Calling the agreement a "major accomplishment," officials from General Public Utilities Corp. of New Jersey and the DOE signed the papers at an informal ceremony in Gov. Dick Thornburgh's office. Robert Arnold, president of GPU Nuclear Corp., which runs the plant, said the core would not be removed until 1985. GPU must reimburse the government for the estimated $lO to $2O million cost of packaging the core, moving it to research laboratories in Idaho and eventually disposing of it, said Shelby Brewer, DOE assistant secretary. "The signing of this agreement should be recognized as a major accomplishment in establishing a plan for removal of radioactive wastes from TMI," Arnold said. TMI Unit 2 was crippled in the nation's worst commercial nuclear accident in March 1979 when the core lost part of its cooling shield of water and partially melted. The adjacent Unit 1, undamaged in the accident, has been closed since then. - TMI officials also said yesterday they have a $25 million plan for repairing damaged steam generator tubes in the Unit 1 reactor and could have it ready to return to service by year's end. Israeli army blockade fails to break strike By DANIEL A. GREBLER Associated Press Writer MAJDEL SHAMS, Golan Heights (AP) A 39- ' day Israeli army blockade imposed on the people of the Golan Heights has failed to break the back of opposition to Israel's annexation of the territory. Although the blockade was lifted Monday, the area's four main villages are still on strike. . A pile of bloodstained clothing and a heap of spurned Israeli identity cards attest to the struggle that has engulfed the Golan Heights since Israel annexed the Syrian territory last December. The unrest follows a new outbreak of resistance by Arabs on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River, but only by coincidence. Palestinian nationalism plays no role here, and complex pro and anti-Israeli sentiments were muted during the 15-year occupation preceding annexation. Then, last February, Israel told the Golan's 15,000 Arabs they would have to carry blue Israeli identity cards. The Arabs feared they would become Israeli citizens, and began a general strike. • Eleven days later the army set up roadblocks, d t a i ?l e olle • ian dispose of TMI core DOE originally was committed to taking only 15 percent of the core, Thornburgh said. With the agreement and one between DOE and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, TMI will not become a long-term disposal site for radioactive wastes, the governor said. GPU has said that its cleanup timetable depends on securing financial aid from outside sources. Thornburgh has proposed a $760 million cost-sharing plan involving GPU, the federal government, the electric industry and the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The company also says it needs TMI Unit 1 back in service to produce money for cleanup. A restart would release $37.5 million a year in customer revenue and another $7 million now spent each month for replacement power, the company has said. The restart was delayed by cracks discovered several months ago in 8,000 to 10,000 steam generator tubes. In a plan outlined yesterda to the NRC, the company would expand and reseal the tube walls to prevent further leaking. TMI spokesman David Osterhout said the technique has not been used in this country, but was effective in a Belgium nuclear plant. Osterhout said the company doesn't feel it needs NRC approval to begin the repairs because they pose no health or safety hazard. The repairs are planned to begin in July and be completed by fall. The $25 million cost will come from TMI Unit l's $94 million capital and maintenance budget, the company said. 'We'll continue the strike even tho - ugh we don't have much food or even milk for the children.' disconnected Golan phones and in effect cut off the villages from the outside world. Journalists were barred. Leftist members of Israel's Parliament who visited the villages came back accusing the army of imposing "a military dictatorship" and making innocent Women and children suffer. Deputy Premier Simcha Ehrlich retorted that if they were suffering, "they are doing so voluntarily" because it was they who began the strike. Israeli authorities and pro-Israel Arabs insist that the majority of Golan residents oppose the strike but are afraid to defy its radical instigators or the powerful clergy, who have imposed a social ban on anyone accepting an identity card. Israeli officials believe the Arabs had to be seen to be forced to accept the cards, lest they be Great Britain threatens to By ED BLANCHE Associated Press Writer LONDON (AP) Defense Secretary John Nott drew a line around the disputed Falkland Islands and said any Argentine warships that cross it from next Monday on "will be treated as hostile and are liable to be attacked by British forces." Nott told the House of Commons last night the 200- mile "maritime exclusion zone" around the South Atlantic archipelago would become effective 11 p.m. Sunday EST and "our first naval action will be intended to deny the Argentine forces on the Falklands the means to reinforce and re-supply from the mainland," he said. The defense secretary said the exclusion zone applied to "any Argentine warships and Argentine naval auxiliaries." The official Argentine news agency Telam said Nott's statement was an attempt by the British government "at psychological intimidation, lacking valid legal arguments." The British dispatched a flotilla of ships led by two aircraft carriers from Portsmouth to the Falklands on Monday. But Nott said last week that "a substantial number of Royal Navy ships" were at sea, declining to give their number or position. Britain's new Foreign Secretary Francis Pym warned Argentina's military rulers earlier yesterday that Britain "does not appease dictators," but warmly welcomed U.S. efforts to defuse the Falkland crisis, which began when Argentina invaded and occupied the crown colony on Friday. Secretary of —Nasi Ibrahim, 28-year-old tailor accused of doing so willfully and thus collaborating with the occupier. The government says 4,500 identity cards have been issued, covering virtually all Golan families. Those who have no card still cannot leave their villages. "We'll continue the strike even though we don't have much food or even milk for the children," said Nasi