...hospital is the first unit in the $8,500,000 cancer center which will be completed in 1951. The second unit will be the Atomic Energy Commission's Argonne Cancer Research Hospital. Also under construction are a $2,200,000 synchrocyclotron and a 400-million electron-volt cyclotron in the new Accelerator Building. The complete project will be the first university center devoted exclusively to the study of cancer...
...Cleveland, Ohio, will be the first privately endowed organization to receive regularly a clinical supply of radioactive iodine and radioactive phosphorous, by-products of the uranium piles which produce plutonium for use in atomic bombs. This method of production is relatively cheap, since the only alternative means is cyclotron bombardment which produces such small quantities as to be impractical for the desired scale of operation...
...Department has no large-scale project, like the physicists' cyclotron, although it does most of its work in organic chemistry. Two of the more intelligible research jobs are those of Professor George B. Kistiakowski and Assistant Professor Leonard K. Nash...
...activities of the department are not limited to repair, however. The electrical division, for example, has just completed installing the new 15,000 volt transformers to carry the added load of the Physics Lab's cyclotron. But the most spectacular of the department's functions is the heating of Harvard buildings. Steam for over 180 buildings is brought from the Cambridge Electric Light Co. through two 19-inch pipes while a third one carries returning water. These pipes run through four miles of underground tunnels...
...atomic scientists were scattering opinions as fast and freely as a cyclotron shoots out particles. Each pronouncement, analyzed separately in an emotional vacuum, might be sound. But it seemed to the public last week that the experts were talking in discordant tongues and at cross purposes...
