u. 5. Awards Contract
For Atom-Pow@ed
Naval Ship Engine
BY the Assoeieted Press

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 29.-The
Westinghouse Electric Corp. today
undertook a Government commits !
sion to build the worlds first atomic
power unit for transportation pur-
poses.
The assignment was handed the
company by the Atomic Energy
Commission.
Primary goal of the project will
be the development of a power
plant for the propulsion Of United
States Navy ships by means of
nuclear reactor-a uranium furnace
with a function quite similar to
ships fireboats that consume coal
or oil.
/ Although final terms Of the con-
tract between the company and the
/ Chicago Office of the commission re-
main to be determined, Charles II.
! Weaver, head of Westinghouse
newly formed atomic power divi-
sion, said work on the atomic en-
CINE would start within the next
few months"
May Take Six Years.
! The completion date, however, was
a matter of conjecture-"maybe two
wears, or it might be five or six
Mr. Weaver said.
CONSTRUCTION of the nuclear re-
actor" the Westinghouse official
said, marks the beginning Of the
development Of atomic energy in the
transportation field Our efforts;
however, will be directed toward
putting the reactor in a ship. We're
trying to build ships power plant
that will burn uranium instead of
coal or OIL"
According to an official OF the
Atomic Energy Commission in
Washington, the ship propulsion
project will not be the first nom
weapon development of atomic pow
er undertaken.
A previously-announced project
at Schenectady. N. Y, he said, in
wolves the development of reactor
by General Electric for use in the
production of commercial electric
power.
The official said a number of other
development projects are aimed at
possible peacetime applications of
nuclear fission, but there has been
mo announcement of any other direct
attempt to adapt atomic power for
propulsion purposes thus far.
Objection Explained.
A. Tammaro, manager of the Acc
operations in Chicago, said the pro-
pulsion project will be carried out in
cooperation with the Argonne Ma
tlonal Laboratory, major center of
the commissions reactor develop
ment program.
The development of such special
lied nuclear reactors was one of the
functions assigned to the Argonne
Laboratory in January, 1948, when
the laboratory was made the center
Of Aces reactor program.
1T is the objective of the COM
MISSION Mr. Tammaro said, Ito
produce nuclear power plant which
may be adapted to the propulsion
of naval vessel within the shortest
possible time.
Our contract with Westinghouse
will bring into the Acc program a
company resourcefulness in engin-
eering skills required by reactor de-
velopment."
| Westinghouse during World War
II helped the Manhattan Engineer
District in processing uranium and
making specialized equipment for
use in the U-235 separation plants
at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Mr.. Weaver said the Westinghouse
lproject will be carried on in a lab
oratory in the Pittsburgh area with
a force of about 600 men, many of
them engineering specialists.
