High AEC Post to
Former Bristow Man
(Continued from page 1)
Mr. Nelson startled the Rc
tarians when he said “a piece of
uranium the size of a baseball
has the same potential energy as
a pile of TNT big enough to fill
the Yankee stadium.
“The discovery of uranium fis
sion constitutes one of the most
spectacular events in the history
of science,” the manager of the
vast Savannah office reminded
the audience. It involves many na
tions, many scientists, free com
munication of scientific ideas,
highly trained imagination and
precise experimentation.
At the present time, “this in
dustry is devoted almost wholly
to the production of weapons and
to the development of a diversi
fied weapons stockpile,” the
speaker said. He added that this
is not by choice but is made ne
cessary by the critical state of
present day world affairs and will
continue to be necessary so long
as we stand between ruthless ag
[ gressors and the peoples of the
free world.
“Let us all hope and pray for
the day when, instead of de
voting this great industry to the
stockpiling of devastating weap
ons, we can instead dedicate it
to the production of power for
turning the wheels of commerce
and trade in a peaceful world.
“But the fact that the use of
atomic energy for weapons has
remained the primary objective
has not kept the commission from
taking the first steps toward the
production of power for peace
time uses. Reactors are now be
ing built which will operate un
der high pressures and tempera
tures for the purpose of generat
ing electrical energy. Five such
reactors are being planned by the
commission, each' of a diffrent
type, in order that we may study
their relative economics. Much of
the developement and design work
has already been done.
“Under the new atomic energy
act of 1954, which permits private
ownership of production facilities,
it is expected that much of the
developement of peaceful uses of
the atom will be undertaken by
private industry. The first large
power-producing unit is to be
built in the Pittsburgh area by
the Duquesne Light company, un
der an arrangement whereby the
project will be financed jointly
by private industry and govern
ment. The other four units will
also be partially fianced by the
Government.
Mr. Nelson believes it is only a
matter of time until an atomic
power plant has been developed
which can convert all the energy
of uranium into useful electrical
power. When this comes to pass,
the speaker cited, the cost of elec
triety will be a minor household
expense and almost all manufac
tured items will be produced at a
lower cost. In fact, he believes
that power would become so
cheap until it would no longer be
metered into homes but sold on a
flat rate basis.
He also stressed this mass pro
duction of power would revolu
tionize the standard of living, not
only in the United States, but in
all nations.
Mr. Nelson gave a brief his
tory of the Savannah River plant
which is located 15 miles from
Aiken showing on a chart the
principal facilities and some in
dication of the immensity of the
project.
The speaker cancelled an en
gagement in New York to address
the Rotary club at Aiken.
