Nuclear Enerqv (Continued from Page 1) of the Battelle Laboratories showed that the smaller the con centration of soil plutonium, the greater the percentage picked up by plant roots. Concentrations of plutonium in roots were much greater than in other parts of the plants, suggesting previously un suspected food contamination dangers to root crops such as potatoes, carrots, beets and on ions. The scientists suggested that previous experiments, which measured concentrations in leaves rather than roots, may have used soil concentrations of NAZIS. TODAY. HERE. A different kind of horror film. ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE _ Plus — “Tkc CMvanatiwi” 8:00 P0 plutonium so high as to injure the plants and thereby inhibit uptake of plutonium from the soil. It had previously been assumed that plutonium does not spread rapidly through the soil because, being relatively insoluble, it is not easily transported by water. Wil dung and Garland's findings chal lenge this assumption in an impor tant way. As roots grow downward they carry with them plutonium picked up near the surface. When they die, their plutonium-laden decay products may be soluble and thus subject to long-range transport. This may explain why an earlier study found that successive clover crops grown in soil con taminated by plutonium fallout be Get tough with your money, you can’t afford not to Re-elect GARY FELDMAN lor I.F.C.

Decaying roots of each crop may add soluble mater ial to the soil that is more easily taken up than is raw plutonium. "With increased production and use of plutonium which will ac company increased world depen dence upon nuclear energy," the two scientists concluded, “it is es sential that the potential for plutonium entrance into the food web at the soil-plant level be as sessed."

Polls draw few voters A possible all-time low of 386 students voted Tuesday in the ASUO primary elections. "I haven't seen a lot of cam paigning, but it could be students are just disinterested,” says Jo Nugent, an election board member, in attempting to explain the low voter turnout. Fellow board member Cindy Eder blamed it on a lack of "blaz ing issues.” The only semi-hot issue, she says, is the election of the Incidental Fee Commit tee (IFC), which controls $1.3 mill ion of student funds. Final polling for the IFC will be held during the general election, narrowing a 14 candidate field. The general election is slated for Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 27 and 28. The whole primary election pro cess so far has been filled with problems. In addition to the low voter turnout, pollworker Dan Garner says that "one guy took all the ballots we gave him and wrote "bullshit" across them.” Also, a vonng Doom was re moved from Carson and Walton dormitories sometime between Monday night and Tuesday morn ing. When asked who took the booth, ASUO Vice-Pres. Jamie Burns said he figured it was “probably just some punks." Physical plant worker John Evans recovered the booth from a dorm patio before the polls opened Tuesday morning.
