university in the entire british common xvelth and is still the bnly one at a canadian university cnnjdrtictiop lagan in the summer of 1057 and involved an expcndfturebtlcarly- two million dollars the purpose of a reactor is to furnish neutroh gamnu rays and radioactive isotopes for use in scientific experiments in the it 1 1 very mysterious ahd little known world of radioactivity kn trance inl the building is very impressive at the side a continuous cloud of steam em erges ai a result of the great en ergy given off by the reactor in the form of heat before enter ing he building itself every student had sign a card and obtain a badge which would show any radiation encountered uugo tho air within the building from he air without td prevent any possible escape of radioactivity the pressure
