July Public Trial
Seen for Powers

MOSCOW. June 16 (AP).-
The Soviet Union plans a pub
lie trial for U-2 Pilot Francis
Gary Powers, probably starting
early in July, usually reliable
sources said last night. The
United States Embassy said it
had a similar report.
"The trial will not be on
July 4 Americas national
holiday-but it likely will be
an open trial." a source said.
The Soviet Government
charges Mr.. Powers with espi-
ohage in a U-2 reconnaissance
plane flight over Soviet terri
tory May /, a Soviet holiday.
The Russians say he was shot
down by a rocket over Sverd-
lovsk, deep inside the Soviet
Union, and later confessed to
spying.
Neither the date nor the
place could be learned.
Americans have made re-
peated requests to see Mr.. Pow
ers, but Soviet authorities have
not granted permission.

pIg QLnerence les In what Is
done with the water.
Westinghouse keeps 1t under
tremendous pressure, about
1000 pounds to the square inch,
to prevent its boiling as it circu-
lates through the reactor. This
extremely hot water creates
steam in a secondary circuit
which spins a turbine to gen.
crate electricity.
General Electric, on the other
hand, prefers to use only about
1000 pounds pressure and let
the water boil. The steam in
this primary circuit goes di-
rectly into the turbine, elm
mating the need for a heat
exchanger.
Many reactor and power ex-
pertS object to both types as
inherently impractical. Ger
tainly the steam temperatures
in both-between 500 and 500
degrees-do not satisfy modern
boiler technology. and do not
approach the heats available
in conventional steam plants.
This objection leads many
persons to believe that wher-
ever the bright future OF atomic
power may lie, the road to that
future does, not go via either
Shippingport or Vallecitos. Be
that as it may, these two types
have come far enough now that
hardheaded power men are
willing to bet on them to the
tune of many millions of dol
lars.
The atomic power reactor is
at the point today where the
salient question is not so much
How can we do it2" as How
can we do it more cheaply?"

power.

Miss Bakers MANAGER
Links Agent to Theft

MONTREAL, June 16 (AP)
"A New York agent who
brought theft charges against
Negro Entertainer Josephine
Baker was arrested yesterday
on similar charges.
Miss Bakers manager, Steve
Papich, signed a warrant
charging Agent William l..
Taub of New York with taking
about $500 in United States
currency and sheet music
valued at $500 from Papich's
hotel room.
Papich claimed the theft oc-
CURED while he and Miss Baker
were being arraigned in Grim
inal Court on charges of bring
ing $4,000 worth of stolen
goods into Canada.
Taub said in his warrant the
allegedly stolen items included

on the tree passage OF neuCrons.
Designers knew that zir-
conium, a fairly scarce metal.
had these characteristics. How
ever, commercially available
chromium was always adulter-
ated with a small amount of
another metal, hafnium-and
hafnium did soak up neutrons,
poisoning" the reaction.
Metallurgists finally devised
a way of producing hafnium-
free chromium, but this process
was almost prohibitivelv ex-
pensive. They decided to sac
rifice a little "neutron econ
omy" and use stainless steel
instead.
Inside a nuclear reactor,
however, stainless" Is not
really stainless at all. 1t ac-
cumulates a black deposit in
elegantly called "crud." which
affects the heat transfer be-
tween fuel and coolant. Also,
to get the same performance
from a reactor using stainless
steel, a more highly enriched
fuel was needed, and this was
more expensive. Either way, it
cost money.
Constant Compromise
So it went all down the line.
theoretically. a reactor de-
signer could never compro-
mise quality or purity; prac-
tically, he was forced to COM
promise at every turn. The
compromises are. still going on,
as reactor technology gradu-
ates from the purely expert
mental to the almost practical.
First use OF nuclear power
for electricity came in 1851,
when a building at the Ma
tional Reactor Testing Station
in Idaho was lighted by a gen.
orator tied into a reactor. The
lighting of the town of Arco,
Idaho, followed in 1854. But
these were no more than
stunts. The first real land
mark of nuclear power in the
United States came at Ship
pingport, Pa, late in 1857.
Shippingport was an electri-
cal station by accident. It's
Evening star., 1960-06-16

1t was almost as though there
was a chain reaction" of
trouble in building a reactor,
as well as a chain reaction of
f1sSion in operating it.
For example, it was known
that uranium would corrode
in the presence of water.
Obviously, then, any uranium
fuel used with a water mod
erator-coolant would have to
be protected. The protective
cover, of course, would have
to be corrosion-reSistant itself,
and also should have no effect

reactor started out to be the
power plant Of a Navy cruiser,
but the high command changed
its mind. The Atomic Energy
Commission talked the Du-
queSne Power & Light Co. and
the Westinghouse Electric
Corp. into a three-way part
nership to build and operate
the reactor for power purposes.
The Shippingport plant is
outlandishly expensive to run;
its power costs about IL times
as much as conventional cur
rent. But as the first large.
scale power station it has given
utility companies some inter-
eSting information.
Break-Even Nears
While Shippingport itself is
not economical, and never will
be, there are signs that some
of its descendants may even
tually produce electricity at the
break-even point. A later and
larger reactor of this type, at
Rowe in Western Massachusetts,,
may qualify after it has oper-
ated for a few years.
Running a course of develop
ment parallel to the Shipping
port type, developed by West
inghouSe, is a line of reactors
built by General Electric which
has its origin in a small ex-
perimental plant at Vallecitos,
near San Jose, Calf. A third
generation" Vallecitos type, due
to start operating at Eureka,
Calf, in about two years, may
also eventually produce COM
petitive power.
1t should be stressed that
Western Massachusetts and
Northern California are among
the higheSt-cost areas for con-
ventional fuel in the country
1t is understandable that when
the first break-even point is
reached, it will be in a locality
where conventional fuels are
costly.
Different Techniques
Both the Shippingport and
Vallecitos reactors are moder-
ated and cooled by water. The
