dated January 23, 1954: Constructive Use of Atomic Energy

Editorial view: The veil of secrecy that covers atomic development has been lifted a little in Britain by the publication of an official account of her Atomic plants. Description is given in some detail of the three in Lancashire, Cumberland at Cheshire. Millions of pounds have been spent on them to work out a process for separating fissile plutonium from uranium. British engineers believe that nuclear energy can provide power for the country at a cost comparable with that of coal-generated power. Before nuclear fuel becomes available for industry, many problems have to be solved. Britain is doing pioneer work. Modern industrial development depends upon power; the atom promises energy for constructive purposes.
