Atomic power eyed for peacetime ship travel
A congressional expert believes commercial shipping could become the largest user of atomic energy in peacetime and transform ocean travel. Rep Carl Hinshaw, head of a subcommittee on non military use of atomic power, says reactors generating enough steam heat will be ready in two to three years. Though uranium 235 costs about ten thousand dollars per pound, he argues it will remain economical for ships, as one pound can produce heat equal to 2.6 million pounds of coal.

Shipping Seen As Top User Of Atomic Energy
Hinshaw argues shipping benefits from atomic power with increased cargo capacity, reduced refueling time, and near continuous operation. The Atomic Energy Commission has grown from 6,000 funding in 1940 to a large program employing about 80,000, including 6,700 government workers and 70,000 construction staff, with a procurement list spanning animals to X-ray equipment. Also notes brief items on Senate pages logging miles, AAA data on car breakdowns, and Awaji island octopus as local trivia.
