vegas Mr Erickson reporters claim the Environmental Protection Agency has prepared an how much showing repot radioactivity left the test site but it has not been made public Besides he said "that doesn't go nearly far enough The adequacy of radiation monitoring and safety at the test site needs to be checked carefully" DOE officials have publically stated that they do not know exactly what went wrong in the tunnel and have admitted that radiation went places in the underground tunnels that it shouldn't have has The Reagan Administration justified the need for underground of testing on the basis that modem nuclear weapons designs are faulty and need constant testing to make sure they wotk Scientists working on cut rent bomb designs say these claims are unfounded and hide the real reason why President Reagan wants continued testing the "Star Wars" defense plan which is a highly idea to blast incoming theoretical nuclear bombs with a generated laser beam Hunters comply with new laws but small buck kills increase Changes in the 1986 big
