Last week, with production up to 150 tons of ore daily, the mine's new owners were looking for a processing mill to handle their rich lode. One possibility was that they would buy the AEC's only remaining reduction mill at Monticello, Utah, use it to mill their...
...effective in protecting monkeys from the immediate effects of lethal radiation. AET was developed at the Atomic Energy Commission's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Still to be determined: the drug's long-term effect on the treated monkeys and any possible application to humans. Working on another AEC project, Overman is testing the effect of bone marrow injections on radiation damage. High doses of radiation disrupt the normal production of blood elements, causing dangerous anemia and other side effects. Using a technique first developed on mice, Overman has saved monkeys after exposure to normally lethal radiation (700 roentgens...
...Physics and coordinator of the project here, one of the reasons for the delay is the decision by the planners to do a "great deal of work at once, rather than beginning in bits and pieces." The contracts, he said, are at present making the rounds of the AEC in Washington...
...machine is to be run jointly by Harvard and M.I.T., although it is to be built with funds from the AEC. The cost is expected to be in the range of 6.5 million dollars, and it will be the largest of its type in the world. The projected date of completion is some time...
...roadblock to faster reactor progress, said Murray, is the fear of some private utilities that Government reactors (such as those proposed in the Gore-Holifield bill now pending before Congress) would lead to an "atomic TVA." As a way out, Murray suggested that Congress might direct AEC to build some full-scale reactors adjoining AEC plants, thus avoid competing with private power as they would if they were scattered throughout the U.S. At week's end it looked as though some such middle way might have to be found to get the reactor program in high gear-or Congress...
