Se Uo NUCLEAR POWER There are no nucle- ar power plants in West Virginia, but nearby Pennsylvania has seven operating reactors and two ad- ditional reactors un- der construction. The NRC estimates there is a 45 percent chance that another accident as bad or worse than Three Mile Island, in the next 20 years, but other experts dispute this reasoning. How do FSC stu- dents feel the Cher- nobyl incident will af- fect U.S. nuclear op- erations? It has brought a scary awareness to the U.S. public - Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, agreed Jon Laughlin, sopho- more civil engineer- ing major. Nuclear power will eventually be the way of the future. The U.S. is moving into new technology that will eventually make it safer and convince people of this, said Ed Goss, senior civil engineer- ing major. Education profes- sor, Patricia Haught optimistically agreed that nuclear power would continue to ad- vance. Illustrating the damage, a photo of the Chernobyl reactor was broadcast on Soviet televisio. Moni- tored on CNN in New York, a portion of the photo (right) was en- hanced to clarify the damage.
