Show Wdnttoy, Fbrvary Py 18, 1987 collider 4. from page one Until June, Brophy had served as the chair of the Sure Advisory Council for Science and Technology through which plans for attracting the project are being carried out. U. Physics Professor Eugene Loh serves as the chair of the council's subcommittee on the supercollider. "The collider will be a national laboratory with close to 2,500 employees, half of which will be scientists," Loh said In addition, there will be about 1,500 users, graduati students and professors, who will be conducting researcl there. As the closest university to the project, the U. would likely develop the largest graduate program in the world, he said "Approximately 500 graduate students would be coming to study just thermal dynamics alone, Loh said. Loh said the collider would not only invigorate the U. but also expand Utah's industry as businesses would form to take advantage of the facility and the expertise of scientist, faculty and graduate students. "The industrial center that would be formed here would surpass Silicon Valley in California or Route 128 in Massachusetts." The state has already spent $250,000 on geological, soil, seismic and other studies to assess the scientific merits of Utah for the project. "Utah has a good dark horse chance of getting the collider," Brophy said. "I say dark horse because we are a small state and lack some of the amenities that are important to the infrastructure of the project." "However, Utah ranks very high in scientific aspect including the availability or large areas of flat land, in w hich a tunnel can be constructed without drilling through rock." Other advantages to Utah include a nearby international airport and research institution and the accessibility of power and water for the project, Peterson said. "We are among the top four or five states in terms of scientific considerations. X'c arc not Berkeley, but our land is better than Berkeley's," he said. Brophy said the Department of Energy will issue a criteria document outlining the scientific requirements for the project. Tithin the next two weeks the Legislature will vote on a resolution allocating SI million for scientific testing to evaluate how Utah measures up to those requirements. The information will be assembled and submitted to the DOE as a proposal for the project. Several other states have already appropriated similar amounts for their proposals, Brophy said. August is the deadline for submission. The DOE will review all the proposals and select three to six finalist. "Essentially what they will be saying is that the collider could be built in any of those three to six areas," Brophy said. "It's not said openly, but after that, the decision of w hich state receives the collider will be political." Because Utah carries less political clout than other contenders, such as Texas or Illinois, the state is hoping to create a "consortium of intermountain or western states," he said. "Under such an alliance, if Utah were to lose the supercollider to California, we would support them, but if we won, we would have the support of the other states," Peterson said. . "The best place for the collider in an area that straddles just west of Salt Lake," Brophy said. 1-- 80 Our Assembly Candidates Academic Counseling Bond, Joseph Education Butler. Todd Davey.
