The design modification of CP PD's nuclear reactor building for the proposed ir radiation facility, presented to the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission by Atomics International, a division of North American Aviation, Inc., most Food Irradiation Planned For CPPD Nuclear Project COLUMBUS, Neb. Consum-1 -n -v : i-: i. : 1 ers Public Power District officials revealed Sunday that design plans have been proposed for the possible construction of a food irradiation center adjacent to CPPD's sodium graphite-type nuclear power facility near Hal lam. Gen. Mgr. R. L. Schacht and Dr. Emerson Jones, CPPD's nu clear physicist, announced that a design modification within the Hallam reactor building'has been approved by the U, S Atomic Energy Commission. The modi fication would provide for the flow of radioactive sodium to a proposed food irradiation center planned and presented by Atom ics International. Atomics International's de sign plans include., installation of piping from the primary so duim coolant system of the reac tor to the wall of the Hallam reactor building. Valves and other auxiliary equipment also would be installed in the reactor building. Atomics International, Canoga Park, Calif., a subdivision of North American Aviation, Inc. is designing the nuclear, reactor vessel for CPPD's nuclear reactor facility through an agreement with AEC. Schacht and Jones said AI's proposal for the irradiation faci lity on the 640-acre "Sheldon Station" site 22 miles southwest of Lincoln resulted at least in part from a survey taken of growers, industries and busi nessmen within a 13-state, 500- mile radius of Hallam. The sur vey, conducted by Nuclear In dustries Corp., cf Lincoln, in co operation with Al, covered the following states: Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, South Da kota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. In explaining the proposed ir radiation facility, Jones pointed out that AI's plans show liquid sodium, which transfers heat from the reactor to the turbine generator, becoming radio-active in the process. This radio-active fodium would be used as the source material for preserving and sterilizing food and process ing related materials by expo sure to radiation. AI's proposed irradiation cen ter would be equipped to pro cess a wide variety of foods, such as meat, potatoes, onions, beets, etc. Initial design of the pro posed facility includes the neces sary piping, pumps, instru mentation,, cell structure and ventilating equipment. The estimated operating of such a facility, according to Al, would be about 520 tons daily, irradiating the various forms of food sufficiently to offer limited preservation. It could be increas ed to 800 tons daily at the same radiation level if foodstuffs were placed in standard containers Material to be processed would pass by rectangular "slabs" con taining the radioactive sodium source and would be exposed to gamma rays for desired radia tion. Complete details of the pro posed" building, layout, loading methods and related matters have not been completed. Jones, who attended the recent : Midwest Industrial Isotopes Con- ; ference at Kansas State College) where the- possibilities of com- i mcrical irradiation faci 1 i t i e s ! wpre discussed, said: "Thn nre- I liminary design and research on I i-1 1 1 j: ii 1. the proposed irradiation center at CPPD's Hallam Nuclear Re actor Facility again demonstra tes the tremendous potential the future holds for the use of by p r o d u c ts from the nuclear plant." He said that both military and industrial organizations have studied the applicability of ra diation processing for food. He pointed out the Atomics Inter national carried out an analysis of food irradiation methods for the Army Quartermaster Corps in 1956 to detemine the most practical means of treating food in this manner. AI's reports in dicate that no toxic effects have resulted from consumption of radiation sterilized foods by hu mans. Radiation can completely eliminate infestation in such products as grain and increase five times the shelf-life of re frigerated fresh meats. CPPD currently is building a 100,000-kilowatt conven 1 1 0 n a 1 steam power plant at the "Shel don Station" site. It will be in operation in April, 1961. The sodium graphite-type nuclear power facility, to be tested in late 1961, is scheduled to take over all power generating in 1962. Grading, fencing, installa tion of water wells, power faci lities and "railroad siding, road building and other work is well under way. Major construction will start with the advent of good weather.

This cut away drawing shows the floor of the irradiation building with operators standing near the grain hopper (upper right), while meat and packaged food move past radioactive slabs on conveyors in the underground section.
