...strong magnetic fields. When deuterium nuclei are shot into the cavity, they sometimes stay there for 30 millionths of a second, a very long time in thermonuclear physics. Said Dr. Tuck: "For the first time I see in this device faint glimmerings of a possibility of making a thermonuclear reactor...
...city, said Dr. Hall, might make good use right now of a monster reactor. Over Los Angeles a layer of warm air (an inversion) hangs for long periods and traps beneath it the city's notorious smog. Dr. Hall believes that a reactor, operating at comparatively low temperature but generating 100 million kilowatts of heat, could punch a hole in the inversion and clear L.A. of smog...
PORTABLE ATOMIC REACTOR, lightest of its kind, will be installed by U.S. Army in Greenland. Weighing 310 tons, unit will produce heat and lights for 100-man base, run for a year on one planeload of uranium...
...those who were within a four-acre area around the explosion turned in their laboratory-issued clothes to be decontaminated. Their urine was checked to ensure that they had not inhaled or ingested any plutonium. The processing plant and a nearby research reactor were shut down. The buildings were washed with detergents. The buildings' roofs were resurfaced. The surrounding lawn was dug up, and the sod carted to a deep burial place. The surface was chiseled off of a hundred yards of asphalt road. To anchor any speck of plutonium that might have survived, the buildings were completely repainted...
...ATOMIC REACTOR for Puerto Rico, first in the Caribbean, will be built by AEC and used to train Latin American scientists. The 16,300-kw. boiling-water plant, costing $11 million, is scheduled to start operating near Rincón in three years...
