...this point my techniques are laboratory toys," says Moore. "They are expensive and too cumbersome to be of immediate practical value." But New Jersey's Thomas A. Edison Research Laboratory is now designing automated equipment to simplify the technique. Hamden Hall's parents are already sold. Says one father: "I was waiting for my boy to grow up before I spent time with him. Now, I'm sorry when he goes...
BIGGEST NUCLEAR PLANT in U.S., which began operating at Dresden, Ill., will eventually produce power at price generally competitive with coal-produced electricity, if research costs are excluded. Built by G.E. for Chicago's Commonwealth Edison Co., it generates 180,000 kw. of electricity, enough to light 50,000 houses...
