Two FBI agents allegedly abducted a member of a radical New Left to disrupt antiwar activity. The victim, unaware of the kidnapping, would likely believe his captors were radicals.

TVA to load uranium fuel into Reactor 2 at Browns Ferry
TVA technicians will load uranium fuel into Reactor 2, a three week process. NRC officials say a license for Unit 2 will not be issued until TVA requests it, with unit 3 preparation complete and ready to file for a license. A fuel loading permit for Unit 2 was issued last weekend, but operation requires a later license for Units 1 and 2. Fuel loading for Unit 1 is expected mid July. Browns Ferry has been idle since a March 22, 1975 fire. A licensing hearing for operation of Units 1 and 2 is planned for mid July in Huntsville or Decatur, date and site to be determined.
