Since the speed of the exhaust gases is proportionate to the temperature in the combustion chamber, Lewis next calculated what temperature such a rocket's materials would have to stand. The figure came out about 506,000° F., which is about 80 times more than enough to melt a combustion chamber made of any known substance...
Burn-Out. Plutonium is fissionable and a fine nuclear fuel, but the first reactors did not produce enough of it to replace the U-235 consumed. So their nuclear fuel gradually "burned out," leaving U-238 as a sort of ash. Thus, the reactors of the early atomic age could utilize only a very small part of the uranium fed into them...
...wall because of "sharp student controversy" (TIME, Dec. 5).

Wearing shorts, she clambered up 400 ft. on an outside...
