As rapidly as possible, smelters and refineries will be installed to process iron, steel, cobalt, nickel, manganese alloys and aluminum. With Alcoa out of the picture, another U.S. aluminum company. Reynolds Metals, came in. Reynolds will probably supply a third of the capital for the $270 million first stage of the project, scheduled for 1962, and eventually use a third of the power for aluminum...
...capsule of cobalt-60 (cost: $50) will cast its X-ray beam through metal welding, will easily show up every flaw. This inspection process, too expensive with old-style X-ray machines, increases the welding safety factor, reduces the thickness of metal that need be used. Example: if all welds are inspected with CO-60, a 50 ft. "Horton sphere" for storing high-pressure gases can be built safely with 12% less steel at a saving...
