Princip les of Atomic Fission Explained By Rotary Club Speaker The difficult task of explain- ing atomie fission in ternis whicb a layman can understand was bandled very capably by J. L. "Roy" Olsen, an engineer of the Canadian General Elec- tric Company, during an aâ- dress delivered at the regular meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club last Friday. Mr. Olsen is one of that lirm's engineers engaged in the the job of harnessing atonic power for civilian use at Chalk River. Intraduced- by Vice- President Bill Rudell, the speaker stated that the princi- pIes of nuclçur fission are flot as complicated as some people think. Athough the atom was tbougbt ta be the smallest par- ticle af natter until hate in the l9th- century, he said, it bas since been found that there are even smaller particles wbich go together ta make up the atan. A British scientist dis- cavered one of these-the elec- tran-mn 1897. In 1920, anathe.r Englisbman, Rutherfor'd, wark- ing at McGill University, dis- covered the proton: and a third British scientist discov- ered the third component of the atoni-the neutron - in 1932. This discovery wa.s actually the beginning of the Atomic Age, Mr. Olsen stated. Aiphamettes 1.00, 1.85, 3.50 N.C.F.

By splitting this nucleus, a great deal of energy - the most energy known te man-is released. Uranium contains one part in 140 ai a substance called U-235 which enits neutrons spontan- eously at a bigh rate, Mr. Ol- sen said. When a neutron hits a nucleus of U-235 the nucleus spits, emitting a terrifie amount of energy. In addition, from two ta three more neu- trons are born in the process, be said. In turn, these strike other niieleuses, and the pro- cess keeps growlng, setting up a chain reactian which releases terrifie energy carried out in a natter af split seconds. This is the process which creates the devastating power of the atomic bonb. However, the scientists can show this reactian down and control it sa that only one neu- tron is released in a one-for- one ratio. This is what takes place in the atonic reactor, which is alsa known as the atomie pile, Mr. Olsen said.

This controlled process hae the effect of renewing the fuel at -the same time it is being burned. For this reason a par- ticle of U-235 is 10,000 tumes as effective as a partiche of coa] or other fuel of the same weight. "In tîme it can be made 100,000 times as effective or even more effective than that", Mr. Olsen dechared. "Actually an atomic reactor Is the sanie thing as an atomic furnace. The speed, and therefore the beat, of the reaction can be control- led by the scientist and the heat can be used to produce. steani and run a steani generator ta convert the heat into electrical -power". Many Practical lIses Another practical application of atomnic power is in the cobalt bomb used for treating cancer. The radiation of the radioactive cobalt used is controlled se that only the rays which will kili cancer are given off. Ra- dioactive materials can also be used in industry for detecting leaks in piping system and de- termining the thlckness of steel sheets or paper, the speaker said. He stated that Canada now bas one of the best research re- actors in the world and a sec- ond reactor will be flnished at Chalk River this year whicla will be even better. The Cana- dian General Electric Company is now building a power reacter at Des Joachims for Ontario Hydro as well. "Atomnie energy is particu- harly important since the world is using up its supplies of coal and oul at such a terrific rate. These supplies will not hast for- ever. Nuclear energy does flot use itself up hike these fuels do and therefore it will be of in- creasîng importance in thé fu- ture," Mr. Olsen declared. He stressed the terrific heat which resuits from atomic fis- sion, pointing out that a pro- duction of 3,000 degrees la very blgh for ordinary fuels, wbile tbeoretically at least the heat of atamic fission can go up to millions of degrees. The cost of producing atomnic beat and power is now 4he main prob- hem, but he believed that it will nat be many years before atomic power can be produced at a cost comparable to bydro power.

Bowmanvilhe, February 14, 19561 Dear Sir,1 Through the good offices ai your paper I would like toaiar my views on the recent electri- cal by-law that was passed ini Bowmanville council. First let it be known that I arn an elec- trician and bave lived in Bow- manville for the past six years. I belong to the Inter Bro. ai Electrical Workers' Union 894, Osbawa, and have held an Osh-. awa Electrician's licence since they came into force in that cîty and that these words con- stitute my own private opin- ion. First, how was this by-law passed? Well, if we believe what we read in the Canadian Statesman, this by-law consist- ing of 17 different paragraptis, was given three readings and passed in one night's sitting. In the passing of it only one ques- tion was asked by Councillor Brough, "What do the other electricians think ai this?" The answer given by Councillor Higgon was that Goddard Elec-1 trie did not mind and that Mr. Smith was giving up as he was of 111 health.1 I would ike ta point out that at the time of the passing of this by-law, I behd an Electri- Cian's Business Permit for Bow - manville and there was also Mr. Graham of Graham Electric. We were not asked whetber we wouhd go along with this by- law. I would also ike to point out that this by-law concerns not only the businessmen of the trade, but also the ordinary man around town wbo earns bis living as an electrician, yet no one asked their opinion about it, yet it concerns their living. There are certainly more electricians than tb2re are electrical businesses. Next we came to what ap- peared in The Statesman. I forgot the exact words but Coun. Scott asked a question about the by-law and was in- formed by Coun. Higgons that not be put off by people whc» the thing was Government say you ask too many questions, sponsored. I state here and now get to know what is whqt be- that it certainly was not Gov- fore âny more by-laws are pass. ernment sponsored. The truth ed. Don't let themn rush by-lawu of tbe mAtter is that the E.C.A. tbrough like they did the Elec- tried to get this through the trical By-law.
