Under such conditions it would be both foolish and extremely dangerous for America to assume Malenkov was lying...
Early Bird. Crane's President Holloway started following up his ideas on titanium shortly after Du Pont produced the first small batches of titanium metal in 1948. Then, as now, the best process for getting the metal out of the ore was the Kroll one, which extracts the titanium "sponge" as a clinker by using magnesium to drive it out of a solution.

AEC finally classified "Steen's Folly" as probably "one of the major uranium strikes" in the U.S.-an estimated 1,350,000 tons of uraninite ore reserves with a value...
