House favors breeder reactor fate clash with Carter plan
The House rejected administration moves to halt the Clinch River breeder reactor at Oak Ridge. By 246 to 162 vote, it defeated amendments to cap next year’s funding at 33 million and to delay construction with a 75 million target, aligning against Carter’s push to kill the $2 billion project.

Quebec Plunged Into Darkness After Transformer Explosion
A transformer blew at a Quebec Labrador border substation cutting power for up to six hours to two thirds of Quebec's six million people. Hydro Quebec sought to restore service by 10 p.m. as Montreal faced traffic jams, flooded streets, and halted flights. Hospitals ran on generators and thousands endured stalled subways and elevators, with uncertainty about the cause.
