Can a breeder-type nuclear
reactor for production of cleo
trio power be built near a dense
ly populated area without undue
danger to life and property?
That is the principal question
lowering over the first public
hearing ever held by the Atomic
Energy Commission on the devel-
opment by private industry Of
atomic power for peaceful pur-
poses. The hearing opened yes
terday in the Post Office Depart
ment Building.
The Power Reactor Develop

be built safely and is asking
that the construction permit is
sued last August by the Acc be

oility whatsoever Of an explosion
like an atomic bomb.
Edward Reed, a Detroit at
torney representing PRDC, as
serted that the breeder reactor,
which gets its name from the
fact that it produces more nu-
clear fuel than it consumes, is
the most economically promising
of all types for the production
OF electric power.
He said the United States
should not permit any delays in
its efforts to recapture the world
lead in atomic power plants. He
noted that Great Britain is
scheduled to begin commercial
operation OF a breeder reactor
in 1858. The Lagoona Beach
plant will not be ready until
1861. following a full year OF
tests.
Mr.. Reed said the company
has S23 million in unconditional
commitments from its member
firms. The JAW has ques-
toned its financial ability to
carry out the project.

asked that PRDC withdraw its
application to build at Lagoona

This latter was a reference to
the fact that PRDC has asked

The construction and possible

old Duke of York grants along
Pilottown Road in Lewes.
This use of sand in causeway
building, as discovered in the old
dyke, may be unique in Delaware
and if so its discovery is import

ence makes me feel certain that
its use on the Pagan Creek marsh
was not a bolt out of the blue, but
had been tried somewhere-possi-
bly, in western Europe by the fore
