Nuclear Power for Submarines Faces Technical Hurdles
Pittsburgh coverage notes experts doubt a commercially viable nuclear reactor soon. Submarine use could allow indefinite underwater cruising, but shipboard design must rethink fuel, weight, and space. Westinghouse, Argonne, and the AEC develop a test reactor at Bettis and Snake River sites, with naval vessels as the target, not yet a submarine.

Clouds Are Home Of Cosmic Rays
New York UP report summarizes Dr. Enrico Fermi's theory that cosmic rays originate in interstellar galactic clouds carrying magnetic fields. Protons accelerated by fast moving fields could reach energies from one billion to one million times, challenging sun or distant-star origins.

Scientists Probe Nucleus Forces At Berkeley Meeting
Dr. Robert Serber of the University of California radiation lab told the American Physical Society that scientists still struggle to explain why atomic nuclei stay bound. Despite smashing atoms with large cyclotrons, they find space between parts and acknowledge mysteries deeper than prior beliefs.
