Work 10 Begin
On Reactor
By L. EDGAR PRIN.A

Construction will start tomor-
row on a Naval Research I.abo-
ratory building which will house
the Districts first atomic reac-
tor.
The Blake Construction Co. of
Washington, which holds a $780,
600 contract for the job. will
move its demolition men in first.
When the blasting is completed,
excavation work for the build
ing within a building" at 4555
Overlook avenue S.W. will begin.
The reactor, a low-power re-
search type. is expected to be
operating by early next spring.
1t will have a capacity of 100
kilowatts corresponding ap-
proximately to the horsepower
of an average automobile motor.
Research Program
NRL does not plan to generate
electricity. The reactor will pro-
vide large quantities of neutrons
unchanged atomic particles
for the laboratory's research pro-
gram in nuclear physics, a pro-
gram now in its 18th year.
Responsibility for the design,
construction and operation of
the reactor has been assigned to
the laboratory's radiation divi-
sion.
The NRL reactor will not be
the areas first-the Army al
ready has one under construc-
ton at nearby Fort Belvoir to
generate electric power. This
would be a comparatively small
and portable type such "S c"'''d
be moved into out of the way
places such as air bases IN Cllc
far North.
The new NRL reactor will be
of the swimming pool variety,
SO called because the main fea-
ture of the installation will be a
water pool 40 feet long, 26 feet
wide and 20 feet deep. The ac-
tive core of the reactor will be
suspended in the pool.
The water wal serve as COOL
ant and provide part of the rad
iation shield. Concrete also will
be used for shielding, so that
radiation levels in areas i'm
mediately adjacent may be kept
within safety limits.
Seven n-Sided Main Shield
According to NRL, large-scale
experiments can be carried out
by immersing the necessary
equipment. At one end of the
pool there will be a seven-sided
main shield which will provide
facilities for neutron beam
studies and for irradiation of
various materials.
Fuel for the reactor will be
provided by the Atomic Energy
Commission. 1t will consist of a
large number of thin slices of
uranium each sandwiched be-
tween sheets of aluminium.
Control of the operation and
the power of the reactor will be
maintained by means of alum
mum tubes filled with boron
which can be inserted into the
uranium core.
The area adjacent to the re-
actor proper will be divided into
laboratory spaces, offices and
control room.
Congress has authorized $780,
900 for the entire job-modif1ca-
ton of the building and the
reactor itself.

Cramped Horizons
So far, Susie's plans for the
summer include reading. cook
ing. going to vacation Bible
school, and playing hop scotch
on the sidewalk in the crowded
neighborhood in which her fam
lily lives. The nearest swimming
pool is blocks away.
Camp would mean summer fun
to Susie in an outdoor world
very different from the cramped
hot world she knows.
1t would mean more than that.
1t would be one step into the
wider world that is her goal.
You can give Susie a summer
she won't forget by contributing
to The Evening Star Camp Fund.
Your gift, too. will make that
step into her future possible.

gram is instituted later, it was
explained. the four cents will be
suhtracted from the basic scale.
The new wage agreements, the
railroads estimated. will cost the
carriers more than $500 million
