Volcanic Action

By Br. Billiard
M.
Vol-
AUSTIN', Texas,- I)r. Fred
Rullar, Fnivci'.ity Texas
eamilogist who has Ix-eii keeping
constant check on volcanic action
in Central America for It years,
plans to expand his research pro-
ject to include Kcuador's \olcano.-.i.
Or. Hull.'U'd is conducting a long
term survey of l.atiu America's
volcanoes for the Pan American
Institute of (ieography and 11 is -
toiy. He makes regular idiservatnm
tii( s to chart each volcano's activ-
ity.
Or. Itilllard and volranologists
working with him ho|>.' their r.<-
earch will somedav enable scieni-
\
iftts to prislict the time of de-
st.tictive volcanic eruptions. Stud-
ies of the volcanoes- will provide
information on some of "the fun-
ilaiuental geological problems in-
volving the nature of the earth's
interior and the origin of moua-
tains," Dr. Itullard said.
On liiii most recent trip he ob-
served Kl Salvador's UaU-o, one
(it the world's mostactive volcanoes.
Izalco, which erupts every tf> to *tt>
minutes, is known as the "Light-
house of the Pm-ific," liecaus# the
j*ed flash - of its eruption can be
seen far out to sea. Or. itullaid
said.
Other active volcanoes Dr. Ihtl-
laid insi-ected were Costa Rica's
P">as. Nicantt'iia's Cmiception and
(iuatemala's Fuego, which erupted
violently last March, destroying
laml and homes.
Central America is part of the
"fire girdle" of the Pacific Ocean,
he explained. That area contains
th.' world's most hrghty-explosiiv
volcanoes, tieologist.s classify vol-
canoes in two categories, the Tug li-
ly-explosive ami the "ijuiet type."
Manuna l.oa in Hawaii is a "ijui.-t
type," for it pours out lava jvit'i-
oiii violent explosions.
Hut the highly-exploaive vol-
canoes Tound in Central and South
America eject gieat clouds of ash
and cinders accompanied by tr -
nu-nilous explosions. Nicaragua
contains the gii*at rst number of
erpliKsive voli-anoes, .'!7, in an ar«a
about as large as three counties
in Texas, Or. Hulhwd said.
Dr. Hullaid explained that l!:c
"fire girdle" follows the west
coastal area of Central America
moving southward toward Petit
and northward along the II. S.
Pacific coast to Alaska. The line
of volcanic activity continues down
from Vlaska to Japan, follow ing

AEC Reorganization Shows'
Atom's Growing Importance
BY DOUGLAS LABSEN
NEA Staff Correspondent
TfTASIIINCTON—(NEA)—A reorganization of the U.S. Atomic
Energy Commission which is now under way reveals the
dramatic progress which has been made in all ureas of the practical,
use of the atom during the past year.
The AEC has now found it necessary to separate its regulatory
functions from it;; program to promote the uses of Atomic energy.
It is creating the new divisions in place of the one unit which has
been doing both of these jobs.
An attorney with considerable experience in atomic law, Harold
L. Price, will head the Division of Licencing uud Regulation. He
has been serving with the AEC in various legal capacities since
1947. • —
"Mo.;t of cur work will be writing and enforcing safety regu-
lations," he explains. "This include.-: regulations for private and
public reactors and developing licensing procedures for the safe
handling and use of radioisotopes, source material and special
nuclear material," he said
IN 195). 16 nuclear reactors were completed by U.S. firms| the
Atomic Industrial Forum reveals This includes seven power-type
an.! nine research and test reactors. In addition, work was started
on 35 power and 24 test and research reactors. Also, the Forum's
annual report reveals—
"American industry signed contracts for the construction of seven
uranium ore processing mills, 13 companies announced plans to
enter the field of nuclear fuel element production and research,
one company l>egan construction of plants tor the production of
zirconium, and two companies completed construction of plants for
he production of beryllium."
Mr. Price's start' will start with about
ANOTHER AEC veteran, Dr. Frank K. Pittman, will head the
new Ottlce of Industrial Development. He has been with the
government's atomic program since 1944. He was in charge of
Plutonium production at Los Alamos, N.W., through June, 1948. i
Dr. Pittman believes that one of the biggest untapped uses for
nuclear materials is in the industrial processing. He cites trie
possibility of preserving foods by radiation as a field which in-
dustry wilt be able to move into profitably soon.
The U S. Army Quartermaster Corps has already done extensive
research in this field with the cooperation of more than 40 firms
It lias been demonstrated that tfll kinds of foods can be kept f"r
many months after they havs been sterilized by radiation.
THE PETROLEUM and chemical industries have already started
using production methods which require nuclear materials and
Dr. Pittman plans to encourage more study by industry of this field.
"We know that radiation production techniques will permit you
to do things with materials which can't be done any other way,"
he says. New metals and new chemicals for hundreds of special
uses can be made by nuclear processing methods, he claims
Ten new firms were created last year to get into some part of
the nuclear energy field. And many big firms added nuclear
divisions to promote various pliases of atomic work. Four firm*
applied to tiie AEC tor permission to sell radioactive waste dis-
posal services, for example.
- A total of 1,400 AEC permits have been granted for access to
nuclear information. More than 70 per cent are held by firms,
while the rest have been given to schools and individuals.
Hundreds more access applications are pending. Dr. Pittman
