Trojan cleared to go back on line
RAINIER (AP) — Inspectors
from the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission reached agreement
with operators of the Trojan
nuclear plant here Monday on
safety improvements, clearing
the way for the plant to resume
operations.
Plant workers planned to
restart the plant early Tuesday
and reach full power produc
tion late this week, said Bill
Babcock, spokesman for
Portland General Electric Co.,
which operates the Rainier
plant.
Six inspectors from the NRC’s
national and regional offices
were sent to the Rainier plant
after three of its safety com
ponents — two pumps and a
generator — failed when the
plant automatically shut down
Thursday when workers in
advertently increased its power
too rapidly.
The pump* provide coolant
for the plant, and the generator
Is one of two that provides elec
tricity during an emergency.
The other generator worked.
Three days before the com
ponents failed, the second of
two radioactive water leaks oc
curred at the plant. Two men
were contaminated in one of the
leaks and had to be cleansed,
but were not seriously injured.
Nobody was contaminated in
the second leak. The leaks were
blamed on fittings that had
three bushings on them instead
of two.
Babcock said PGE agreed to
long-term and short-term pro
grams aimed at ensuring “a
high degree of reliability of safe
ty equipment at Trojan.”
Trojan, Oregon’s only nuclear
power plant, has been idle since
June 27 for refueling.
Bank cannot pay millworkers
PORTLAND (AP) — Oregon
Bank does not own the Mt.
Mazama Plywood Co. mill in
Sutherlin and cannot reimburse
back pay, officials told
picketing workers from the
plant Monday.
The money was owed the
workers when the mill was clos
ed in early August after Oregon
Bank cut off further loans to Mt.
Mazama.
Three suppliers subsequently
filed an involuntary Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition, seeking
nearly $160,000 in debts they
claim are owed.
Oregon Bank President Jim
r
Davis met with representatives
of the 34 unpaid workers after
21 of them picketed the
downtown Portland bank
Monday.
Davis said Oregon Bank
would not be the de facto owner
of the mill until it is sold. In the
meantime, he said, it still
belongs to Mazama Timber Pro
ducts of Creswell.
Worker spokesman Steve
John said the workers are suffer
ing severe financial difficulty.
"I think I’ll call the bank to
come get my old broken-down
wreck,” he said, adding he can
not afford to fix his car.
