The offer was made in a pro-posal filed with the Atomic En-ergy Commission by the newly organized High Temperature Re-actor Development Associates. The proposal responded to an AEC invitation to industry to undertake the building of a high temperature, gas-cool- ed nuclear power plant. Announcemtnt that UP&L had joined in the project was made by E. M. Naughton, company president. George M. Gadsby, board chair-man of Utah Power, is vice presi-dent of the development group. Robert E. Ginna of Rochester, N. Y., is president. The 40,000 kilowatt prototype atomic electric plant which the firms propose to build at a cost of $24.5 million was conceived by General Atomic Division of General Dynamics Corp. The high temperature plant would be built somewhere on the system of the Philadelphia Electric Co., one of the members of the group. It is scheduled for completion date in 1962 or early in 1963. The reactor will be a high temperature, gas-coole- d, graph-ite moderated type devised by General Atomic Division of Gen-eral Dynamics Corp. The plan contemplates a reactor with spe-cial advantages for use in gene-ration of electricity including simplicity, low fuel costs, and safety of operation. The development group is non-profit association of investor-owne- d utilities ranging from New York to California. Their offer is contingent on the AEC providing $24.5 million for re-search. Entire cost of the project thus would be $39 million. We've Much to be Thankful For On a November day in 1621 the Pilgrims of Governor Bradford's Plymouth Colony were unanimous in offering thanks to God. Their gratitude was based on a few assets which, by today's standards, would be held small cause for thanksgiving. They had weathered a hard year in the hostile New World. Several of their original band, including their first governor, John Carver, had perished. Yet the survivors saw reason to thank God. The forest beyond their clearing was a source of logs for their cabins, fuel for their fireplaces, wild turkeys and other game for their tables. Perhaps most important: they had harvested a crop of corn, and this staple was their insurance against starvation in the winter ahead. Long before Plymouth, the Aztecs, Mayas and Incas had given thanks for corn, worshiped their corn gods, offered human sacrifices in gratitude for a bumper harvest. , Corn continues today its long record of serving man. This year, an all-tim- e record harvest of 3.7 billion bushels represents, as feed, a bountiful basis for America's supply of meat, milk and eggs. Products made from corn starch, syrup, oil and others have literally hundreds of uses which add to the ease and com-fort of everyday life. A host of foods ranging from bread, baking powder and salad dressing to ice cream, candy and soft drinks contain products of corn. Non-foo- d items that rely on corn for some step of their manufacture include clothing and other fabrics, cigarettes, rugs and carpets, paper, colored inks, adhesives, automotobile parts, gasoline, dynamite, life-savin- g antibiotic drugs and other medicines. Corn Industries Research Foundation points out that corn serves man from the cradle to the grave for a corn product is in baby foods and another in embalming fluid! The Pilgrims, giving thanks for their corn harvest in 1621, could not foresee what a cornucopia of riches the familiar grain (Continued on Page Four) |
