Kemet, which is based in Greenville, S.C., said that it had adopted a shareholders' rights plan that would hamper a takeover move.

The Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the nation's largest utility, said yesterday that it would pay $333 million to settle 650 claims related to groundwater said to be contaminated in the 1950's and 1960's by a gas pumping station near Barstow, Calif. The plaintiffs contended they suffered a variety of diseases including lung, stomach and kidney cancer as a result of drinking the groundwater. The agreement calls for Pacific Gas to pay a total of $333 million to a fund to be divided among the plaintiffs. That amount includes $50 million the company has already paid, and $150 million it set aside earlier to cover the claims. Pacific Gas, based in San Francisco, agreed to submit the cases to binding arbitration in September 1994 with a maximum cap of $400 million.
