The mock designed to test the cooling system in an Idaho National Engineering Laboratory reactor, was the first since the Three Mile Island accident March 28 It involved the double-ende- d break of a main pipe in a reactor's pressurized water cooling system. The cooling system was ruptured intentionally, accompanied by a roar of steam and water. Seconds later, the temperature of the nuclear fuel rods shot from about 600 degrees Farenheit to 1,100 degrees. Dr. Tomas Morley of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the late-nigtest was "very important to the federal government and for the nuclear industry as a whole." He called it "an obvious success ' because temperatures did not rise to a dangerous level. Computer readings had predicted the temperature would hit 1,360 degrees before an emergency backup system would bring it under control. Federal licensing rules require an emergency cooling system to limit the temperature during such an emergency to n . were closings reported in Chicago.

Mike Draper, 19, and Kim Ogden, 26, were being held in the Sevier County Jail on $10,000 bond each following their arrests Sunday. Police said one man was arrested in Hall's Drug Store and a second man was picked up in a parked car nearby. The first suspect was carrying a quantity of morphine and other drugs. Officers said a second drug store, Dyches Pharmacy, had been broken into earlier Sunday. arrested - IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (UPI) Officials in Idaho Falls say Saturday night's simulated nuclear acci- - every-other-da- y odd-eve- Lynda Robb Tells Plans For U.S. Women's Panel 2,700 Some 200 degrees. scientists and officials witnessing the mock disaster cheered in the observation room of the Loss of Fluid Test facility as water rushed into the reactor, cooling it back to normal temperatures. One official described it as a "super test" while another called it "outstanding." The test was scaled to what would be expected if 3uch an accident were to happen in a commercial plant. Results will be taken by the NRC and used to help determine safety standards. Critics of the LOFT program have said the tests do not accurately simulate a loss-o- f coolant emergency ln a commercial reactor. -- WASHINGTON (UPI) Lynda Johnson Robb says women "don't want to be put in boxes" and she hopes ihe presidential committee to which she just was iuuiitni to head can find mere options for today's woman. Mrs. Robb, who will become chairwoman of the President's Advisory Committee for Women, acknowledged a lack of experience in feminist activism and a difference in style from her outspoken predecessor, former Democratic Rep. Bella Abzug of New York. ! But the daughter of former President Lyndon B. Johnson and wife of Virginia Lt. Gov. Charles Robb said she is prepared. "What won.en are talking about is more options," she said. "They don't want to be put into boxes. I hope and believe the committee can play a role in this. We have been talking and believe we can make a difference." She said she "is more liberal in the area of human rights" than in other political area" When Present Carter's office last week announced Mrs. Robb's appointment to lead the nation's chief panel on the problems of American women, some persons, particularly longtime feminist activists, questioned her qualifications to succeed Mrs. Abzug. "We're all trying to work for the betterment of women," Mrs. Robb said. "I am not Bella Abzug. I bring a different background to the job." She also said her more subdued ap- - LYNDA JOHNSON ROBB proach should not be compared disparagingly to Mrs Abzug's outspoken manner. "That's my way. We all do things our own ways," she said. "In the area of human rights, I have always tried to hold meetings and to educate, rather than hold press conferences." Mrs. Robb said Carter, when he discussed the committee post with her last Monday, did not talk much about her politics or the work of the committee. Nor was she asked to recommend persons for vacancies on the committee, she said. mm liUIHrailJIHiiUIliWJJIILII Weather Covers U.S. By United Press Inter- national Blistering readings baked Southern California, packing the beaches throughout the Mother's Day weekend.
