...have it finished by 1957. A second group of nine firms, including Detroit Edison Co., has asked permission to build another 100,000-kw. plant in the Detroit area by 1958. A third planner, Consumers Public Power District of Columbus, Neb., plans to have a 75,000-kw. nuclear reactor running in Nebraska a year later, while still a fourth group, including Chicago's Commonwealth Edison Co., wants to build a bigger 180,000-kw. nuclear power plant near Chicago...
...Pittsburgh, Westinghouse Electric Corp., which is already building a nuclear reactor for the world's first atomic power plant and a $2,000,000 atomic research center, announced a new plan to make Pittsburgh the "atomic capital of the world" by building a second $6,000,000 lab to do research and development work on peacetime uses for the atom...
This week Premier Scelba is flying home with some personal mementoes (including three honorary doctorates and a silver statuette of the Empire State Building). As a friendly gesture to Italy, the U.S. made available ten tons of heavy water for the Italian atomic-reactor program. More economic aid seemed to be on the way: the International Bank in Washington worked up plans for a $200 million program of loans to Italy, beginning with some $60 million this year...
...needed are those with the least industrial and technical development. This is the main limiting factor on international atomic-power development. The U.S. has already begun training programs for foreign students, who can go back to their own countries and spread the nuclear know-how required to run atomic reactors. At present, 31 students from 19 nations are attending a reactor training school in Chicago, and 32 students from abroad have signed up for a special course in radioisotope techniques to be held at Oak Ridge next month. In addition, the U.S. has assembled technical libraries of nuclear information, each...
...Though none of my colleagues would admit to being scared, they had a certain nervous look about them that made me think they felt like I did . . . Upon entering the reactor room I noticed Senator Pastore, Democrat, of Rhode Island, taking a quick glance at his [lapel instruments to test radioactivity]. Of course, I am sure it was entirely out of curiosity. I looked at mine, too . . . The atomic reactor was, of course, the center of interest. We were mere inches from lethal, deathly radioactivity. Yet, we could harmlessly place our hands on this still, warm, but quiet source...
