State calls U.S. atom-waste plan a disaster area
California State Energy Commission released an interim 112-page report on nuclear processing and waste disposal, labeling the plan a disaster area. It notes no technology exists for reprocessing or disposal, with Barnwell and a federal repository timetable way behind, delaying new plants beyond 1986. Commissioner Gene Varanini criticizes federal management and predicts possible deferral of nuclear power pending policy or legislative changes. A second report is due in February.
