In discussing the possibilities of atomic energy in industry, he pointed out the various technical difficulties. We have to perfect a mechanism which will take heat in here and let it come out here cold with all the energy used in between,he said. lln addition to having too low melting points, the carbons in the metals absorb neutrons. If you remove the carbon, the metal isnt resistant enough to heat,he ?aid. He also mentioned the highly radio-active refuse or garbagewhich would result from com- mercial use of atomic materials. Thick concrete shieldings or met- al filings would be necessary to prevent harm to operators. In explaining a use of the new science in medicine, he said that salt water and radio active sodium could be given to a person anJ ihe physician could tell how far cir- culation extended into the limbs of the body. This information is valuable when ah arm or leg was being amputated, he concluded. Third Installment Of Fees Now Due Fees for the liext inatallment are now payable and are due by De- comber 18, W.

sdid, “Am one admiral put it, ‘We'll go along with a push-hut- ton war; we've got the button.’ ”

The atomic bomb Is. actually between those two extremes, he

' added.! ;' ' ' [; .In discussing the possibilities of

atomic energy in industry, he pointed out the various technical difficulties. “We have to perfect a mechanism which will take heat in here and let it come out here cold with all the energy used in between,” he said.

lln addition to having too low melting points, the carbons in the metals absorb neutrons. “If you remove the carbon, the metal isn’t resistant enough to heat,” he ?aid.

He also mentioned the highly radio-active refuse or “garbage” which would result from com­mercial use of atomic materials. Thick concrete shieldings or met­al filings would be necessary to prevent harm to operators.In explaining a use of the new

science in medicine, he said that salt water and radio active sodium could be given to a person anJ ihe physician could tell how far cir­culation extended into the limbs of the body. This information is valuable when ah arm or leg was being amputated, he concluded.
