posal anywhere for the commercial
use of atomic energy. There still
are many technical difficulties to be
overcome. The uranium bomb was
relatively simple compared with the
uranium power plant in which
the explosive process is controlled.
But few experts have any doubt
that commercial utilization will be
achieved in the next decade and
that uranium plants will spring up
in all industrial countries.
But there is no suggestion that
the basic materials necessary will
be different than those used for
atomic bombs. 1t will be necessary
for commercial companies to build
up stockpiles of uranium 235 and
plutonium. and no suggestion has
yet been offered to prevent the use
of these materials for war purposes.
This greatly complexities the prob
lem of an effective United Nations
control, says DR.. Edward U. Condor,
director of the United States Bureau
of Standards and scientific advisor
to the Senate committee on atomic
energy. The only practical idea ad-
vanced to date is that inspections be
SO thorough and so frequent that
any unusual production, or any
preliminary move for atomic bomb
manufacture, would be detected at
once. 1t probably would be neces-
sary to have absolutely uncorrupti-
BILE inspectors stationed at every fac
tory most of the time.
II don't wish to be pessimistic,"
DR.. Condor said, but an adequate
inspection system certainly will be
very complicated"
But no other safeguard except in
spection yet has been proposed, he
said. With atomic power still some
distance in the future, the problem
has not been discussed in detail and
it probably will be impossible to go
further at present than to get the
United Nations to agree on a gen.
eral inspectorship. The precise way
in which it would operate would de-
pend on the methods which finally
evolve from the scientific labora-
tories.
