...industry, the byproducts of a cleanup often offset part of the costs. Los Angeles County's oil refineries strip smelly hydrogen sulphide from crude oil, convert it to 450 tons a day of marketable sulphur. Boston Edison Co. mines vanadium from its oil-fired smoke, exports it to Belgium. For the nation, air and water cleanups mean a huge saving in dollars as well as in health. An air cleanup alone would save $11 billion a year that is now wasted on extra cleaning, painting, corrosion and damage to crops and property...
...chamber was severely damaged in an explosion at the CEA experimental hall July 5 while it was being filled with liquid hydrogen for the first time. It is now being rebuilt in a converted warehouse in Billerica, 25 miles north of Boston. Since hydrogen from the chamber is believed to have triggered the explosion, CEA staff members decided two weeks ago that it would have to be housed in a separate building -- where an accident could be easily controlled -- or not be used...
...next July, the CEA will also reactivate a small bubble chamber it used in the early part of 1964, Livingstone said. It holds 32 quarts of liquid hydrogen when full -- only 1/20 the capacity of the larger chamber -- and will permit the continuation of a few bubble chamber experiments...
Many CEA scientists now believe the explosion was touched up by liquid hydrogen which spilled while being fed into the experimental hall's bubble chamber. The CEA is considering requesting funds for a separate bubble chamber building on the grounds so that an accident would be much less destructive there than in the present hall. The chamber is now being re-assembled but will not be used by the Harvard-M.I.T. experimenters who being work in November...
JULY 7--Preliminary investigation indicates that 95 gallons of liquid hydrogen in the bubble chamber were expelled safely and that hydrogen in the chamber filling system may have caused the explosion...
