NRC denies Scott petition to halt Morris nuclear shipments
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission refused the Nebraska attorney general William Scott's request to halt shipments of spent nuclear fuel to General Electric's Morris storage site and denied a new environmental impact study. The NRC said proper steps were taken to convert the plant from reprocessing to storage and rejected labeling Morris storage as long term or high level waste. Eugene Voiland stated the contained spent fuel is well managed and easier to handle than reprocessed fuel.

Board Accepts 18000 For Center School Land Take
Morris District 54 Elementary School Board after a 20 minute executive session voted to accept the transportation department offer of 18000 for a land strip at Center School to be taken when Illinois 47 is widened.

An architect from South Holland, Harold Jacobs, outlined plans for new offices on the gym stage and discussed wall options and costs while detailing six rooms on the stage and the need for air conditioning. Jacobs estimated office remodeling at about 40000 with cost uncertainty.
