Died. William Woodward, 77, millionaire Wall Street banker and breeder of thoroughbred race horses, whose Belair Stud farm produced three Kentucky Derby winners (Gallant Fox in 1930, Omaha in 1935, Johnstown in 1939); in Manhattan...
...Anxiety. In Tulsa, Okla., Mink Breeder Everett J. Dillon, filing a claim against the city for $6,736, charged that construction of a sewer line across his property had made his minks nervous, reduced the number of their offspring...
...first of the day's two great demonstrations of atomic progress (the second: announcement of a breeder reactor-see SCIENCE), the explosion at Yucca Flat was caused by the most powerful A-bomb ever set off in the U.S. With an estimated explosive force of 40,000 tons of T.N.T., the bomb produced an initial flash of unusual length (more than five seconds), which suggested that U.S. scientists had either changed the fissionable materials used or had discovered a new and probably more efficient method of detonation...
Atomic energy has passed a new and important milestone. Last week Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Gordon Dean told an Atlantic City meeting that the AEC's "breeder reactor" at arco. Idaho has been pronounced successful: The development multiplies by more than the energy-producing potential of the world's uranium. An analogy spelled out by Dean explained what atomic breeding...
Energy Unlimited. Chairman Dean points out emphatically that the success of the breeder reactor is not the dawn of a new atomic millennium. Fuel supply is only one of the obstacles that stand in the way of atomic power at competitive prices. But the breeder eliminates any possibility that the world's supply of fissionable material will run out in the practical future. Under the system of burning only the U-235, each pound of natural uranium, containing .007 Ibs. of fissionable materials, was equivalent in energy to about 18,200 Ibs. of coal. The breeding system makes...
