SALISBURY, Eng., if, Walter Alcock, until Hot Atom Headache Disposing; of Radioactivity Poses Real Problem By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor UPTON, N.Y. (API One of the worst headaches ever en countered by scientists Is howl this to dispose of "hot" radioactive atoms from 'atomic ovens and atomic generator machines. They cannot be blown Into the air, they cannot be buried In the ground and they cannot be tossed into the sea. Some of them have lives of a century, all the time dangerous, and others for many years. A few last millions of years. There never has been a problem like this before. Any disposal previously known for wastes will leaves these atoms to menace present and future rain generations.

Is not a problem today for the few atoms now in scientific hands are not numerous enough for public risk. But in the future day when atomic power Is generally used, the wastes may amount annual ly to the terrific rays that would come from 10,000 tons of ra dium. Long before that, there will be enough of these radioactive atoms (Isotopes) in medical, scientific and Industrial use to force the discovery of at atomic burying ground. There is no way of quenching radioactivity and, from what physicists now know, there probably never will be. One proposal has been to seal these waste atoms in concrete cylinders and throw them into the sea. Dr. J. E. Rose, of the Argonne laboratory, University of Chicago, discussing this one, said that 100 years hence such cylinders might start breaking open. The atoms, still hot, still alive, would Issue forth to contaminate fish and plants, to be lifted in evaporation from the Does anyone have a sugges- question of how much of this t!nn tnr r amiH en f ci Vit-ir(n rr I e nf f will narKine n4iica erottnH PTnnnrf fnr hot. n trims 9 TVifc wnc rmitoHnne nnrl crt nltAr HprpHttv ; monms ago organist pi bans- the Brookhaven National Labor-bury Cathedral and who played atory of the Atomic Energy for three coronations, died aged commission. 85.
