\begin{abstract}
We prove a result relating the stable generic Jordan types of the 
symmetric and exterior powers of the Heller translations of a module 
for a finite elementary abelian $p$-group. In the case of the trivial 
module, the stable generic Jordan types of the symmetric and exterior 
powers of its Heller translations are completely described.
