The United States Senate approved legislation last week sponsored by Virginia’s two senators to make sabotage of a nuclear power plant a felony under federal criminal law.

Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Jr., introduced the bill with Sen. John W. Warner as cosponsor. The Senate approved it by voice vote as an amendment to the fiscal 1980 authorization bill for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Impetus for the legislation pame from the May 7 discovery of sabotage to stored nuclear fuel at the Virginia Electric Power Company (VEPCO) power plant at Surry. Warner inspected the sabotage scene during a recent visit to the Surry plant. Conviction under the ByrdWarner legislation, if enacted, could result in a maximum penalty of 10 years
