Here's how the world's first economic atomic power may be produced. In predicting competitive atomic power in the next five to ten years, General Electric Company atomic boss Francis K. McCune selects two atomic power plants or reactors as most likely to do the job. Boiling water reactors, above, now under development at the AEC's Argonne National Laboratory, eliminates need for a separate heat turbine-generator.
