CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) - The
Waste Isolation Pilot Plant has been
cursed and commended, both in
court and in Congress, in the 10 years
since its inception.
Today, it continues to be con-
troversial, although the crusades
against the nation’s first home for
low- and intermediate-level defense-
related nuclear waste have quieted
somewhat as the repository nears
completion.
Construction of the $2.1 billion
dump in the underground salt beds
southeast of Carlsbad began in 1981.
A key group of volunteers in any
on-going agency is its board of direc-
tors and the HSCC is no exception.
The board will soon be appointing
new committees to carry out pro-
jected plans, and these include the
gift shop and those of the activities

The Golden K Kiwanis Club of
Hereford will begin its second annual
Light Bulb Sale this week, it was an-
nounced by club President I.M.
Atkins.
The club was organized among
senior citizens in April 1984 and has
now completed its first year of pro-
grams and activities in Hereford.
It is TRUPACT that is the latest
bone of contention for WIPP. State
officials contend the containers are
not safe enough.
