Kemp accuses Soviets of cheating on treaty The Michigan Daily-Wednesday, January 6, 1988- Page 7 Officials plan to restart Fermi II nuclear plant WASHINGTON (AP)- Repub- lican presidential aspirant Jack Kemp accused the Soviet Union yesterday of cheating on the treaty to ban in- termediate-range nuclear missiles "even before the ink is dry." In a letter to Secretary of State George Shultz, the New York rep- resentative said the Soviets had sent a forged photograph of the SS-20 missile to be outlawed under the agreement. He also accused the Soviets of providing inaccurate information about the size and location of their nuclear forces. A congressional source, who demanded anonymity, said the Soviets "during the last month of negotiations gave us four different numbers for the SS-20s they had deployed." Kemp said "these reported Soviet actions are a direct affront and a challenge to the declared arms con- trol policy of President Reagan." He urged Shultz to respond to the " serious concerns" raised in the two- page letter. Kemp said the photograph turned over to U.S. Ambassador Jack Mat- lock in Moscow on Dec. 22 "indicated apparent major discrepan- cies" with the SS-20 missile. Kemp did not elaborate. But the congressional source told the Asso- ciated Press the Soviets either had photographed a mockup of the mis- sile or substituted a part from the SS-16 or some other missile for the third stage of the SS-20. That is the stage that carries the nuclear warhead. He said the third stage depicted in the photograph was too narrow to carry three warheads of the size the United States knows the SS-20 war- heads are. "The intelligence community is in enormous consternation right now," he said. Reaganand General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev signed the treaty last month at their Washington summit. It was not clear whether MONROE, Mich. (AP) - De- troit Edison officials continued pre- parations yesterday to restart the Fermi II nuclear power plant as fed- eral inspectors considered a request to step up operations at the plant. De- troit Edison officials said they hoped to restart the idle plant later in the week. A decision by the Nuclear Regu- latory Commission on a request by Edison to test the plant at more than 75 per cent capacity also could come this week, said Jan Strasma, an NRC spokesperson in Chicago Strasma said that in addition to the agency's two resident inspectors at the plant, two NRC inspectors would tour the plant yesterday and today to evaluate the request. He said they would check the condition of the plant, which was shut down automatically last Thurs- day when a power supply failed dur- ing computer maintenance. They were also checking other items, including plant maintenance programs and whether maintenance backlogs exist. The shutdown came after the utility said it had completed testing at less than 75 percent of capacity and requested approval for testing at higher power. Power will gradually be raised to 90 percent. The Michigan Public Service Commission requires 100 hours of operation at that level be- fore the plant is considered to be in commercial operation. Until then, Detroit Edison, which is paying about $46 million a month in financing costs for the. $4,575 project, cannot begin charg- ing customers for it. The plant received an operating license in 1985, pending testing, but has been plagued by equipment problems and operating errors. In 1987, an employee was fired and four were disciplined after an unexpected rise in reactor water tem- perature during a June 26 shutdown. The NRC fined the utility $75,000 for that incident. A July 31 valve leak caused an automatic shutdown. On Aug 2, the reactor's cooling water level was ac- cidentally lowered, and the -NRC again raised questions about plant operation.

Other hearings will be held by the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees. COLOURING 1Ob \ Schick S pS For advanced good looks RECREATIONAL cldA SPORTS Cellophanes. They're an easy "A".
