High Power Fuel Soon Available
A Navy assisted program declares boron hydrogen high energy fuels nearing practical production. Pilot plant work at Callery Chemical Co in Butler County advances research with 4 million dollar facility planned for Lawrenceburg Kansas and a 38 million dollar plant at Muskogee Oklahoma slated for January 1959. Boron hydrogen compounds offer about 50 percent more energy per pound than jet or gasoline fuels and are seen as a bridge toward nuclear propulsion.
