Phinney resigns
Schain may fill IFC post
Sheila Scham, a junior major
ing in business, was nominated
Monday by ASUO Pres. 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.

Weak tubes
endanger
nuke plants
WASHINGTON (AP) - Weak
steam generator tubes in 40
commercial nuclear units are
“virtually impossible" to fix and
are causing higher operating
costs and radiation exposure
for plant personnel, according
to a Nuclear Regulatory Com
mission staff report.
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
