...centrifuge was not forgotten. Atomic Energy Commission scientists kept working on it, as did many Europeans, especially in West Germany. Prominent in this work were Professor Wilhelm Groth, of Bonn University, and Gernot Zippe, who built a gas centrifuge for the U.S.S.R. and was hired in 1958 by the AEC. Zippe returned to Germany last July and is now associated with the Degussa Co. of Frankfurt, which is manufacturing the centrifuges experimentally...

...opinion, the court ruled that the Atomic Energy Commission must sus pend a "provisional" construction permit for an $83 million, 100,000-kw. nuclear power plant near Monroe, Mich, because "it has not been positively established" that the plant can be operated safely. The AEC license to the Power Reactor De velopment Co. - a combine of Detroit Edison Co., 17 other utilities and seven manufacturing firms - was challenged by a group of unions led by Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers. While they raised the issue of safety, their more important aim was to push the cause of public...
...plant, on which AEC is spending only $4,500,000 of the cost, has been un der construction since 1956 and is sched uled to be completed this fall. It would be the first big U.S. plant with a fast-breeder reactor, the type most likely to produce competitively cheap atomic power, since it produces more atom fuel than it consumes. At AEC hearings, a group of top scientists, led by Professor Hans A. Bethe of Cornell, testified that the plant could be operated without undue risk to the public. City officials of Monroe said they welcomed the plant. AEC...
...freeze nuclear development at its current pioneering stage. It wo.uld stymie such peaceful nuclear pursuits as atom-powered space probes and massive use of atomic explosives to blast a new Alaskan harbor. It would make more difficult the already difficult job of keeping together skilled teams of scientists in AEC labs. It would stall the development of clean, small, highly mobile tactical weapons...
