Science Toeay Next: Muon Communications By JOSEPH V " 1 - """"1 L MYLER WASHINGTON (UPI) 3 - Nu- clear particles capable of penetrating steel and concrete may provide man with a new means of communication superior in many respects to those f now in use. There seems to be no technological reason why they could not be used to transmit messages, sound, and pictures through barriers opaque to some conventional communication carriers. The particles are muons which can be produced in beams by smashing the cores of atoms in particle accelerators. A muon lives only a few millionths of a second, but it Microwave systems require erection of high relay towers a few hundred miles apart to transmispertiut sion c signals which might otherwise escape into space or be blocked by terrain obstacles. Using muons generated by an at Ai6onne, Dr. Arnold sent coded messages for about 450 feet through two yards of dense concrete, a house trailer full of computers, and a metal building. With a shutter, he chopped a beam of muons into Morse code h pulses which were recorded by a particle detector on a chart Neutrinos Are Better Muons normally travel in ht atom-smash- er dot-das- travels long distances before Dr. Richard C. Arnold, a high energy physicist at the Atomic Energy Commission's Argonne (111.) National Laboratory, has demonstrated the muon's abilito transport ty messages through concrete and metal.

Utahn Aids Farmers Favorable Outlook in 70s For Large Diameter Pipe Business By LEROY POPE UPI Business Writer NEW YORK (UPI)-La- rge diameter insulated pipe, hitherto an industrial pigmy, seems likely to be a growth business of the 1970s. The need to haul crude oil over long distances at high temperatures at free flow and to move liquid natural gas, liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen for industrial use at cryogenic temperatures will create the demand, according to Carl S. Menger, president of Triangle Industries, Inc., of Holmdel, N.J. Its Triangle-Pric- e division, a joint venture of with H.C. Price Co. Bartlesville, Okla., is a leader in making and laying ed pipe. In big pipelines, like those to be built to haul oil from Alaska's Arctic sv?e and Canada's Arctic Isles, insulated pipe will serve a double purpose. It will protect the hot oil from freezing atmospheric or the cold temperatures surrounding seawater in the case of pipelines from the Artie isles and it will protect the marine life in the sea and the permafrost soil the pipeline is traversing from being heated with possible harm to the wilderness ecology. Natural gas will move across Canada from the Arctic at temperatures Just below 32 degrees F., so it poses no thermal threat to the environ-men-t. Nevertheless, some stretches of the huge gas pipeline will have to be insulated to keep the gas cool. Plant Operations Cut Whether a pipeline hauls hot oil or cold gases, Menger said the pip can save enormous sums by reducing the number of heating stations or refrigerating stations that must ) built along the route. This is much more important in the case of oil than cryogenic gases. As matters stand now, most cryogenic pipe systems are comparatively short. They are either installations, or haul gases from plants to nearby industries or will be installed to haul liquid natural gas coming from Algeria, Libya or the Soviet Union by refrigerated ship from dockside to regasify-in- g plants. Triangle-Pric- e recently began e installing a oj million ch ng nt Janeiro to serve power plants at Volta Redonda and Santa Cruz. Only one intermediate heating plant had to be built, whereas four mcostly heating would have been stations required with operating crews with uninsulated pipe. h On this Brazilian job, a thick costing of polyure-than-e insulation was applied to has a the pipe.
