The United States grants Gerry Adams a visa waiver to attend a Northern Ireland peace conference amid efforts to end decades of violence. President Clinton and Secretary of State Warren Christopher supported the move, linking it to the December 15 joint declaration by John Major and Albert Reynolds and urging Sinn Fein and the IRA to renounce violence to enable all party talks.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researcher Alexander Sich says the 1986 Chernobyl core meltdown released up to four to five times more radioactivity than official estimates. He spent 18 months studying ruins and concludes helicopters failed to smother the molten core, which burned for 10 days and left 180 tons of partially burned fuel at the site near Kiev.
