The Schlesinger program will call for a modest acceleration in the building of present fission reactors and will place great emphasis on safety precautions.

Owing to a maze of regulations and community misgivings, it now takes up to eleven years to build a reactor in the U.S., v. only 3½ in Japan. Schlesinger's team hopes that standardizing reactor design will shorten construction time...
