...Electric Boat's Groton yard, a nuclear-attack sub of the Skipjack class was well along in construction. Her reactor and control-room sections were nearly completed. By chopping that 250-ft vessel in half and inserting a 130-ft missile bay in her midriff, she could be commissioned in two years as a Polaris submarine. But though he knew his scheme was technically possible, Raborn still had to convince himself that U.S. industry would work as hard as his new schedule required...
...their atomic protection, and it is Russia that must provide the heavy machinery without which China cannot pretend to be a great power. Since 1950, the Russians have delivered to China an estimated $4 billion in credits, including 291 industrial projects. They have given China a small experimental nuclear reactor and a cyclotron-but no atomic weapons. The Russians provide all China's jet aircraft, much of its heavy military gear. Nearly all of China's aviation fuel is still brought by rail from the Soviet Union, creating a strategic dependence on Moscow for a prime material...
...Knudsen in 1931, as a project manager. He became a vice president in 1943 and general manager in 1947. As president, Bonny will take over a $400 million backlog for new construction that includes foreign operations in 18 countries, new dams and power plants, a series of experimental nuclear-reactor plants, new factories and research centers, roads, and bridges...
...opinion, the court ruled that the Atomic Energy Commission must sus pend a "provisional" construction permit for an $83 million, 100,000-kw. nuclear power plant near Monroe, Mich, because "it has not been positively established" that the plant can be operated safely. The AEC license to the Power Reactor De velopment Co. - a combine of Detroit Edison Co., 17 other utilities and seven manufacturing firms - was challenged by a group of unions led by Walter Reuther's United Auto Workers. While they raised the issue of safety, their more important aim was to push the cause of public...
...plant, on which AEC is spending only $4,500,000 of the cost, has been un der construction since 1956 and is sched uled to be completed this fall. It would be the first big U.S. plant with a fast-breeder reactor, the type most likely to produce competitively cheap atomic power, since it produces more atom fuel than it consumes. At AEC hearings, a group of top scientists, led by Professor Hans A. Bethe of Cornell, testified that the plant could be operated without undue risk to the public. City officials of Monroe said they welcomed the plant...
