...below the moon's crust. "In almost every respect it will be physically like an earth Hilton," he explained, calculating that construction can start as soon as mass space travel gets off the ground. There will be wall-to-wall TV sets, a cocktail lounge and a nuclear-reactor kitchen to serve up tasty reconstituted meats and vegetables. And for dessert, naturally, green cheese...
...standard Buhl "Carrousel" projectors, altering their machinery so that a full complement of 160 slides would modulate gradually, "sensuously," in one continuous cycle. To achieve his abstract patterns, he painted the slides with transparent chemicals, then aimed a laser beam at some, bombarded others with gamma rays in a reactor to alter their stress patterns. The nudes were photographed in light cast through the slides; their bodies are not painted...
...with a few demurrers, generally goes along with the U.S. version of the treaty, which is only some 800 words long. The U.S. draft prohibits the manufacture of nuclear explosives by havenots, establishes a control system through the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency to make sure that no reactor fuel is diverted to weapon-making, guarantees to all signatories of the pact the cooperation of the nuclear powers in such peaceful activities as canal blasting or mountain removal, and extends security guarantees to the non-nuclear powers. It also argues that NATO does not violate the non-proliferation concept...
...real industrial muscle. What most worries the have-nots is that the treaty's stipulations might impede their atomic progress; what most worries the U.S. and Russia is that each advance brings the have-nots closer to an atomic-weaponry potential. West Germany has a new "fast-breeder" reactor that generates electricity-and produces enough plutonium to build 36 A-bombs of Hiroshima firepower per year. According to some estimates, India's one existing reactor and three abuilding ones will make enough fissionable fuel for India to produce 15 bombs of 20-kiloton strength by 1990. France...
Spurred partly by $1.3 billion of Government subsidy but more by the competition between Westinghouse and front-running General Electric for plant-building orders, nuclear power costs have dropped so far that atomic plants in some areas come cheaper than the conventional variety. Nine years ago, the first commercial reactor at Shippingport, Pa., generated electricity for 65 mills per kwh. The Oyster Creek plant of Jersey Central Power & Light, due to open next year, is expected to run for 4 mills per kwh, as does Consolidated Edison's Indian Point plant 30 miles up the Hudson River from Manhattan...
