NRC Approves Millstone Restart - (WATERFORD) -- The Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission has granted Northeast Utilities permission 
to restart the Millstone Two Nuclear Power Plant, but it still must 
remain idle. That's because a judge's restraining order remains in 
effect. The environmental group ``Fish Unlimited'' obtained the order 
earlier this week because members claim the reactor kills too 
many fish. Millstone Two has been quiet more than three years due 
to safety concerns.

Geologist Warns Of Quake Danger - (SALT LAKE CITY) -- State 
geologists say the area where the Skull Valley band of the 
Goshute Indian tribe wants to build a nuclear storage site, could be 
prone to earthquakes. Lee Allison of the Utah Geological survey 
was among many people who testified at a public hearing on the 
proposal. Allison claims there are two large, active faults that would 
be crossed by the railroad to get to the site. Allison's boss, Utah 
Governor Mike Leavitt, has been a vocal opponent of the plan by 
several eastern utility companies to temporarily store the waste in 
Utah.
