NEW YORK. April A.
Electric power from the fission-
ing atom will be an economic
reality in the United States in
the SOS, in the view of FIVE
pioneers of atomic energy.
The five made their pre-
dictions yesterday in a discus
sion of nuclear prospects on the
eve of a week-long meeting here
of scientists and industrialists
working to put the atom to
work for peace.
They emphasized that the
places where nuclear power
would be competitive with con-
ventionally generated elec-
tricity in the '60s are the high
cost" power areas of the
country. These are, notably,
the Pacific Northwest and the
New England States.
In 1865 Maybe
DR.. John R. Burning Of COL
umbia University said efforts
to get competitive power ar
bitrarily price-tagged at seven
tenths of a cent kiloWatt-
hour-are nov getting into
the ball park"
"Reactors that will be COM
pleted in 1864 will probably
not produce competitive power. "
Dr.. Burning said. Those fin-
ished in 1965-maybe."
DR.. Walter H. Zinn, former
head of the Argonne National
Laboratory and now an official
of Combustion Engineering,
Inc. set 1896 or 1867" as the
significant date. He stressed,
however. that these would be
large generating plants with ca
pacities of a third of a million
kilowatts or so, and that they
might not produce competitive
power right at the start.
They will be competitive
over their lifetime, though" DR..
Zinn said.

An added stumbling block to
economic nuclear power. DR..
Currie said. is a "15 per cent
rule" applied by most power
companies.
OR. Currie, a chemical en-
gineer, is not the Lauchlin

mist whose political views are

the scientist said). -.-

This means that competitive
atomic power will have to start
in areas that can stand big
plants"
More Cautious
DR.. Clarke Williams of Brook

more cautious in his estimate

any"-but pointed out that ne
was being conservative. The
big question. he said, was the
point in time at which the
rising curve of conventional
fuel costs would cross the fall
ing curve OF atomic energy
prices.
DR.. Edward c. Creutz of Gen.
eral Atomics predicted eco
nomic atomic power in the
next seven years" There is
enough impetus behind the
effort to get 7-mill atomic
power, he said. and this goal
is certain to be achieved
All five experts agreed that
the big problem in attaining
economic use of the atom for
electricity lay in reducing the
effective cost of the fuel. This
fuel-particularly uranium-235
is hundreds of times cheaper
than any fossil fuel" is theory.
In practice. however, only a
tiny fraction of the atomic fuel
can be burned" before the
expensive reprocessing cycle
has to be gone through.
