Gov't. seeks nuclear wastes sites
'IT'
1.111
IT'S GETTING TOO EXPENSIVE TO
HAVE A BAD HAIRCUT.
WASHINGTON (AP)-With two of
country's three low-level nuclear waste
dumps closed, the government is plan-
ning to ask governors to provide tem-
porary storage sites for radioactive
waste produced in their own states, of-
ficials said yesterday. -
That could mean establishment of
temporary storage sites in at least a
dozen states in which nearly 7 per cent
of the country's low-level nuclear waste
is produced.
TWO OF THE three U.S. sites for
disposal of nuclear waste were closed
this month. A dump in Washington state
was closed because improperly
packaged wastes were being delivered
to the site. Another site, in Nevada, was
closed after radioactive waste was'
discovered outside dump boundaries.
The third site, in South Carolina,
remained open yesterday, butofficials'
said none of the wastes that would nor-
mally go to Nevada 'or Washington
could be sent there.
Government officials and spokesmen
for the medical community have said
hospitals, research facilities and some
nuclear power plants will face serious
problems within weeks because they
will have nowhere to ship their radioac-
tive wastes.
In an attempt to head off that
problem; the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission and the Energy Depar-
tment will urge governors in the states
where the wastes are produced to
establish interim above-ground storage
facilities, administration officials say.
ASKED HOW hard the NRC would
push the governors to adopt such a
plan, NRC spokesman Frank Ingram
said: "To the extent that we can. We
can't order them to do it."
Richard Cunningham, whose NRC of-
fice licesnses operations that produce
low-level nuclear wastes, said the
proposal to get states to provide tem-
porary storage was discussed Wed-
nesday at a hastily called meeting of
federal officials and others involved in
the issue.
A spokesman for the National Gover-
nor's Association, which also had g
representative at the meeting, saiq
such a plan was sure to provoke con-
troversy and that some governors and',.;
state legislators would oppose it.
"WE RECOGNIZE the wastes havq,
to be put somewheretbut you can't
leave it up to the 50 governors," said
Joe McLaughlin of the governor's
association.
Meanwhile, Govs. Dixy Lee Ray of
Washington and Robert List of Nevada
were described by federal officials as
remaining adament in keeping the,,
waste dumps in their states shut until A,
national policy is worked out.
South Carolina Gov. Dick Riley, who.
barred any of the wastes from being
diverted from Washington and Nevada
to his state, said the amount of material
now moving into the South Carolina
dump will be cut next week. ,

NEW YORK (AP) - The deposed,
shah of Iran's cancer is spreading
rapidly, his doctors said yesterday, and
he should stay in the United States for
treatment for up to a year.
Dr. Hibbard Williams said of Shah
Mohammad IFteza Pahlavi, who under-
went gallbladder surgery here, "a
potential for recovery does exist."
THE SHAH, who marks his 60th bir-
thday Friday, has cancer of the lymph
glands which has spread throughout his
lymphatic system but does not involve
other organs, his doctors said at a news
conference.
The disease will be treated with

chemotherapy. The doctors said the,
treatments assure the former monarch
of a 60-to-70 per cent chance for "longte
term survival" - several years or,
more. :
The doctors indicated the cancer, fir-
st diagnosed six years ago as chronic!
lymphatic leukemia, had becomea
histiocytic lymphoma, 'which is more
difficult to treat.
WILLIAMS, physician-in-charge at,
New York 'Hospital-Cornell Medical;
Center, said the shah was making asp!
"excellent" recovery from thel
gallbladder surgery Wednesday.
Asked how Pahlavi had taken the
word of the sudden spread of the cane;
cer, Williams said, "With style." -
"We expect an uneventful two on.:
three week recovery period, after
which the shah will begin
chemotherapy treatments" in theft
hospital, Williams said. "It is a veryy
serious disorder but again, there is
some potential for recovery.
Dr. John T. Ellis, chairman of the
hospital's pathology department, said,
there was no evidence the cancer had
spread to the shah's liver or gallblad-
der.
