.AEcStillSeekingCo Cause
Of Deaths at Reoctor...t

A complete analysis" of the
Ecore Of an atomic reactor In
Idaho must be made before the
cause Of o fatal accident
January 3 can be determined
with certainty. -,-.=
DR.. Frank <. Pittman, head
Of the Atomic Energy Conamis-
sion's division of reactor de-
velopment, said today that it l.
still far too early to, say posi-
lively what caused the in.
|cident, which brought sudden
death to three military tech
nicians.
DR.. Pittman discussed the
accident involving an Army
stationary low-power reactor al
. meeting Of about $50 atomic
experts at the Aces German.
town (Md.) headquarters. The
meeting was called at the re-
quest Of the Atomic Industrial
Forum, an organization Of con.
Germs active in the nuclear
power business.
Investigation Continues
An investigation that beSar
shortly after the accident il
still going on. Dr.. Pittman said
Until the inquiry is finished
he said, the cause and responsi-
bility cannot be fixed.
There is a great deal we de
not know about this accident,
Robert Hollingsworth,. Acc
deputy general manager said
AS far as Is known, the run.
away chain reaction that ap.
parently caused the death oi
the three men has ceased and
the reactor is no longer criti.

Radioactivity Persists
Dr.. Pittman said 1t was not
known why there has been no
appreciable decay" Of radio
activity. He speculated that It
might be due to long-lived fis-
sion products from the reactor
core. although the probability
that the core itself is now ex.
posed was also advanced as q
reason.
Radioactivity equivalent to a
ton Of radium was inside the
core at the moment the disaster
occurred. DR.. Ptttnan said it
has been calculated that i Der
cent Of this radioactivity was
now strewn around the floor of
the $3.5 million reactor building.
The force Of the explosion
which killed two men instantly
and brought death to q third
within an hour was graphically
illustrated by DR.. Pittman. He
said that one and q halt, bill
lion billion atomic fissions had
been involved in the accident.
This was equivalent to f6 Sec
onds Of normal reactor opera
ton, and occurred within an
exceeding small fraction Of one
second. -.
This excursion" has been
definitely pinpointed as the
cause Of the blast which Killed
the men. The mystery remains
as to what caused the 1sxcur-
sion. .....

To keep order in the car,

HAVANA, Aug. Is (AP).-
Eastern Air Lines crewmen and

plane a final checkup today
before flying it back to the
United States.
A $4,000 hijacked Cuban
patrol boat, Swapped for the

night from Key West.
A 10-man airline crew arrived
in Havana yesterday to fly
back the Lockheed Electra, hi

Officials at Havana's Jose
Marti Airport said the plane
would take off sometime to-
day, after Servicing.
The patrol boat, seized by
Cuban refugees to reach Flor
ida four days after the plane
was hijacked, left Key West
for Cuba yesterday under a
plane-for- boat deal worked out
by the United States and Cuba.
Three Cuban sailors manned
the 38-foot craft. The Coast
Guard escorted the vessel to
Americas three-mile limit and
returned several guns that were
aboard the boat when it reached
