AND NOW-THE ATOM AGE!
Continued from poss four

automobile to provide energy as long
as the car lasted. A two-pound piece
would drive a submarine, and five
pounds would propel an ocean liner.
Successful application of the power
within this uranium isotope will al
most surely necessitate redesigning OF
every navy in the world. Space and
weight now devoted to fuel supplies
will be given to heavier armor and
more guns. Naval fueling stations,
hitherto a necessity for any nation
with pretentions to empire, will no
longer be necessary. Fleets will have
unlimited range.
At the moment. many things stand
in the way of realization of such
dreams. The basic scientific job has
been done. Engineering work must
follow. Uranium is synonymous with
power. But how is the isotope to be
extracted commercially from ore? And
how, once extracted, is it to be utilized?
Both questions pose large problems.
Present Cost Staggering
URANIUM ore is plentiful in the
world. There are large deposits in
Canada, Colorado. the Belgian Congo.
Germany and elsewhere. U235 is
present in the ratio of one part for
every l39 parts of common uranium.
Getting this isotope out of the parent
ore by the experimental methods en-
ployed at General Electric and at
Minnesota is utterly out of the ques-
ton. The cost would be staggering,
and it would take an estimated 75,0OO
years to collect single pound!
Such obstacles will not, however.
deter the search for cheaper extraction
methods. Already an army of men
are at work on this job. The United
States Navy. General Electric and a
dozen other research groups are work
ing on it. Even though only short

ton of this effort, it is beginning to
give results. From Stockholm Pro-
fessor Wilhelm krasny-Ergen, worker
at the Wenner- -Crens Institute, re-
ports that he has speeded up produc-
ton 10000 times by using a thermal
diffusion tube. This improvement puts
U-235 as power producer just barely
outside the limits of feasibility,
Investigators in this country are
looking to the possibilities of tie
centrifuge This machine sorts atoms
as to weight by whirling them at high
speeds. just as a cream separator
whirls milk into component parts.
Most scientists feel that efforts in
various directions will end success
fully within a decade But the tech
nique for utilizing this amazing ma
terial also offers problems. The explo-
sion rate of atoms must be carefully
governed. Since it is possible that

explosion, impure alloys have been
suggested. Ordinary uranium acts as
a brake on the explosive process:
cadmium is another possibility.
Solution of all the problems that
attend this exciting new material may
seemremote And practical advantages
from their solution may appear
doubtful - as doubtful. in fact, as his
pioneer electrical work must have
seemed to Michael Faraday. But the
point is that the barrier which once
seemed insuperable has been broken.
Atoms have given up enormous
amounts of power The task now is to
collect enough of these atoms, and
find a way to harness their energy.
The day of atomic power. long
awaited, has dawned.

measured voltages resulting from the
explosions moved to the 200, 900. 900
volt mark and stayed there. As Bohr
had assumed, explosions occurred in
chain fashion; one atom giving up
power to shatter a second, a second
third, etc. An all-important step to-
ward atomic power had been achieved.
Calculations indicated the incred-
ible amounts of power wrapped up in
the silvery metallic element U-235.
One pound, it developed, produced
energy equal to that produced by
5000. 900 pounds of coal!
Further calculations showed an
amazing thing. This power could be
captured rather simply. No gigantic
demonstrating machine would be
needed - not even to start the series
of explosions. The highly unstable
atoms of U-235 are constantly disin-
tegrating and shooting off their own
projectiles in the form of neutrons. All
that was needed was way to slow up
these neutrons and permit them to
find their target. And this trick could
be accomplished merely by submerg-
ing some U-235 in ordinary water.
The water would put brake on the
speed of the neutrons: permit them
to hit the bull's-eye and start in mo-
ton the chain series of explosions.
The water, meanwhile, would take up
the heat produced by this violent ac-
ton and change to steam All that was
needed for continuous power produc-
tion was constant supply of cool
water. Cut off the water supply and
the process would cease.
Power possibilities of this element
are difficult to comprehend. An aver
age house with a furnace that burns
ten tons of coal per winter could get
all the heat necessary for thirty-year
period from two-ounce piece of U-
235. A similarly small piece might be
sealed into the power plant of an

YOU won't believe, until you see

your hair looks; how much softer
it feels, after HALO shampoo.
For Halo cleans every particle of
CRIME and waste from each hair.
Yet Halo contains no soap TO leave

dull, dingy cast; make il feel stiff,
look lusterless.

moves the curtain of film that clouds
the color of your hair. Brunette hair
shines with enchanting, deep tones.
Blonde hair sparkles like streaming
sunlight. Whatever the color, hair
looks brighter, richer, more en-

You will find Halo economical,
