PROGRESS CONTINUES IN THE NUCLEAR FIELD

THE 25th Semiannual Report of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission includes a comprehensive review of the Second World Conference on Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. Even to those who attended the Geneva sessions last summer, the report is revealing, because it was a physical impossibility for any one person to hear and see everything. However, the summary by Sir John Cockcroft, director of the U. K. Atomic Energy Research Establishment, printed in the November 1958 issue of Atoin, the monthly information bulletin of the UKAEA. is a masterpiece. It should be read, along with the AEC account, by all who are interested in the progress of the past three years, particularly in atomic power. The latest AEC report points out that the nation's atomic energy industry continued its gradual growth during 1958. There are senators and congressmen, however, who feel that the rate of growth is far too slow, and their view is shared ...

The Effect of Internal Emitters on Red Cell Survival in Beagle Dogs

Plutonium, radium, radiothorium, and mesothorium deposited internally have produced anemias in beagle dogs. This has been reported in semi-annual and annual progress reports of this laboratory since March, 1953. The pattern produced by plutonium and radium for the first year of exposure has been summarized (1). An associated hemolytic component has been observed in the anemia of chronic bone-marrow failure from other causes (2). The Crs5-tagged red-cell survival method was employed to evaluate a possible hemolytic factor in the anemia of chronic internal irradiation. The acute anemia from external X-ray is mostly the result of capillary leakage of red cells (3-5), but evidence of intravascular red-cell damage has also been demonstrated (6). In dogs studied here an anemia is produced by potent a-, f-, and y-emitters which deliver continuous radiation at close proximity to the bone marrow. The potent ionizing properties of a-irradiation delivered at a cellular level probably represent the chief mode of biologic damage of these isotopes. METHODS

Progress in the Public Interest

THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE'S long-continued campaign to persuade its listed companies to issue more frequent reports to their share owners has been crowned with virtual success. By the end of November a record 90 per cent of all listed companies, 987 out of 1,099, had made written agreements with the Exchange to issue quarterly earnings statements. Of the remaining companies, 76, or 7 per cent, were then issuing semi-annual reports, while 36, or 3 per cent, were reporting only once a year.

Major Activities in the U.S. Atomic Energy Program

What can he officially told about the U.S. atomic energy program is contained in the semiannual reports which the AEC submits to Congress and in the various statements of members of the Commission. This sketch of American progress in the reactor field is based on the mid-year report of the Commission and recent addresses by AEC officials. Other aspects of the program will be described in the December issue.

AEC Semiannual Report

The Thirteenth Semiannual Report of the Atomic Energy Commission, released in January under the title, Assuring Public Safety in Continental Weapons Tests, summarizes the principal activities of the AEC during the last half of 1952 and includes a section of forty-nine pages given over to a discussion of atomic detonations and relevant safety measures carried out at the Commission's test site near Las Vegas, Nevada.

Ninth Semiannual Report of the Usaec: Part Two

In the last issue, we presented a condensation of Part One of the Ninth Semiannual Report. Bennett Boskey, former Deputy General Counsel of the AEC, presents below a summary of Part Two of this latest report.

Ninth Semiannual Report of the USAEC: Part One

The Bulletin has regularly published condensations of the half-yearly reports which the Atomic Energy Commission submits to Congress. Part One of the most recent report has been condensed by Dr. Anthony Turkevich, Associate Professor at the Institute for Nuclear Studies, University of Chicago. Part Two, covering AEC contract policy and operations, will be summarized in our next issue.

International Refugee Organization

The semi-annual report of the Director-General (Kingsley) covering the period from July 1, 1949 to December 31, 1949 stated that during the second half of 1949 the organization had re-established refugees at an average rate of about 27,800 per month. By December 31, 1949 the total had reached 758,923, of whom 68,778 had been repatriated and 690,145 had resettled in new countries. Late in the year, however, severe reductions in the United States and Australian programs intervened, so that in December only 19,043 were resettled. The last six months of 1949 had emphasized programs implementing decisions of the General Council to extend the life of IRO into 1951, establish a series of date lines in order to keep the organization's responsibilities within the limits of the time and funds at its disposal, intensify and broaden the counselling program to obtain as complete and accurate view possible of the task remaining and to budget up to $22,000,000 for use in solving the “hard core” problem.

AEC Seventh Semiannual Report

The Bulletin has regularly published condensations of the half-yearly reports which the Atomic Energy Commission submits to Congress. This most recent report, on the research activities of the Commission, has been condensed by Dr. Anthony Turkevich, Associate Professor at the Institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago.

Following BULLETIN practice, we present a synopsis of the current half-yearly report of the Atomic Energy Commission. The reviewer is Director of the Radioisotope Unit at the Veterans Administration Hospital at Hines, Illinois. During the war Dr. LeRoy was a member of the Joint Commission for the Investigation of the Effects of the Atomic Bomb in Japan.

AEC Fifth Semiannual Report: Sections I and II

Of the semiannual reports which have been made by the Atomic Energy Commission, the Fifth, presented to Congress on February 1, 1949 is the most comprehensive. Its scope is indicated in Mr. Lewis's comments on page 94. The Bulletin, following its practice of publishing extensive selections from these reports, here presents the Foreword and the first two sections. It hopes to give space to other sections in forthcoming issues.
