Although all U.S. manufacturers are now worried about pollution controls, no industry is more concerned-or has better reason to be-than the automakers. Under the Clean Air Act of 1970, Detroit's 1975 models must be built to emit 90% less of both carbon monoxide and gaseous hydrocarbons than is given off by 1970 cars; by the 1976 model year, emissions of nitrogen oxides must be reduced by a similar amount. If Detroit fails to meet these deadlines, the Federal Government can close the industry down. As a result, the automakers have launched a crash program, investing both...
...helium, the basic gases in the Jovian atmosphere. He deduced that if such a combination were subjected to several hundred thousand times earthly atmospheric pressure (14.7 Ibs. per sq. in. at sea level), the hydrogen would begin to solidify first, its density becoming less than that of the remaining gaseous mixture of hydrogen and helium. Physicist Ringermacher, then a Private First Class stationed at West Point, and Yale Geophysicist Veronis confirmed that such pressures could well exist at a depth of several thousand miles in Jupiter's atmosphere...
Even worse, though, the plant is not equipped to trap any gas released during reprocessing and over 30,000 curies of gaseous radioactive krypton (K85) are released every month. One curie, fully absorbed, is fatal. With prevailing winds from the west a serious hazard is posed for Buffalo 30 miles to the northeast and for Vermont, which thought its problems had ended when the wastes first left the state...
Another drawback of the Vernon reactor is its operational requirement to release low-level radioactive liquid and gaseous wastes from time to time. The AEC contends that these wastes are harmless. But a recent paper has shown remarkable correlation between changes in infant mortality and radioactive gaseous discharges in Illinois in the area surrounding the Dresden No. 1 power station (a BWR of one-third the capacity of Vernon) over the past ten years. Dresden's annual effluents ranged from 34,860 to 800,000 curies from...
Fall Moore did, in the predicted round?right before a crowd of more than 15,000 in Los Angeles, who had turned out to see if Gaseous Cassius could pull off his coup. Even Jack Dempsey was impressed. "I don't care if this kid can't fight a lick. I'm for him. Things are live again." Cassius then lit out after Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston, verbally assaulting "the big ugly bear" at his training camp, at the airport and even at Sonny's home at 3 a.m. When they finally tangled on Feb. 25, 1964, Listen failed...
