(AP) - A steam tube ruptured at the
Prairie Island nuclear generating plant
today, allowing radioactive steam to
escape into the atmosphere for up to 27
minutes, but there was no immediate
danger, an aide to Minnesota Gov. Al
Quie said.
Quie aide Bob Anderson said in St.
Paul that Northern States Power Co.
engineers at the plant near Red Wing
first detected the leak at 2:14 p.m. in
one of two 52-megawatt nuclear
generators at Prairie Island.
Anderson said the generator was shut
down at 2:24 p.m. A general emergency
was declared at the plant at 2:30 p.m.
and plant .personnel were evacuated,
Anderson said.
THE PROBLEM was isolated at 2:41
p.m. and the release of radioactivity
was stopped at that time, Anderson
said.
Anderson said the State Emergency
Services Division and the governor
were informed of the accident at 2:32
p.m.
"It's not dangerous from all that we
can determine from monitoring," said
Quie. "We find no detectable radiation
in the air outside the plant."
TWO TEAMS of state health depar-
tment inspectors were immediately
dispatched to the scene to begin
measuring radioactivity in the air, said
Anderson. A five-member Nuclear
Regulatory Commission team also was
dispatched to the scene by chartered
airplane from Chicago, said an NRC
spokesman.
Anderson said monitoring teams
were measuring radioactivity in the air
at two- and three-mile intervals -rom
the plant site, which is about six miles
northwest of the Red Wing business
district and 28 miles southeast of Min-
neapolis-St. Paul.
First reports from one test taken two
to three miles south-southwest of the
plant indicated no radiation, said An-
derson. "All readings were non-
detectable," he said, "the same as on a
normal day."
R. S. LEDDICK, nuclear projects
manager for NSP, which operates the
Prairie Island plant, said, "It's not a
dangerous situation."
Leddick said a steam tube, one of
hundreds in the steam generator, rup-
tured in Unit One. The rupture allowed
primary radioactive water to pass into
a non-radioactive secondary system,
said Leddick. From the secondary
system, he added, radioactive water
was emitted into the atmosphereas
steam.
Ed Watzl, superintendent of
engineering and radiation protection at
the Prairie Island plant, said the break
was a small one. Watzl told Associated
Press editors last month at their fall
meeting -in Red Wing that recent
procedural changes at the Prairie
Island plant had reduced what he called
the ".already remote likelihood" of -a
nuclear accident at the plant.
"YOU CAN'T be sure an accident will
never happen," said Watzl. But he said
that because of differences in plant
operation and equipment, it was very
unlikely that a nuclear accident such as
that at Three Mile Island in Pens
nsylvania earlier this year would occur
at Prairie Island.

Many University administrators say
they have reservations about the newly-
created Department of Education and
fear the agency may lead to more cen-
tralized federal control of education.
The bill, approved by the U.S. House
of Representatives last Thursday,,
places most federal education
programs under a single department.
Proponents of the measure say the new
agency will give education a higher
priority in the federal government.
THE UNIVERSITY and many other
colleges, however, have traditionally
been against a separate department of
education, citing fears of more federal
control, more bureaucracy, and less
community input into education.
University Interim President Alan
Smith said he had written several letters
to Washington against the proposed
department. "I don't think support (for
the University) will be enhanced by the
new Department of Education," he
said. Smith added that he is concerned
federal control may extend into
elementary and secondary schools un-
der the new agency.
Wilbur Cohen, University Education
professor and former secretary of the
Department of Health, Eduction and
Welfare (HEW) said he hopes the new
department won't have an adverse ef-
fect on higher education. He said he is
worried that elementary and secondary
education concerns will dominate the
new department, and hopes higher-
education will be given a "fair break."
WITH EDUCATION removed from
HEW, Cohen said he is concerned the
new department will be dominated by
educators and will lack input from
other areas.
According to University officials, the
person chosen to head the new depar-
tment will be crucial to its success.
Cohen cited the leadership problems of
the Department of Energy-another
department created during President
Carter's term.
If the person selected to head the
agency is "strongly for education," the
department could be advantageous to
higher education, said School of
Education Dean JoansStark. She said
she was in Washington last week when
the House approved the bill and the
mood was "enthusiastic."
BOTH THOSE for and against the
department decided to "work togetfier
and make it work," she said. But Stark
added that, "Federal control. of
education is so great now, that it (the
department) is not going to make much
difference."
U.S. Representative Carl Pursell (R-
Plymouth) voted in favor of the depar-
tment. He said he is "satisfied there is
strong language in the bill to include
local control,"and said he hopes a
separate department will provide bet-
ter visability for scholarship and grAnt
proposals.

Although LSA graduate.student.

teaching courses above the 300-level
next fall, 11 exceptions to the rule were
approved yesterday by the LSA
Curriculum Committee.
Approval was. granted to four
programming-language courses in
Computer and Communication Scien-
ces; four Hebrew courses; Eand
Linguistics 301 (Elementary Thai) and
303 (Elementary Indonesian).
In addition, English 325 (Inter-
mediate Exposition) was approved,
with the stipulations that suggestions
would be made to the department that
TAs receive stronger faculty super-
vision, and that the committee be kept
informed on the course'sprogress.'
The exemptions were allowed
because they are introductory courses,
with upper-level numbers, according
to committee members.
Last February, the LSA Executive
Committee approved a policy
prohibiting TA-taught courses at the
300-level or above. The policy met with
strong opposition from various groups,
including the Graduate Employees
Organization, which claimed the policy
would interfere with a lawsuit the group

filed against the University concerning
the employement status of TAs.
Also, many department chairpersons
said they feared they would have to cut
some of their upper-level courses'to
comply with the policy.
Other courses will be considered for
the exemption next week by the
Curriculum Committee.
