Panel finds radiation study of shipyard workers unproductive
A National Research Council panel says studying potential genetic effects from low level radiation on Portsmouth shipyard workers would yield little meaningful data. It cites inadequate study design and limited knowledge of low level radiation effects as reasons to abandon the project. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health had proposed the study to assess cancer risks for workers serving nuclear naval vessels.

Woolco sale called off as losses push closing plan
A Saudi sheik abandoned efforts to acquire Woolworth’s Woolco chain saying advisers showed closing the discount stores would limit losses and let Woolworth focus on core businesses. The 24-store U.S. network will shut next year, with no other bidders known. The move comes amid broader corporate turmoil and alongside race relations activism and boycott debates in St. Louis.
