...with microcapsules containing primer. When the rivet is forced into place, the capsules break, allowing the primer to flow over both the rivet and the adjoining metal to protect them from corrosion. Manufacturers are testing encapsulated flavors and fragrances in food mixes to increase their shelf life, and nuclear-reactor fuel is being encapsulated to increase its efficiency...
Mostly, however, the presidents influence society and the Government by serving on powerful advisory groups. Within education, for example, 22 university consortiums now direct projects too big for any single school to handle, such as the operation of a nuclear reactor. Other key boards counsel the Government on foreign-aid, education abroad, relations with emerging nations, and poverty programs...
This statewide system now boasts the nation's largest university nuclear reactor (10 megawatts), will offer a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering next fall, has a forward-looking Space Science Research Center exploring the possibilities of creating permanent settlements on the moon. Its pioneering school of journalism, first in the nation when founded in 1908, produces a city-wide daily newspaper and operates the only television station in Columbia. The university is looking for a topflight dean of graduate studies to direct its growing research activities-and is willing...
Communist Customers. To win contracts, companies and governments are making some imaginative deals. France is negotiating to sell a $118 million reactor to Spain, has offered to pay a quarter of the cost of it, and in return will get a quarter of the power that it produces. Westinghouse invaded heavily protected French territory, got the job of building the reactor for a Franco-Belgian plant in the Ardennes by promising to subcontract much of the work to local firms. In order to profit from the German market, Westinghouse has also licensed Siemens to use its reactor patents...
...consumes 1.25 billion gal. The governments of the U.S. and Israel are now jointly studying the possibility of building nuclear desalinization plants with daily outputs of 100 million gal. For the Los Angeles region, Bechtel Corp. has recently completed the first stage of a study calling for a two-reactor nuclear plant that theoretically, by 1972, could turn out 150 million gal. per day, at a cost...
