Breeder reactor veto may stand

WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress
is likely to sustain President Carter's
veto of a bill authorizing $80 million
for the Clinch River breeder reactor,
congressional sources said yester-
day;
But the veto, Carter's first since
taking office, may not be sufficient to
kill the multi-billion dollar project at
Oak Ridge, Tenn., its backers
claimed.
They noted that the President may
have to take further action, possibly
including a veto of a second bill, to
scuttle the program entirely.
THAT'S BECAUSE Congress is
expected to send Carter another bill
later this month appropriating the
$80 million for the breeder along with
nearly $7 billion for a variety of other
major federal programs.
Critics of the breeder have urged
Carter to veto this bill, too. But to do
so would jeopardize the many other
programs in the bill, including a
measure carrying out the President's
decision to halt production of the Bi
bomber.
In his Saturday veto message,

*'

Carter claimed the Clinch River proj-
ect, on which ground has yet to be
broken, jeopardized his administra-
tion's intention to curb the spread of
nuclear weapons technology.
BREEDER REACTORS trans-
form small quantities of conventional
nuclear fuels - usually uranium -
into large' amounts of plutonium.
This plutonium then can be used in
other reactors to produce electricity
but may be used to fashion crude
nuclear weapons.
Even breeder supporters acknowl-
edged yesterday that it appears
unlikely they can muster the two--
thirds vote in both House and Senate
needed to overturn Carter's veto.
"It would be very difficult," said
Sen. James Sasser (D-Tenn.) "At
this juncture, we haven't decided
what our strategy will be, whether
we will even push for the veto
message to be taken up."
THIRTY-EIGHT senators and 162
House members voted previously
against the project - a big enough
margin to sustain the veto in either,
chamber.

In a related development, the U.S.
Supreme Court agreed yesterday to
decide whether power plant opera-
tors may ever be sued for more than
$560 million in case of a nuclear
accident.
The justices said they will review a
decision by a federal judge in North
Carolina that the liability ceiling ap-
proved by Congress is unconstitu-
tional.
CONGRESS PASSED the Price
Anderson Act in 1957 to help encour-
age private development of nuclear
energy. Several amendments to the
original legislation have upped the
maximum amount of liability facing
nuclear plant owners for a major nu-

clear accident or catastrophe.
U.S. District Judge James McMil-
lan ruled last March that such a limit
denies persons who might be injured
in such a "nuclear incident" their
right to due process and equal pro-
tection of the law.
Justice Department attorneys, ap-
pealing McMillan's ruling for the
federal Nuclear Regulatory Commis-
sion, said it "could stand as a major
impediment to further private devel-
opment of nuclear energy in this
nation."
Because available insurance is in-
adequate, the government said, pow-
er companies would not build plants
if confronted with unlimited liability.

VIENNA, Austria (AP) - The
economic commission of the Organi-
zation of Petroleum Exporting Coun-
tries (OPEC) met here yesterday to
prepare for a ministerial meeting
next month at which the cartel is
expected to again raise the price of
oil, probably by five per cent.
The meeting opened as the authori-
tative Middle East Economic Survey
(MEES) reported "there is no hope"
that the oil exporters will h'eed U.S.
calls for an oil price freeze through
1978.
The oil newsletter said that even
Saudi Arabia, "the most moderate of
the moderates," has declared that
some increase is justified. The
Saudis have led efforts to keep down
the price of oil at recent OPEC
confereces.
THE BASIC price of oil is currently
$12.70 a barrel. Oil ministers of the
13-nation OPEC will be meeting in
Caracas,Venezuela, on Dee. 20 to
decide its prices for .1978 and to

discuss future production levels.
A five per cent increase in the price
of crude would mean an increase of
about 11 cents a gallon at American
pumps. The United States imports
about 40 per cent of its oil from OPEC
Members.
OPEC spokesman Hamid Zaheri
said a review of oil prices was one of
the topics to be discussed at the
week-long preparatory meeting here.
The meeting is being held behind
closed doors.
THE ECONOMIC commission is
only an' advisory body. But it is
expected to - compile evidence that
the sagging dollar and the swelling
cost of imports from industrialized
countries is eating into OPEC oil
,revenues.
The reports of an impending price
hike contrasted with a statement
Sunday by Treasury Secretary Mi-
chael Blumenthal, who said after
returning from visits to Saudi Ara-
bia, Iran and Kuwait that he thought
there was a chance OPEC would not
raise prices for some time.
