...third speaker, Louis Osborn, professor of Physics at M.I.T., emphasized the problem of technical judgment versus moral judgment. He said that much of the difficulty lay in the difference between percentages and total numbers. Many of the problems arising with regards to the desirability of atom tests lie within the realm of human values--whether one should regard 100 mutated babies as 100 tragedies or as merely a total misfortune of one-forty-thousandth of the total babies born each year...
Unrelenting Strain. Around the atom, which now comes in almost all shapes and sizes, the U.S. now deploys a versatile force-Army, Navy and Air Force-designed to 1) deter wars, 2) to win wars and 3) to give precise support to U.S. diplomacy at precise points. Such a force-in-being, constantly under re-evaluation and re-equipment, demands such phenomenal expenditures as $15 million for an atomic-submarine power plant (about as much as a World War II light cruiser), $8,000,000 for an intercontinental B-52 jet bomber (as much as 42 World...
...Atomic Energy Commission was flying captive balloons last week over its Nevada test site. Magnesium flares, burned at varying altitudes, would simulate atom bombs and indicate how high a bomb could be exploded without blinding auto drivers on the highways of southern Nevada...
...Neumann played a vital part in the wartime atom-bomb project. After the war he continued to advise the Government on high-level scientific problems, including thermonuclear weapons and guided missiles. In 1955 he became a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. His advice was instrumental in convincing the Department of Defense that a high-yield thermonuclear warhead could be made light enough to be carried across an ocean by a ballistic missile of practicable size. This thermonuclear breakthrough now dominates the thinking of the U.S. (and probably of the U.S.S.R.) about strategic warfare...
...ATOM-JET ENGINE for nuclear planes has been tested successfully by the Atomic Energy Commission, which powered a laboratory turbojet engine solely on heat generated by experimental reactor. Said AEC: "A significant advance toward the ultimate goal of achieving atomic-powered flight...
