...trouble began March 13 when H. E. Northway, Del's father and manager of the Houston plant of M. W. Kellogg Co., was opening a shipment of intensely radioactive pellets of iridium 192, which Kellogg's nuclear division uses to take X-ray pictures of heavy metal objects. Helped by Jackson McVey and two other men, and working with remote-control apparatus from behind a thick shield, Northway opened the 800-lb. shipping container, took out the sealed metal canister full of deadly pellets and put it on a remotely controlled lathe. When the lathe's tool...

Of 74 patients treated, with a variety of tumors in the throat, lungs, prostate, kidney, bladder and brain, two-thirds now show no sign of disease, though no cures will be claimed for five...
...Government the problem is how to maintain a strong domestic industry in case of war, which has always found the U.S. in short supply of critical metals. Unwilling to raise tariffs in the interests of world trade, the Eisenhower Administration in 1954 stepped up its stockpiling program, set about buying big supplies of the metals for strategic storage.
