If rnnvirtvi the rlpfpnrtnnts f.nrp Associated Press CINCINNATI Three Ohio utilities that own the unfinished William H. Zimmer nuclear power plant said yesterday they have settled a $1.2 billion lawsuit accusing the General Electric Co.
of fraud in supplying the plant's reactor system. The utilities and General Electric said they reached the settlement at the urging of U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel after they conducted a non-binding, mock trial in September at which the federal jury unanimously found GE not liable on any of the utilities' claims. After that trial the utilities and General Electric negotiated the settlement announced yesterday.
The three utilities filed the suit in 1984. Under fhe settlement announced yesterday. General Electric agreed to pay the utilities $78.3 million. In return, GE receives from the utilities two unused, non-nuclear turbines GE sold them in 1979 and 1980, which are on the utilities' books as worth $41 million. In addition, GE and the utilities agreed to sell unneeded equipment from the Zimmer site and to share the proceeds on a 50-50 basis.
The settlement was announced a week after the three utilities settled out of court with Sargent Lundy, the Chicago-based architectural and engineering firm that did designed work for the Zimmer plant, which is at Moscow, Ohio, 27 miles up the Ohio River from Cincinnati. The settlements avert a trial that was to have started Jan. 4. The utilities the Cincinnati Gas Electric Dayton Power Light Co. and Columbus Southern Power Co.
said the settlements will not affect their commitment to convert Zimmer to a coal-fired power plant that is to be operational in 1991.

A police officer facing disciplinary action for failing to meet the job's weight requirements Is leaving to become a sheriffs deputy in Brevard County, Fla. Tammy Hensley, 26, said that she now meets the standards for the Newport force but that the controversy figured in her decision to resign.

She makes $7.28 an hour in Newport. Her last day with that department will be Dec. 7. City Manager Dennis Phelan recommended disciplinary action for Hensley and five firefighters two months ago for failing to meet weight standards since January 1986. The city commission disciplined the firefighters, but delayed a hearing on Hensley after she hired an attorney.
Hensley was seven pounds over the weight standard for her height. She said she since has dropped 10 pounds. Pike gets last flood-damage payment PIKEVILLE, Ky.

A local aviation official said Thursday that the Federal Aviation Administration has removed navigation and radio equipment from the Whitesburg airport, which vandals have nearly destroyed during the past two years.
Whitesburg Airport board member Vernard Whitaker said the FAA removed a round, white radio antenna and various other navigation equipment worth more than $1 million from the deteriorating mountaintop landing strip and took it to the East Kentucky Regional Airport at Hazard in mid-September. Whitaker brought photographs to a Whitesburg City Council meeting last week showing concrete foundations are all that remain of several metal hangars at the airport. He said thieves had torn down the hangars piece by piece and carted them away.

Paul Kordenbrock, who was convicted of wounding William Thompson and shooting Stanley Allen to death during the robbery, Is on death row at the Kentucky State Penitentiary at Eddyville. The state will consider parole for Kruse next week, said Ron Simmons, chairman of the Parole Board.

Jim Stone, a stepson of Allen, said he believes Kruse should remain in prison because of the nature of the robbery and shooting. Some of recovered auto parts missing WHITESBURG, Ky.

Researchers will use animals to analyze the effects of stimulation and drugs on brain activity. The project's goal is to find an alternative to drugs that could provide the same "rewarding" neurological effects without the dangers. The project was awarded $234,000.

UK communications professor Lewis Donohew will lead a team studying how anti-drug messages can be made more effective by varying them for different types of adolescents, both those with low and high "sensation-seeking" levels.
I)onohew said research indicates that current anti-drug advertising that tries to scare children away from drugs does not work. "Not only does it not work, it does some harm," he said. It overly frightens those who are less likely to abuse drugs and amuses those who are more likely to abuse drugs, Donohew said. Researchers will produce and evaluate the effectiveness of videotaped messages, Donohew said, and eventually may produce tapes to be used for television public-service announcements. The project was awarded $465,000.
