RESEARCH IN BRITAIN
Fresh Water From Sea (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, April 29. The Atomic Energy Authority had been directed to undertake a “substantial programme” of research into getting fresh water from the sea, Mr Frank Cousins, the Minister of Technology, told the House of Commons. The initial emphasis would be on multi-stage flash distillation techniques and associated plant development. The programme would include work on other techniques. The authority would study the possibilities of using nuclear power reactors for generating electricity and supplying steam to large desalination plants. Mr Cousins has decided that the committee on desalination research will advise the authority on research and development into desalination methods. It will not be concerned with specific proposals for the production and use of desalinated water.
