The Commission manufactures fissionable materials and atomic weapons; conducts research and development aimed at improved weapons, more efficient production of fissionable materials, generation of useful power from atomic energy, and protection of military and civilian personnel against hazards arising from atomic energy operations; and disseminates unclassified technical information to encourage scientific and industrial progress.


1955


The program is administered in the field through 10 major offices; most of the Commissions activities are carried on in Government-owned facilities by industrial concerns and educational institutions, operating under contracts. Coordination with the armed services is achieved through the Military Liaison Committee of the Department of Defense.

Obligations for operating expenses in 1955 total $1,237,337,000 of which $1,184,986,000 represents 1955 operating costs. The remaining $52,351,000 is for other obligational authority required for changes in inventories, for changes in working capital and unliquidated obligations primarily related to work to be performed subsequent to 1955, and for reimbursable obligations. Operating costs in 1955 are expected to be 27.7 percent greater than the estimated 1954 costs and 66.3 percent greater than actual costs for 1953. The upward trend reflects larger-scale procurement of raw materials; the continued expansion in the production of feed and fissionable materials and weapons as new facilities come into operation; and the efforts to develop varied types of atomic weapons. Other research which includes the development of reactors for industrial power and military uses is continued at approximately the 1954 level.

1. Source and fissionable materials. Uranium ores and concentrates are processed into feed materials (a) from which plutonium is synthesized in the reactors now operating or under construction at Hanford, Wash., and Savannah River, S. C., or (b) from which the fissionable isotope uranium 235 is extracted in existing and projected plants at Oak Ridge, Tenn., Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio. New foreign sources of uranium will contribute substantial tonnages in 1955, and production from domestic sources will continue to expand. New facilities for producing feed and fissionable materials will provide sharply increased output at lower unit processing costs. Emphasis will continue on development of new equipment and processes to increase yields and improve the quality of products.

2. Weapons. This program encompasses the production of weapons; the development, design, and testing of new weapon types; and the storage, maintenance, and custody of stockpiled weapons. The number of technical personnel employed at certain of the principal weapon development centers will continue to increase. New production installations and expanded facilities at existing installations will be in operation, and weapon tests are planned to be conducted, as development may warrant.

3. Reactor development. Increased emphasis is being placed on new reactor designs to advance the peacetime uses of atomic energy in the field of generation of electrical power. The objective is to achieve large scale generation of electrical energy from atomic reactors comparable in cost to conventional generation. An important early step toward this objective was taken during 1953 when an experimental reactor confirmed the previous theoretical predictions that breeding can occur; this reactor produced on a very small scale at least as much fissionable material as it consumed. Several groups of industrial concerns are engaged at their own expense in conducting studies of reactors for producing electricity which could be built and operated by private industry, and additional companies are planning to participate. It is expected that such industrial participation will speed the achievement of large scale economic power generation from reactors.

New reactor designs are also being developed to propel naval vessels and military aircraft. Though oriented primarily toward military needs, this research also pro

vides data for the peacetime uses of reactors. A land- based prototype reactor for the propulsion of a submarine is now in operation. A second, of a different .type, will be completed in 1955. Development of^aircraft reactors will continue during 1955.

Work on specific reactor designs constitutes about 75 percent of the scientific and technical effort in reactor development. The remainder covers advanced engineering and development, applicable to many reactor designs, on reactor materials and components, systems for heat transfer, shielding, and chemical processing; operation of the experimental facilities at the National Reactor Testing Station in Idaho, and conduct of a school of reactor technology for scientific and engineering personnel in both Government and industry.

4. Physical research. This activity provides for studies and experimental investigations in physics, chemistry, and metallurgy required by the Commission to reach its objectives. The Commissions activities employ unusual materials for which the nuclear, as well as the physical and chemical, properties need to be determined accurately. These materials are used at temperatures and radiation densities which are outside the range of previous industrial experience.

Approximately two-thirds of the cost of physical research is incurred for work carried on in Commission laboratories, and one-third is for research contracted to some 100 universities and other independent institutions. Minor amounts are provided for isotope distribution and the operation of a computing facility.

5. Biology and medicine. Standards are established to insure that the Commissions activities are conducted with safety to both employees and the public. Research is conducted on such problems as the effects of radiation and certain chemicals, of significance in the Commissions operations, on living things and on the biological phenomena of nuclear explosions.

Research includes both investigations on means of minimizing the injurious effects of radioactive materials and on modes of utilizing such substances for human welfare; and broad investigations in fundamental problems of the application of radiobiology to agriculture, animal husbandry, and human medicine. The comprehensive study of tolerance levels of exposure to radioactive contamination continues to be emphasized.

The major portion of the research is carried on at 16 laboratories which are owned by or operated for the Commission, and the remainder, approximately 375 projects, is supported in more than 160 universities, colleges, and hospitals. The program includes the operation of four cancer research facilities in the United States, and two laboratories in Japan for the determination of the effects of atomic bombs on the population.

6. Community. The Commission operates 3 towns with an estimated total population of 75,000: Los Alamos, N. Mex.; Oak Ridge, Tenn.; and Richland, Wash.; and provides limited services at other locations. The estimates are based on the assumption that the Commission will continue to operate these communities through fiscal year 1955. It is estimated that revenues will increase substantially; with only minor increases in costs, revenues will exceed costs in fiscal year 1955 by $1,048,000.

7. Program direction and administration. The costs of general management, technical supervision of program operations, the negotiation and administration of contracts, and other related activities performed by Commission personnel represent 3 percent of total operating costs in 1955 as compared with 3.7 percent in 1954.


1955


ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION ContinuedOperating Expenses, Atomic Energy Commission ContinuedAdditional positions required for direction and administration of the expanded operating programs of the Commission are offset by reductions incident to completion of certain major construction projects.

8. Security investigations. The Atomic Energy Act of 1946, as amended, requires background investigations by the Civil Service Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation of those persons proposed for access to restricted data of the atomic energy program. The total number of investigative cases to be completed by the two investigative agencies is estimated at 58,200 for 1955, compared with 65,800 for 1954.
