Beginning this week, a building with 80 offices at Harwell's research station will have central hot-water heating, piped in from the nearby experimental atom pile...
...major problem solved by the technicians: eliminating radioactivity from the heating plant's water (by using two systems of water pipes). Next hope of Britain's nuclear physicists: turbine power stations, fueled not by coal but by heat from atomic piles. All this was cheering news to coal-short Britain...
Four holes must be drilled into the bottle, one on top, one on the bottom, and two on the sides. Into these holes, attach the tubing. Heat will fuse glass to glass.
