u Scientists Are Skepco Over Prospects for Any Cheap
Universal Atom Power at Any lime in ForeseeobLe Future

world where conventional fuel is
plentiful. Atomic fuel, in fact.
may eventually become so cheap
as to be negligible from q cost
standpoint.
But fuel accounts for so small
a part Of the consumer dollar
spent on electrical power that
this saving is not likely to have
much practical effect on the
economics of power production.
Costs Examined.
Let us examine a few figures.
Assume, for the sake of illus
tration, that coal costs $40 a ton
which is rather high for in
dustry, on the average, At this
price. coal as a power-producing
fuel would account for between
four and five mills a kilowatt
hour on the electrical consumers
bill. A mill ison e-tenth of a
cent.
The September price charged
by the Potomac Electric Power
Co. here was 1857 cents, an av-
erage for all classes of service.
The cost of the fuel used in pro-
ducing the power in this case.
would be only about one-fourth
of the total cost of the power.
Assume, for the sake of further
illustration, that the fashionable
fuel in an atomic reactor costs
about seven mills kilowatt hour
of power produced. When added
to the cost of the plant and
maintenance, this would obvi-
ously put atomic power beyond
any competitive consideration.
Actually. however. a process
known as regeneration" enor-
mously reduces this fuel cost.
Regeneration works this way:
Most reactors contain both or
binary uranium (U-238) and its
fashionable, radioactive isotope,
U-235. The latter is the basic
fuel of atomic energy. But while
reactor is in operation, con-
suming U-235. some of the U-238
it contains is changed into plu-
tonium. And plutonium is as
good an atomic fuel as U-235
itself.
In the regeneration process,
less plutonium is produced than
U-235 is consumed. AS an ex-
ample-the figures are quite ap-
proximate-for every gram of
U-235 consumed, about nine

tenthS Of q gram Of plutonium
Is prod6ced. This nine-tenths
Of gram Of plutonium can be
used to help fuel a reactor. and
in turn will produce from U-23S
about eight-tenths Of a gram
more plutonium. And so on.
The process, however, is self
limiting. At regular intervals
the reactor must be stopped and
the plutonium extracted. Many
other things besides plutonium
are produced. They poison" the
reaction. About the limit Of the
regeneration process is the
production of approximately five
times the initial amount of fuel,
by transmutation of U-238 into
plutonium.
Regeneration brings the fuel
cost of atomic power production
down to roughly 1.3 mills a kilo-
watt hour-leSs than one-third
the cost of conventional fuel.
Breeding Process.
Breeding" carries this trans
mutation alchemy a long step
further. BY the breeding process.
one gram of U-235 might pro-
duce about IL grams of pluto
mum. This in turn would produce
about IL grams. There would
always be a favorable interest
rate. Theoretically, it would be
possible to convert all the COM
mon uranium - or the more
abundant radioactive element
thorium-into uSable fuel.
The process of atomic breed
ing promises to reduce the fuel
cost for atomic power to .013
mills a kilowatt hour. In other
words, power could be produced
for essentially no fuel cost what
Soever.
+ Atomic breeding, the possibility
of which was questionable, now
actually has been accomplished.
It was announced briefly by the
Acc a few months ago that one
of the experimental reactors IN
Idaho had succeeded in produc-
ing one gram of plutonium for
every gram of U-235 consumed.
The process in the reactor is
continuous; it is not necessary
to stop the reactor to extract
the plutonium which has been
produced.
The goal Of obtaining a con-
tinual increase in the fuel supply
still is ahead. But there is a good
Evening star., 1953-12-13

prospect that It win be reached
eventually. and the barely an
nounced accomplishment in Ida
no must be considered one Of
the great steps ahead In the
atomic energy program.
When all this Is said, however,
the basic fact Of atom power
economies remains unchanged: !:
The feasibility Of employing the
atom to produce electricity de-
peuds, not on fuel costs. but on
the cost of plant construction
and maintenance.
It is true, of course, that plu-
tonium produced through breed
ing" in a reactor power plant
could be sold to the Government
today. helping to Offset the high
productions costs of atomic pow
er. But the present market for
plutonium depends, of course, on
present exigencies. It cannot be
guaranteed for the future. Rely
ing on it would not give a true
picture of atom power econom-
les, in any event.
1t Is true. also, that the lower
that atom fuel costs can be re-
duced, the more leeway the
engineers can be allowed on the
cost OF plant construction.
Dependent on Capital.
For all that. whether atom
power can ever stand on its own
feet on a worldwide basis de-
pends on reduction of the neces-
sary capital investment.
The brightest hope is that this
expense can be brought some-
where close to that for conven-
tional plants.
The experts know that it will
be no easy accomplishment. It
is not even a sure accomplish
ment. They brought this "in-
stalled kilowatt" cost down from
$4,000 to 81 900 without too much
trouble, because there were Ger
tain fairly obvious steps to be
taken. From here on, they are
working in the dark.
They know atom power can be
produced. They believe it can
be produced eventually at costs
roughly equivalent to those ex-
perienced with conventional
power plants. They do not be-
lieve this can be done rapidly.
They can foresee a day wher
Evening star., 1953-12-13

the world will run out Of oil
perhaps even coal. On that day,
they anticipate, atomically pro-
duced power will be a great boon
to mankind, just as today it may
prove a boon to the inhabitants
Of certain fuel-hungry spots on
the globe.
But the day the dreamers are
already looking forward to
when the atom will flood the
world with an abundance of new,
cheap power for all mankind to
enjoy-that is a day the experts
cannot foreSee at all.

$4,000 Claim Rejected
For Home Blasted by Gas

The Arlington County Board
today turned down a claim for
$4,000 for home that was de-
stroyed by a gas explosion last
April %. The action cleared the
way for litigation to fix respon-

The claim was presented by
Attorney John Locke Green in

Her home exploded after a
