...barren stretch of coast at Humboldt Bay, 225 miles north of San Fran cisco, surveying teams this week went to work on the foundations of a radically new type of nuclear power plant for California's giant Pacific Gas & Electric Co. The reactor will be underground, thus eliminating the need for the expensive protective dome; it will incorporate new advances in design to produce more steam, thus increasing capacity. By 1964, when the second fuel core has been phased in, the reactor's generating capacity will reach about 60,000 kw. When it does, the plant is expected...
...that Russian subs have only short-range rockets fired from the surface, still have nothing comparable to the U.S.'s Polaris. Possible reason for the timing of the announcement: the launching a day later of Britain's first nuclear sub, the Dreadnought, powered by a U.S.-built reactor...
...Diego State (8,191), strong in science and math, is geared to the area's aviation-electronics complex (Ryan Aeronautical, General Dynamics). S. D. boasts 26 major labs, hopes to get a nuclear reactor. Last year it had half the physics majors in the state-college system. The average freshman IQ: 120-125. The faculty Ph.D. rate: 63%. By 1970 S.D. expects 25,000 students. Says President Malcolm Love, onetime boss of the University of Nevada: "Though we are called a college, we are in deed and in fact a university...
...most expensive material used by the bases is fuel oil for power and heating, which in most cases must be delivered by air. The final answer to this problem is the small nuclear reactor to generate electricity and keep the buildings warm. Preparations will be made this season for the installation of the first of these reactors at McMurdo Sound. Eventually both Byrd Station and the South Pole base will also go nuclear...
...Grecian court in New Harmony, Ind., was built as a memorial to the Harmonists, a German Separatist sect that assured its own extinction by faithfully practicing celibacy. But to Johnson it suggests the stave churches of Norway and the stupa forms of India. Without its name, the Nuclear Reactor Building in Israel could be a medieval cloister, topped by a huge, 20-sided tower that seems to change its shape with the movement of the sun. In the Four Seasons Restaurant-as hedonistic as a Caesar's court-light ripples up and down aluminum loop window shades, plays upon...
