Swedish study considers burial of nuclear waste at Stripa mine
Swedish State Power Board and US ERDA fund a 2 year 6.2 million field study at Stripa mine to test heat effects on granite rock from buried radioactive wastes. Berkeley and Swedish experts install heaters in bore holes 12 000 feet deep to monitor rock movement and groundwater flow for potential deep underground storage.

Soviet rush to nuclear power seen as strategic move
Moscow reports highlight Soviet plans to start 10 new reactors by 1980 and double commissioning by 1985, while official coverage omits Western protests over nuclear safety. Critics like Pyotr Kapitsa warned of waste disposal and plutonium dangers, urging reactors away from populations. The east bears 80 percent of energy demand with only a quarter of fuel resources domestically.
