ATOMIC ENERGY FOR ELECTRIC POWER.—A model of an atomic energy power plant, prepared by the North American Aviation Atomic Energy Research Department for the United States Information Agency, which will be shown in the “Atoms For the Benefit of Mankind” exhibition in the world fair at Sao Paulo, Brazil, soon. The model shows the general layout of a nuclear power plant to produce electricity for domestic and industrial use. Though the model is not scheduled to be built, plans for a sodium-graphite reactor to produce 20,000 kilowatts of heat, as part of a programme to develop economical electricity from atomic energy, have been announced in the United States. Dr. William Abbott (left) and Dr, William Parkins, two American nuclear physicists, are shown with the model.
