New du Pont Plants
Ordered as H-Bomb
Work Is Stepped Up
Rx the As,o,inted Press

: The United States appeared to-
day to be gearing itself to produce
a hydrogen bomb without slack
ening-perhaps even while in
creasing-its pace on A-bombs.
A major segment of the job
was assigned to the du Pont COM
pany. already experts in making
plutonium which goes into pres
ent atomic weapons.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced a move which-while
the Acc did not say so-could
mean that the commission is go
ing to make large quantities of
tritium, a possible ingredient of
the H-bomb, without curtailing
production of plutonium.
Form of Hydrogen.
Tritium is Super-heavy form
Of hydrogen. heavier even than
the deuterium of heavy water.
Theoretically. you can make
either plutonium or tritium in a
certain kind of atomic energy re-
action. But. theoretically also. If
you make one, 1t is at the sacrifice
of the other.
Unofficial comment has been
that quantity production of Lri-
tium might endanger the Nations
A-bomb program, and also the
objective of getting industrial
power from the atom.
No Use as Peace Power.
Tritium, while a possible in
aredient of hydrogen bomb, has
no application as a source of
peaceful power, so far as is
known.
The Acc announced yesterday
1t had appointed the du Pont
company to design, construct and
operate some brand-new plants of
advanced design" These would
be for the production of materials
which can be used either for
weapons or for fuels potentially
useful for power purposes"
The commission carefully re-
Trained from explaining whether
materials" means just one kind
of product. such as plutonium,
or two or more different ones.
Two interpretations.
The announcement - which
would appear to give the Della
ware firm top responsibility for
developing the H-bomb-is open
to these two interpretations:
/. New research may have
turned up means of producing
both plutonium and tritium stimuli
taneouSly and in quantities suf-
ficient TO make the operation
practical. Or
2. The projected plants may be
so big or 80 efficient that the
two materials could be made al I
ternatively-and still there would
be a major turnout of plutonium
for A-bombs and other uses.
