KPL Stays Stable Rates as Wolf Creek Bill Moves
Kansas Power & Light seeks a 34 year rate freeze to avoid Wolf Creek bill scrutiny. KCC staff favor keeping $18.5 million of the 1983 increase temporary, with refunds possible, while noting excess capacity and future review in 1987. KPL cites improved earnings from Gas Service Co. acquisition and weather, aiming to reduce risk and preserve customer trust.

Mixed views on fire resistant fuel additive after jetliner crash
A Boeing 720 carrying 73 people crashed at Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert, igniting a massive fire that later subsided. FAA officials said the additive extinguished the initial blaze but failed to stop a later cabin fire. NASA TV audio indicated ongoing trouble suppressing the fire. The test, costing 11.8 million, aimed to prove anti misting kerosene while evaluating new safety features and recorders.
