Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. is doing a better job monitoring radiation releases at its Nine Mlle Point nuclear plant than it did a year ago, according to two recent reports by federal regulators.
The positive reports marked a j change in fortune for the Syracuse-tased utility, which has spent much time recently responding to criticism from the U.S. Nuclear i Regulatory Commission of how it runs its two nuclear plants on Lake i Ontario.

prevented with better planning, NRC inspectors praised Niagara Mohawk for " drastically" improv-ing its monitoring of radfation at the two plants, During a February 1991 inspection, many of the plants' monitors were broken or. working ;,,
