From Associated Press reports
; WASHINGTON The Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC)
grants licenses for handling radioac
tive material without verifying claims
or inspecting facilities, making it
"overly vulnerable to dishonest or
careless applicants," a congressional
report said Wednesday.
. The General Accounting Office
(GAO) said it discovered a series of
"continuing and sometimes chronic
problems" with the way the NRC
hands out licenses and oversees
businesses after they're licensed.

license application information, visit

RALEIGH Judicial elections
historically have been walk-aways for
the Democratic Party, but some of
this year's tightest races in North
Carolina came in the judicial branch.
. "From the looks of it, I may be
waiting up all afternoon," Republican
Appeals Court Judge Donald Smith
said Wednesday. Smith was hoping
jo join fellow Republican Robert Orr
as the first members of their party
to win a statewide judicial election
jn this century.
With 94 percent of the precincts
reporting early Wednesday, Smith
was trailing John Lewis by just over
4,000 votes.

report said. "As a result, NRC is
overly vulnerable to dishonest or
careless applicants."
"All of these weaknesses or prob
lems increase the public's risk of
exposure," the congressional investi
gative agency said.
Rep. Edward Feighan, D-Ohio,
had asked for the GAO investigation
after the accidental spill of radioactive
material that had been smuggled onto
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
near Dayton, Ohio.
He issued a statement calling on
the NRC to "take immediate action
"WeVe been steadily cutting away
at the lead all night," Smith said.
"Boy, it's close."
Orr and Smith were appointed by
Republican Gov. Jim Martin to fill
vacancies. They were running to
complete terms that expire in 1992.
With 94 percent or 2,254 of 2,391
precincts reporting, Orr had 52
percent or 960,342 votes to 48 percent
or 895,136 votes for Democrat John

Republican candidates contested

"We have every right to expect
quick response from an agency that

the GAO report to suggest that the
NRC has corrected critical problems
identified over the last 16 years,"
Feighan said.
NRC spokesman John Kopack
said the agency would not discuss the
report until after the agency's staff
had reviewed it.
The report noted that the NRC has

Gov. Jim Martin, Clarke eked out

new developments force the NRC to
turn its attention elsewhere, backlogs

In addition to granting licenses
without verifying applicants' claims
or visiting facilities, the report said
the NRC:

mine when a license application
should be denied or when repeat
violators should get extra penalties.
B Doesn't make sure license
holders can afford to clean up after
an accident.

German Jews commemorate
anniversary of Nazi atrocities
From Associated Press reports
FRANKFURT, West Germany
A Jewish leader said Wednes
day that descendants of victims
will preserve the memory of the
orgy of genocide launched 50 years
ago with a night of horror the
Nazis called Kristallnacht.
Heinz Galinski, leader of West
Germany's 32,000 Jews, later went
to a ceremony in East Germany,
whose Jewish population numbers
about 600. He urged both nations
to make the anniversary a joint
day of rememberance of the Nazi
past.
Some Jews objected to Chan
cellor Helmut Kohl's presence in
the Frankfurt synagogue where
Galinksi spoke, and he was
heckled from the balcony. They
cite his 1985 visit with President
Reagan to the Bitburg cemetery
where 49 Nazi SS officers are
buried and his alleged insensitivity
to Jewish concerns.
On Tuesday, the eve of Kristal
lnacht, someone spray-painted
swastikas and pro-Nazi slogans on
a synagogue in the Bavarian
village of Binswangen, police
reported.
