...that can be as accurate and reliable as a photograph of the actual crime. No ordinary cop could hope to gather such fingerprints, or even to decipher them. They are the product of neutron activation analysis, which requires that specimens under study be irradiated with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. Then the fine details of their chemical composition can be deduced from the pattern of the radiation they give...
Even a child who is normally a "red reactor" with decay-prone teeth will show a blue reaction immediately after a good brushing. Those who eat their desserts first are not nearly so likely to need a toothbrushing for relative safety...
...Presence. American aid has supplied South Viet Nam with roads, factories, universities, even with an atomic reactor. But very little dribbles down to the peasant, who wants education for his children, medical care, agricultural aid, honest officials and, most of all, protection. On a farm in a coastal region, a mother explained the neglect of her scab-ridden year-old son. "It costs 14? to go to the village and 14? to come back. The doctor charges 70? and then I must buy medicine. We're too poor...
...Savannah's reactor, a time-tested model similar to those used in U.S. nu clear submarines, will drive the ship at a speed of 21 knots. One problem for the Savannah designers was to shield the $10 million reactor so that a collision with another ship would not release death dealing radiation. To accomplish this, the ship's nuclear engineers encased the reactor in reinforced bulkheads, extra-heavy plating, a 2-ft.-thick "collision mat" made of layers of steel and redwood, and some 2,000 tons of lead and concrete...
Hard on the heels of Russia's promise of a nuclear reactor destined for the University of Ghana came the appointment of the school's first professor of nuclear physics: a Briton who has been 15 years away from the field. Recipient of the chair (among several earmarked for "distinguished scholars from all parts of the world"): Alan Nunn May, 51, who served six years and eight months for giving atomic secrets to the Russians...
