A team led by Dr. Ari I'atrimns has begun setting up a high concentration of rain guages and wind measuring devices in an area around Plant liowen, a plant with two 1. t smoke stacks and four natural-draf- t cooling towers. There will be SO rain guages. one every 16 miles, placed wherever they can get landowner permission and read regularly by members of the research group.

"Surgery must either be delayed, or performed using hypothermia techniques," Johnson said " That involves eexding the body by about 17 degrees centigrade to about 20 degrees centigrade, and stopping the blood flow and heart beat during sur- monitoring. He said microwave radiation can more easily determine changes in the lung's water content by using a simple applicator taped to a patient's chest. "And one of the most promising applications could be the use of microwave energy to rewarm newborn babies follow-int surgery," he said.

The theory is that heat and moisture from the cooling towers trigger rain activity when conditions are favorable for precipitation. In the Plant Bowen area, the prevailing winds are from the northwest. That means that southeast of the plant, if the theory holds, there should be an increase in precipitation since the plant went into operation in October 1971, Patnnos said data already obtained from the weather service shows rain-tal- l immediately southeast of the plant has increased above the historical norm since the plant began operation Another concern is with the violence of storms in the area It could be. he said, that storm activity becomes more violent as a result of the triggering mechanism from the plant's emissions. t open-hear- areas water And. says Patrimos, there are indications of increases in rainfall downwind of the plant since the facility went into opeiation in 1971.
