Again, consider the Harvard-Vermont match-up, which will see another renewal in tonight’s playoff opener at Bright. Harvard senior Tim Pettit and sophomore Peter Hafner both played at The Taft School, as did Vermont’s Ben Driver, Tim Plant, Travis Russell and Jaime Sifers...
...past few weeks U.S. regulators have begun processing an application to construct the $1.8 billion plant, which has strong backing from powerful state and federal officials, including Republican Pete Domenici, who is chairman of the Senate Energy Committee. URENCO , an Anglo-Dutch-German consortium, hopes to build in New Mexico as part of Louisiana Energy Services, or LES, an alliance that includes the big American firms Exelon, Duke and Entergy, as well as Cameco, a uranium mining company and Westinghouse, a nuclear fuel manufacturer. If it is built, the plant would produce fuel for nuclear power generation...
...plant?s construction is facing some tough questions in the wake of President Bush's recent call for strict nuclear non-proliferation safeguards, and new revelations from A. Q. Khan, a Pakistani atomic scientist who has admitted passing nuclear design secrets on to Iran, North Korea and Libya. Khan obtained those design secrets, allegedly based on URENCO drawings, after being employed in the 1970's by a subsidiary of a Dutch company that worked closely with URENCO...
...National security sources tell TIME that the New Mexico plant could face closer scrutiny and a more rigorous approval process. "What U.S. technologies might become available to URENCO as a result of its operations here?" asks a senior U.S. national security official. "Given the President's non-proliferation initiative, we will need to go beyond technical aspects of the plant and look at the strategic policy implications." A high-level U.S. nuclear administrator raised nearly identical concerns last year about URENCO/LES plans to build a comparable facility in Tennessee, but those plans were withdrawn by the company...
...this point, however, approval for the New Mexico project rests with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a federal agency which reviews technical aspects such as the reliability of the plant's enrichment equipment, but not national security implications. The review process normally takes about three years, but Senator Domenici has promised to introduce legislation in Congress that would cut that to two years or less. Domenici's proposal would also make approval of the plant more likely by limiting review of the plant's environmental impact, truncating the appeals process for those who object to the plant and allowing...
