Lilienthal Debunks Communist Charge On Atomic Heat Promise
In Detroit on October 6, David Lilienthal, chair of the atomic energy commission, disputed rumors that the United States could heat Europe with atomic furnaces while blocking such power for imperial aims. He warned the U S still lacks a practical atomic plant plan and expects 8 to 10 years for a demonstration, with a bulb or motor possibly lit in 12 to 24 months. He invited industry to join peacetime atomic development, noted a large expansion program at Hanford and other centers, and confirmed a $2.5 billion national spend. He also signaled a green light for new power plants, while avoiding direct naming of communists.
