about 500 billion found their

tainly. But a dramatic, effec-
tive tool to be considered in
special, extreme cases.
An even newer cancer-fight-
ing weapon went into opera
tion just a month ago at the
Argonne Cancer Hospital in
Chicago. Its mechanism comes
partly from theoretical physics
and partly from radar. Called
"Lineac," it is a igh-energy
particle accelerator using very
high frequency radio waves as
a carrier for a stream of elec-
irons which act as bullets
against deep-seated, inoperable
tumors.
The Lineac shoots out high
powered beams, so every Sec
ond, with each burst of electrons
lasting a hundred-millionth of
a second. Every burst requires
as much electricity as is used
by a city of 100000 population
Lineac's eleetrons do not
reach the extremely high po-
tential of 10 million electron
volts attained by the San Fran
cisco X-ray machine mentioned
in the last article. 1t is almost
as powerful, however-up to Sc
million volts-and somewhat
more versatile.
Scanner Guides Beam
A highly developed scanning
system can bring the beam to
bear on the precise area of the
tumor, thus killing bad cells
without causing too much dam
age to the good.

ton around it, like a sort of
small-scale atom bomb.
Since $4,000 inch is just
about the size of a cancer cell,
one boron-l0 fission incident is
likely to damage only one cell,
or at the most two. The prob
lem became one of getting
boron-10 into cancerous cells
while keeping it out of normal
tissue.
Settles in Cancer
Boron is not like iodine in
having an affinity for certain
parts of the body; it goes all
over. However, it gets into diff
ferent types of tissues at diff
ferent rates. Experimentation
proved that about 40 minutes
after the body receives boron,
the element is most plentiful
in cancerous cells.
This was the reason why,
in the scene that opened this
article, a timekeeper noted the
moment of injection of a
colorlesS solution (Which Incl
dentally contained boron-10)
Forty minutes later it was time
to open the portfolio leading
into the heart of Brookhaven's S
medical reactor and let neu-
irons begin to flow.
In the course of the four
minute treatment, trillioI.s o1

The developers of neutron
therapy are guarded in the
claims they will make for it
They call it bizarre" and
rugged" - something suitable
only for extremely rare cases
They warn that neutron
therapy is not standardized
that the f1ve-year rule on can
Ger cures has not yet had a
chance to run, that it was g
failure in some cases, and that
too little is known about it to
make any very sound predic-
tions. Also, they point out
using a full-scale, million-watt
atomic reactor as a cancer gun
is an expensive business.
Yet the few dramatic results
already obtained by neutron
therapy-notably the case OF
the businesSman-and the
dramatic way these results were
accomplished make this a de-
velopment worthy of particular
note.
Like the Bomb
In essence, neutron therapy
involves the same mechanism
as an atomic bomb or a nucleal
reactor uses-the splitting o.
an atom by means of artificially
produced neutrons.
We have already seen that
certain forms of uranium anC
other substances will split
when attacked by neutrons
giving off energy in the proc
ess. Another substance that
will do this is a nonradioactive
form of the common element
boron, an ingredient of boraS
and boric acid. The useful iso-
tope is boron-10. 1t does not
fission in a way suitable fol
use in bombs and reactors, but
turns out to be ideal for medi-
cal purposes.
When a neutron hits ar
atomic nucleus of boron-10
the resultant splitting creates
a nucleus of lithium-7 and ar
alpha particle. The alpha il

No other major metropolitan
area in the country is more de-
pendent on any single industry
than Detroit is on automobiles,
notes Program Director David

The most disturbing element
involved in this single industry
concentration is that. while we
may expect expanded demand for
motor vehicles in the next de-
cade. there is not likely TO be
an increased need for more man
power within the auto industry.
TO argue that Michigans abb.
