...studying the behavior of matter under very high pressure. Such is the theory of Astrophysicist William Henderson Ramsey of Britain's University of Manchester. The simplest example is Jupiter, which Ramsey thinks is made largely of hydrogen. Near the surface where pressure is low, the hydrogen is in gaseous form. Deeper down it turns into a nonmetallic solid. It is still too light to account for the density of Jupiter's interior...
...begun to make corrections. Background radiation, if not too powerful, can be screened away by more elaborate shielding. Samples to be tested can be purified by turning their carbon into a gas that leaves the fallout particles behind. Most of the laboratories are already planning to shift to the gaseous method, which has other advantages also. But if bigger bombs are tested in larger numbers, scientists may have to abandon their cherished system of Carbon 14 dating...
...whole line of products for shoes, luggage, floor coverings and furniture. Goodyear also makes rubberized asphalt, has gone into the electronics business, and turns out an electronic computer called the "Geda" for the Air Force. And in Pike County, Ohio, Goodyear is slated to run a $1.2 billion gaseous diffusion plant...
This week at K-25, as always since its beginning, the gaseous uranium flowed endlessly, with full crews at work and no fear of breakdown. In Washington the C.I.O.'s Swisher said, with a slight note of surprise: "I think he [Mitchell] understands and appreciates the problems of people who work for a living." Said Mitchell, who clerked in a store, worked in a factory, and went through Depression layoffs before he became a labor specialist: "It is much sounder that people voluntarily go back to work than if they are forced back by an injunction...
...knew which process-if either-would work better. The British, noting U.S. success, were reasonably sure of getting plutonium from their reactors, so they did not start their U-235 plant until later. The isotope plant was built at Capenhurst in Cheshire, and it uses the same process (gaseous diffusion of uranium hexafluoride) as the U.S. plant at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Its purpose is restoring U-235 to the partially depleted uranium from the reactors...
