Photo by Mary Anna Golon Daily Nebraskan fall editor-in-chief Amy Lenzen Potential for nuclear explosion grows Harrisburg, Pa.-Federal officials said Saturday night that the gas bubble inside the crippled nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island is showing signs of becoming potentially explosive, complicating decisions on whether to mount risky operations to remove the gas. Officials said earner that tens of thousands of people might have to be evacuated if engineers decided to try to remove the bubble, operations that could risk a melt down of the reactor and the release of highly radioactive materials into the atmosphere.

But the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Saturday night that it might be equally risky not to try the opera tion, because the bubble showed signs of gradually turning into a potentially explosive mixture that could wreck the already damaged reactor. An explosion could release radioactive materials into the atmosphere or at worst, cause the reactor core to melt, releasing even greater radioactivity. Metropolitan Edison Co., operator of the plant, said company experts were checking on the report. NRC Chairman Joseph M. Hendrie said earlier at a news conference in Washington that the evacuation of citi zens within 10 to 20 miles downwind of the power plant was "certainly a possibility'' as a precaution if technicians tried to force the bubble out of the reactor. With lowJevel radioactive gases still beaming from the plant, Gov. Dick Thornburgh extended his advisory that preschool children and pregnant women stay at least five miles from the plant. Experts have cited the vulner ability of fetuses and young children to radiation. About 131,000 people live within five miles of the plant, and 250,000 live within 10 miles. Nearly 1 million people live in the four counties around the site. An insurance company spokesman said that for the first time in U.S. history a claims office had been opened to handle damages from a nuclear accident. 4774711 New Store 1616 aOn St. (MD(fil Register Now!
