"In little ways," says a Soviet chemist, "the Chinese showed us up, and sometimes behind our backs they called us Big Noses, as if we were no better than oldtime imperialists...
...pool-type research reactor whose fuel rods are suspended under 25 ft. of water, which acts not only as coolant and moderator but also shields its human operators from radioactivity. In the spring of 1958, physicists peering down through it saw that the water was getting cloudy. They called Chemist-Bacteriologist Eric B. Fowler of the laboratory's radioactive-waste disposal group, who found that it was swarming with microorganisms, about i billion per quart.