Ibrahim, a 28-year-old tailor. He said his people were willing to accept the military, rule that has governed the Golan Heights since their capture from Syria in 1967. "But we won't accept Israeli identity cards, because we are Syrian Arabs and we won't give up our nationality," said Ibrahim. Israeli authorities have sought in vain to convince the Golan Arabs that identity cards have nothing to do with citizenship. Many of the cards Krishna Stambh - a Dasa, spiritual leader of the State College Krishna house/temple, speaks during a Sunday evening session at the Krishna house about the need to understand the causes of everything. A vegetarian feast followed the session draws attack State Alexander M. Haig Jr. prepared to fly to London and Buenos Aires in a bid to defuse the crisis In Buenos Aires, Argentina's interior minister said his nation would defend the Falklands "to the last Argentine soldier" and Britain could not threaten Argentina into making concessions. Officials gave no indication of whether any British warships or submarines would be within the "maritime exclusion zone" by Monday, but Britain has a naval base at Ascension Island about 4,400 miles away and port facilities at nearer islands. • British officials said last weekend it would take 10 to 14 days for the Portsmouth flotilla to arrive. Nott's announcement came at the end of the second emergency Commons debate in four days on the Argentine invasion of the South Atlantic Falklands colony. Pym accused Argentina of "the rape of the Falklands," and declared to the Commons: "We intend to see that the . . . islands are freed from occupation and returned to British administration at the earliest possible moment." The Foreign Office said Pym "warmly welcomes President Reagan's decision to send Mr. Haig to London. He comes as a friend and ally to consult with us on an issue of great importance to us both the implementation of Security Council resolution 502 for which both countries voted" Saturday. The resolution calls for the withdrawal of Argentine forces from the Falklands. ' As the British navy readied more warships to join the armada heading for the islands 250 miles off southern Argentina, Pym told the Commons the fleet have been dumped in the road or pushed under the door of the local Interior Ministry office. The Israelis say that in a classic illustration of the dilemma, some Golan Arabs have thrown away the cover of the identity booklet while keeping the inner pages to show at roadblocks. At one point the resistance turned violent when the Israelis shot and wounded four demonstrators, saying the Arabs tried to grab guns from soldiers. Ibi•ahim took a reporter down a rocky lane to show him the scene of the April 2 clash. He pointed to a pile of identity cards and some blood-stained clothing heaped over a stone wall. Shell casings lay nearby. "You see, this is where they shot our people," he said. Supporters of Israel here blame the Israeli government for not cracking down harder and sooner on the radicals. "If the army had come here the day after annexation instead of waiting until February, it would have been more successful," says Salman Abu-Salah, an insurance agent and outspoken supporter of Israeli rule. Saadi Abu-Jabel, a teacher, believes the Israelis gave the populace too much freedom.

The 40-ship flotilla is "a formidable demonstration of our strength and our strength of will," he said. The British armada "may be called upon to face . . . formidable challenges," he added. Argentine Interior Minister Gen. Alfredo Saint Jean spoke with journalists before leaving Buenos Aires for the archipelago to take part in the swearing in of the islands' first Argentine governor in 149 years. The military junta in Buenos Aires said earlier it was confident that "an honorable and just peace" could be negotiated, but stressed it will not pull its troops out as a condition for talks. However, Argentina's ambassador at the United Nations, Eduardo Roca hinted that the junta might consider a pullout as part of an overall settlement. This heightened the prospect that some kind of peace formula could be worked out before the bulk of the British fleet arrives off the Falklands in about two weeks' time. Advance elements could be there sooner. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's Conservative government, facing the greatest crisis of its three years in power, has said it will not negotiate over the Falklands until Argentine forces withdraw. , Pym estimated the Argentine force at some 3,000 troops, but reports from Buenos Aires have indicated there could be larger forces on the rugged islands, which have been British since 1832.

(AP) A gasoline tanker truck exploded in a "raging inferno" when a bus hit it inside a tunnel early yesterday, setting off a 100-mph firestorm that roared through the tube and incinerated seven people. "It was a raging inferno in here," said California Highway Patrol officer Jim Mattos, who noted that the number of victims could go up. "It is theoretically possible that there were victims completely incinerated." The initial blast was followed by about 20 smaller explosions and a 2 1 / 2 -hour fire that destroyed much of the tunnel. Officials said some of the 8,800 gallons of gasoline in the tanker leaked into a nearby reservoir and could cause an "environmental tragedy." Hours after the 12:16 a.m. (3:16 a.m. EST) disaster, smoke and steam still clouded the 3,371-foot tube, one of three in the Caldecott Tunnel complex that runs beneath a hill separating the San Francisco Bay area from Contra Costa County suburbs. Rush-hour traffic backed up 10 miles as motorists were diverted to the few alternate routes. One westbound tunnel remained open The firestorm left foot-deep piles of tiles in the charred guts of the tunnel, Fire Capt. John Speakman said. Sprinklers that are triggered by 1,000-degree heat went off throughout the tube. Speakman said that a 5-mph breeze normally blows west-to-east against traffic in the tunnel. He said the force of the explosion turned the tube into a kind of horizontal chimney that carried flames and smoke at an estimated 100 mph. inside • State College Manor Nursing Home employees postpone their scheduled strike and continue ne gotiations Page 10 • The men's volleyball team ups its record to 28.2 by trouncing rival Pitt for the fourth time this season.
