If a thief were to try to loot them, a blast of radioactivity would strike bim dead. But the dangerous treasure-"fission products" from plutonium manufacture-may some day revolutionize many branches of industry. Last week Stanford Research Institute issued a weighty report on the fission products and how they may be used...
