ELECTRICITY FOR THE ATOM— AND FROM IT. It takes a lot of electricity to run this atomic pile for research 'at Brookhaven Laboratory, L. I. Shown is the 5-foot-thick wall through which pure uranium "fuel" is loaded. At the big uranium processing factories, vast quantities of electric power help produce U-235 and plutonium. Five electric companies help power one factory in Kentucky. Fifteen others will supply electricity to a new atomic project in Ohio. But soon the atom will make electricity. Electric company engineers, working with industry and government scientists, have produced atomelectricity experimentally, expect atom-electric plants in 5 years. NEW BUSINESSES, NEW JOBS, NEW OUTLOOK. All over the U. S., local electric companies are helping to spark prosperity and civic pride. Statesboro, Ga., for example, was a prize-winning town in a state-wide improvement program sponsored by the Georgia Power Company. LARGEST PEACETIME CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM ever undertaken by any industry. Electric companies have spent $13 billion since the war, will spend $2% billion this year alone, building more power for America, Completed early this month, the Washington Water Power Company's spectacular dam at Cabinet Gorge (spillway shown above) is one of the few remaining sites where water power can be harnessed economically. (Most new construction is in fuel-burning plants.) Page 40 • November 23, 1953 Broadcasting Telecasting
