Rich Wilkins to fill a vacant Incidental Fee Committee post Schain, who will be inter viewed Wednesday for confir mation by the Student Universi ty Affairs Board, was nominated to fill a position left vacant by Katcha Phinney. Phinney. a junior majoring in fine arts this year, resigned from the IFC and withdrew from the University for health reasons at the end of winter term on the advice of her physician. IFC Chairer Karsten Rasmus sen says Phinney was a "main stay” of the committee and that her hard work will be missed. Schain says she doesn't ex pect to have opinions much dif ferent from current IFC members and that she wants to help the Committee continue tor the rest of its term in the same vein as it has been. "They've been a good IFC and I want to carry that on." Schain says, adding that the IFC has been fair in funding student programs tor the 1982-83 year in light of budget constraints. She says she thinks her ex perience as director of the Jewish Student Union will be an added "insight'' on the commit tee but emphasizes that her viewpoint will not be much dif ferent from the other current members The position will be a good experience for her and will be "a good opportunity for me to get familiar with the process." Schain says Wilkins says he nominated Schain to the committee because of her "experience, involvement, and knowledge of the process because of being a program director." Schain was highly recom mended to him. Wilkins adds. Rasmussen says he has no comment on Schain's nomina tion in lieu of talking with Schain. .

The report, dated February 1982. says the tube problem in more than half the nation's nu clear units also is responsible for about 23 percent of nuclear plant shutdowns that are un related to scheduled refueling The report raises the pos sibility — characterized as an "extremely low probability" — that tube ruptures in more than one generator at a plant could cause inadequate cooling of the radioactive core, which could lead to melting of the uranium fuel Tubes are used only in pres surized water reactors, or PWRs which have from two to four steam generators with 3,000 to 15.000 tubes each Another NRC study based on 1981 data reported tube de gradation in 27 of the 47 licensed PWRs. but the new report states the confirmed number is now at least 40." The nation's 25 other nuclear plants use boiling water reac tors, which do not have steam generator tubes. The report notes that faulty tubes have plagued the industry since the earty 1970s and are “due to a combination of steam generator mechanical design, thermal hydraulics, materials selection, fabrication tech niques and secondary system design and operation." Several accident scenarios, such as multiple tube failures and complications like the valve that stuck after a tube rupture Jan 25 at the Ginna plant near Rochester, N Y, "have not yet been rigorously studied." ac cording to the report "There is a great deal of at tention and sensitivity being paid to steam generator tube leakage and degradation," Robert Szalay, vice president for the Atomic Industrial Forum, an industry group, said Tues day ”1 don’t see that ttiere is any serious threat to the public in the near term However, there is need for attention to be given to this issue — and it is being given," Szalay said, adding that more than $50 million is being spent by the industry on tube degradation research r“ Hours 11:00-6:00 “The Best Fries In Town” FREE on Wednesday purchase of $1.75 Hot Dog Order or $2.00 Hamburger order.
