...diffusion process which is used at Oak Ridge and will also be used at the plant now being built near Paducah, Ky. The other AEC production plants at Hanford, Wash. and on the Savannah River are entirely different: they are reactors that make plutonium (and may make tritium for hydrogen bombs) through nuclear reactions caused by free neutrons given off by fissioning uranium. The fact that the AEC is building both kinds of plants suggests that...
...Plutonium and U-235 have individual virtues. No information on this point has been released, but it is likely that the two fissionable materials may be used separately or together, in different atomic weapons. Some combination of both may promise to be the most effective "detonator" for hydrogen bombs...
...often important for doctors to know how much water there is in a patient's body, especially if he has heart disease. Almost 20 years ago, Physicist George Hevesy worked out a way to use the stable isotope of hydrogen (deuterium or hydrogen-2) in heavy water for this purpose. But the technique is complicated and takes a long time. Now the University of California's Dr. John H. Lawrence, one of the first and most imaginative of the atomic medicine men, can do the job far faster with heavy-heavy water, the oxide of hydrogen3 or tritium...
When the gas breaks through the earth's magnetic field, the physicist said, the hydrogen particle become luminescent upon contact with the atmosphere some 200 miles above the earth's surface...
Menzel, now a visitor at the Colorado observatory at Boulder, believes the energy and heat thrown off by the hydrogen atoms could have important effects on both weather and radio reception...
