...would think an atom bomb had exploded here. You never saw such excitement in your life as that about my making TIME. Every time I turn around, somebody tells me that they read your story of July 19-the faculty, the students, the beauty operators, the food clerks, and people on the streets whom I never saw before.

If this unpleasant stuff got spread around the countryside by any sort of explosion, it would do as much harm as the fallout from an atom bomb. Millions of people live within a few miles of Con Ed's projected installation. To reduce this danger to a minimum, the plant proposed for the Borough of Queens, on New York's East River, will have fantastically elaborate safeguards. The reactor core will be housed...
