See story,p.143.  One problemwith the EEI research,however,is that except in an appendix,cost sharing isnot included,even though the House proposal,which is used for the costing other-wise,provides for spreading the costs to ease the burden on the Midwest.  \n善 警 善  \nEPA SAYS IT HAS NO SOLUTION to industry problems with pollution liability in-surance.  Forecasting that all liability insurance will evaporate with thissummer's sun,industry reps told the Senate environment committee that no actionit takes,even on reauthorizing Superfund,will probably make much difference.  \nAIR/WATER pollution report_    __April 15,1985  \n## THOMAS OKAYS LESS STRINGENTRULE ON RADON-222 CONTROLS\n\nLarge underground uranium mines will be required to install bulkheads to re-duce the release of radon-222 into the air,The bulkheading will allow the ra-diation to decay in a closed-off atmosphere,EPA says.
