Atom Fishing Boot

ROME, April II (AP)-A
Japanese naval architect has
announced plans for the worlds
first atomic fishing vessel. He
said he hopes his government
will provide the funds to
build it.
Prof. Atsushi Takagi told the
World Fishing Boat Congress
yesterday the vessel would be
a 5000 or 1000 tonner with a
crew of SO sailors and so re-
search experimenters. It would
use an American-type reactor.
The vessel would carry on
fishing operations but its pri-
mary purpose would be for re-
search and training.
Prof. Takagi said the boat
would cost more than 81 mill
lion. He conceded it was an
expensive project, but predicted
eventually smaller and cheaper
small fishing boats.
