Congress Subcommittee to Probe Surry Nuclear Plant Safety
A House subcommittee will investigate security and safety concerns at the Surry nuclear plant after two employees admitted damaging $30 million worth of fuel with caustic sodium hydroxide to highlight alleged operational hazards. Kuykendall and Merrill face state charges and have limited experience at Surry. Vepco asserts no facility breach and defends its safety record.

Belvidere and Kadoka farmers launch a major spray campaign as three crop-dusting planes cover up to 24 miles along the White River. About 15 neighbors invest 30,000 dollars for a two mile strip while the federal government pays a third and the state appropriates 286,000 for programs. Sevin 4 Oil is used though it risks birth defects in dogs and warns to avoid water.
