Gorbachev signals end of weapon-grade uranium production
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev announced in London that the Soviet Union will cease production of enriched weapon-grade uranium this year and shut two plutonium reactors without replacements. He warned NATO against modernizing its nuclear forces in Europe, saying the plan would hinder security and Vienna talks. A Western analyst called the move a goodwill gesture with limited immediate effect on the arsenal. Gorbachev reiterated a goal to eliminate all nuclear weapons, urging Thatcher to press Washington to revive superpower arms talks amid stalled discussions.

Oil spill from tanker wreck cripples Prince William Sound region
Federal and state officials blamed crew intoxication for a shipwreck that left the vessel rudderless near a reef. Oil spread across 2,600 square miles from Prince William Sound into the Gulf of Alaska, threatening wildlife and a fish hatchery at Sawmill Bay. Thousands of seabirds and sea otters have died or been damaged, and authorities urged Exxon to intensify cleanup efforts amid ongoing containment battles at Port San Juan.

Weather Across Heartland Faces Showers And Heat Wave
Showers and thunderstorms moved through the nation’s heartland while Southern California braced for a record heat wave. Widespread precipitation stretched from the southern Appalachians to the deep South and into the lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys. Thunderstorm winds toppled a house awning near Oxford Mississippi and caused power outages in New Albany. Flood watches were issued for Maine and New Hampshire, with a Kennebec River flood warning as crest nears above flood stage in Augusta. Eastern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota saw significant river flooding, while Southern California endured a third straight day of record heat, taxing power grids and prompting early school dismissals as downtown Los Angeles logged 106 F.
