Studies Add New Smoke To The Fire
Two new studies offer opposite conclusions about whether cigarette smoke harms non-smokers. Wells estimates 31,000 to 46,000 annual non smoker deaths from sidestream smoke, while the Tobacco Institute cites a British study suggesting any risk is minimal. The debate echoes a 1960s dispute and may spur public smoking bans as lawmakers weigh evidence and biases.

Wolf Creek faces $40,000 NRC fine over unbolted drains
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission proposes a $40,000 penalty for leaving storm drain manhole covers unbolted at Wolf Creek nuclear plant. KG&E and NRC spokesmen say no access was gained to restricted areas. Penalty halved for prompt reporting, corrective actions, and clean security record. KG&E and KCPL each hold 47 percent of the plant. KEPCO owns the rest.
