Nuclear mishap gets mixed local response Tanzania nears, conquest of Uganda (Continued from gage 1) safety systems in all nuclear plants," PIRGIM claimed in the statement. PIRGIM contends that the "defense in depth" systems, which safeguard most nuclear power plants, have never been adequately tested, that engineers have discovered flaws in designs for many of these systems, and that human error could lead to serious accidents. "IF THEY (nuclear power plants) operated the way the industry says they should, the Harrisburg accident should not have happened," the statement concluded. Nuclear Engineering chairman King, who spent 20 years as nuclear engineer, said he has never before heard of a serious accident at a nuclear power plant. Accidents "have a way of hitting the headlines, but the effects way down the line tends to be forgotten, because they are negligible," he said. Fear of science is "an old story," King said. "People are going to be frightened," he admitted. CITING HIS ROLE as a scientist, King refused to comment on the severity of the Three Mile Island ac- cident. However, he said, "If there was a number quoted (in the press) for radiation released into the atmosphere, if I changed this number down by a thousand, it would still bother the public." Nuclear power should be evaluated in the same way other applications of science are evaluated, according to' King. Just as there is risk in driving a car, he said, nuclear power has its risks. It's not a question of whether there is a risk, but rather how much risk the public is willing to accept, King added. DAVE DEVARTI, who is a member of the anti-nuclear power group, the Detroit Edison Shareholders Initiative, said that the economics of nuclear power provide arguments against building plants as much as safety con- cerns do. He estimated that the $1 billion Three Mile Island plant could be closed for years. NAIROBI, Kenya (Reuter)-Panic gripped the besieged Ugandan capital of Kampala yesterday as heavy gunfire intensified in and around the city, residents and refugees reported. People who fled the city told repor-, ters at the Kenyan border that Ugandan soldiers were joining the thousands of civilians now in flight from Kampala. IN TANZANIA, the newly formed Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF) said Kampala and nearby En- tebbe international airport were now at the mercy of its forces seeking to over- throw President Idi Amin. The rebel organization said President Amin was himself fleeing north from the capital with convoys of troops still loyal to him. Kampala residents reached by telephone said they had locked them- selves into the basements of their houses as shelling and small arms fire grew heavier in the city and it suburbs. IN THE TANZANIAN capital of Uar es Salaam, a UNLF spokesman said: "Kampala would and will fall into our hands at our will. We are giving enough time for innocent citizens and foreigners to leave Kampala." At the Kenyan border town of Malaba, refugees crossing into Kenya said the road out of the capital were full of civilians carrying their belongings or. pushing carts holding their children and possessions.
