But a local steel strike possibly could alter the timetable The new construction includes three Noranda reactor furnaces, a 1,200-fosmokestack, an acid plant and computerized emission control system It is expected to substantially clean up emissions from the smelter Everything is still expected to be in full operation by the end of July 1977, a deadline dictated by the Clean Air Act We have two reactor (furnace! shells sitting in place, theyre just the steel cylinders for the reactor furnaces on their trumons 'pivots), said J.

This relieves any stresses that are created by the welding of the huge segments, England said A second reactor is being prepared for stress relieving, which should take place w ithin the next two weeks The third reactor has yet to be assembled. The three sections are here, but workers are waiting for a necessary part, a "riding ring, to arrive.

The bureau reported that the w hite girl baby was born m Salt Lake hospital in March 1976, weighing 6 pounds 3 12 ounces She has cataracts and congenital heart disease The mother had suffered from an influenza-lik- e illness with fever and rash during the first trimester of pregnancy, and had not received a test for immunity to rubella before pregnancy. The bureau warned that such birth defects are preventable. All children should be immunized at one year of age with live rubella virus vaccine, and the vaccine should also be used for adolescent girls and women on an individual basis if tests indicate they are susceptible, officials said construction d program, if prolonged, he admitted man said it was the BLM that was delaying the clearance. But a source close to the investigation told UPI numerous tests on the animals found signs of dehydration and evidence strongly suggested that the mustangs died of a combination of hot weather, stress and lack of water Temperatures have hovered near 100 degrees in Utah for the past two weeks Another factor may have been the reluctance of the wild horses to drink from metal water troughs Because the horses had shown a preference for drinking from seeps at Orr Spnngs, the BLM less than two months ago installed a pipe and water troughs at the spnngs. No evidence of chemical poisoning or disease was found The Army at one time conducted open air testing of both chemical and biological agents But the open air tests were banned in 19()9 after the deaths of several thousand sheep on rangeland near the base The Army never admitted killing the animals but paid for 4.900 of them.

When will the new smokestack, reputedly the second highest in the Western Hemisphere, be put into use? When we start up the first reactor well be using the new stack for certain Thats the only place we have to dispose of the new reactor gases, England explained. This should be in May 1977 The second reactor will likely be fired up in May or June that year. The last one will be put on line by the end of July, 1977, but only if it's needed by then. It coula serve as a back-u- p reactor, with furnace running for about 90 days and then briefly retired for maintenance while another takes over. The entire job will not be completed there will by the July 1977 deadline still be grading of roads, asphalt paving and installation painting to be done.
