In the past six years, more than 800 scientists from 45 states and twelve foreign countries have taken its special course in using radioisotopes (socalled "tracer atoms...
...University of Tennessee's Oak Ridge experiment station, hens fed with mildly radioactive mash are laying radioactive eggs. This tracer technique, the university said last week, has helped its poultry scientists to follow the intimate workings of the hen's egg-making machinery. By skilled use of Geiger counters, they can follow the "hot" feed as it circulates inside the hen. They can measure it accurately as it forms into...

The flashes are arranged in sequence, flicking in toward the runway and marking the landing direction like a stream of tracer bullets. And the pilot can easily locate the runway threshold, which is outlined with high-intensity green lights and a check point of five red bars...
