European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 14, 1978, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Poge 28 the stars and stripes monday August t4, 1978 Gas pricing Accord threatened Byrd presses for Energy program Washington api Senate majority Leader Robert c. Byrd pressing for a final congressional agreement on a natural Gas pricing policy said saturday that it would be ridiculous to let Energy legislation fall apart after 14 months of grueling  meanwhile president Carter said in a interview released saturday that Ameri cans Don t realize the seriousness of the nation s Energy problem and that television network shave devotee too Little Timeto publicizing it. Despite new troubles in the length drive for congressional agreement on a natural Gas pricing program which remaking it More difficult to Settle on an acceptable Compromise Byrd told reporter that he is still confident some formula can be  would be ridiculous absolutely Ridic Ulous after having spent 14 months of grueling labor on this number one Issue that the thing would fall apart and no agreement be reached the West Virginia Democrat  latest stumbling Block was the Deci Sion Friday by sen. J. Bennett Johnston,d-la., to withhold his signature from the draft report of a Senate House conference committee on Compromise terms covering k. Natural Gas pricing a massive part of  package in Congress. However later saturday sen. Henry in d-wash., who Heads the Senate i Gas conferees said he s hopeful of agreement among them this week of the House s plan to adjourn afr thursday s business. The congressmen i sept. 6.

The Promise would lift Federal Price con i from newly found domestically pro cd natural Gas on Jan. 1, 1985, with about 10 percent annual increases in Gas prices until  s support was considered Cru 1 dal because the Senate House panel was sharply divided and the Compromise was a fragile one with Bare majority backing j among the negotiators. Without the signatures of a majority of negotiators the conference committees report on the agreement cannot be offered to the full Senate and House for final confessional  text As drafted is unacceptable Tor me and i will not sign the conference com 5 Mutee report in its present  John it unsaid. He said he believes the draft contain some deviations from terms of the agree ment which the negotiators reached ear her this year. Byrd meantime said he is not prepare to proceed with votes on other portions of the Energy package until the natural Gas Section has been disposed of. The senator said he will remain hopeful even if no agreement is reached before the truck plunge into River in Uganda kills 40 Nairobi a forty persons Mostof them children were killed when a truck plunged into a River in Northern Uganda radio Uganda reported. In a broadcast monitored Here the radio said the truck was carrying More than 100 passengers and was travelling Between Arua and Moyo at the time of the crash. It quoted eyewitnesses As saying that most of the casualties were schoolchildren return ing to their villages for the  passengers were injured the radio said. Seventeen bodies including those of nine women and a baby had been recovered by Rescue teams the radio said. Senate s upcoming labor Day recess. He has already said that the Senate will continue working on Energy even if Neces sary beyond the original target congressional adjournment Date of oct. 7.Byrd said his optimism is based in part on the fact that conferees Are still  Senate members Are expected to meet during the coming week in a new attempt to Settle disputes. He said i m not giving up until it is absolutely and obviously and indubitably impossible to think about getting a  added that the important thing is for people not to put the key in their Brief cases turn the key put their cloaks on and go  said he is sure conferees realize How much the Economy and the nation s Security and International Confidence in american economic policy and the Dollar Are at stake in dealing with Energy issues meanwhile according to a transcript re leased at the White House saturday car Ter told a group of Magazine editors on Fri Day unfortunately we have not been a Leto sustain the concern among the Ameri Sec Wurfer May become Energy source of future continued from Page a embarking on engineering development effusion reactors he  scientists produced fusion in the Hydrogen bomb it has proven far More difficult to design a reactor capable of con Taining the Sun like temperatures of fusion reaction and to produce a sustained reaction that gives off More Energy than i needed to trigger it. Current nuclear reactors use fission Orthe splitting of atomic particles. Those plants produce High amounts of radioactive wastes which need to be stored to protect human health. Their fuel could be use to produce new atomic bombs. In addition the plants depend on a limited Supply of uranium. The advantage of fusion Tor the worlds that the fuel for the fusion reactor is universally available from seawater there will be no fuel crisis because of the Cost or availability of Deal table fuels such As Oiland natural Gas Dean said. The reactors use deuterium and tritium which can be derived from the Hydrogen in seawater he  addition the fusion reactor produces one Millionth of the radioactive waste Ofa fission reactor. It is considered accept Able from an environmental Point of View he said adding Only the Walls and the Structure of the facility become radio Active but there is no waste product like spent  have made a great Advance said d. Harold Furth one of the chief Princeton researchers. The Princeton Experiment involved Small reactor called the torus to Kamak a donuts shaped device using a magnetic Fieldton bottle up the blazing Gas produced by the fusion reaction and keep it from touching Metal Walls it would otherwise melt. The Sun uses Gravity to keep its fusion reactions in control but we use magnetic  he  beam of Hydrogen atoms was shot through the Core of the reactor producing temperatures of 60 million degrees cent Grade for one tenth of a second. Dean  fall scientists produced tempera Tures of 25 million degrees centigrade. Temperature of 44 million degrees is needed to produce a self sustaining fusion process he said. Dean said formal announcement of the breakthrough was planned for later this  now know How to set the size of the reactor and How to calculate and scale it up in size he said adding working reactors could be developed in 10 to is Yea Sand it would probably be 30 years before fusion reactors Are used to produce electricity. Dean said the temperature Experiment was one of two major breakthroughs expected in the fusion reactor Field. The second expected next year will be to sus Tain the temperature or longer periods he said the time and temperature ele ments will be brought together in the Toka Mak fusion test reactor currently under construction which is suited for comple Tion in 1962.scientists have been attempting to come up with the exact formula for the con trolled fusion explosion the right temperature density of Gas and maintenance of the reaction for a certain confinement  predicted scientists will be Able to control the reaction for a full second within four years using equipment now being manufactured.
