New Zealand Seeks Steam For Power 1 Probing Unique Natural Resource WAIRAKEI, N. 2., UP —Painstaking New Zealand scientists, taking a cue from Italy, are quietly probing a unique natural resource that may rival uranium for cheap power. New Zealand is 'looking for the "white gold" of natural geothermal steam —great gobs of low pressure. wet steam — from bores punched into the "hot’’ ground of her North Island. New Zealand scientists, wildcat- i

ting here in “Vulcan's boiler,” since 1951 have tapped 20.000 potential horsepower from 15 bores in two ’ projects to complete the first phase of their long-range scheme. These are shallow bores —between about 500 and 1,000 feet —at Wairakei and Te Teko, in the tourist wonderland of the world’s largest know’n geo-thermal area of 1,000 square miles. The secohd (phase, now under way, will determine whether deeper bores, drilled with heavy Ameri- ! can rigs, will produce mbre economical powet through greater steam pressures. , These bores, below 1.500 feet’, will tell how deep drilling can go before intense heat (already exceeding 250 degrees centigrade! 1 finally halts all progress by baking ! the drilling mudi Outcome of these

But they expect it wrill run into man(y thousands of horsepower. A spectacular by-product of geo-thermal power will be heavy water, which is used as a moderator in atomic piles. i ' Working with British atomic scientists, New Zealand plans to develop a dollar-earning heavy water production simply by erecting special geat whiph will subject the steam to a process of multiple disi ,

Charles Turner, chief engineer of the works department of f \’ew Zealand, explained about geo-ther-mal stegm: > “Once you break through the outer skin of boiler.’ you’ve got your sourcWmf power. After that you dan't pay odt for fuel. The job then is simply to harness the power. "Here in New Zealand it costs us today between $l4O to S2BO per kilowatt to build hydroelectric plants. If we make steam, thte fuel bill alone—coal or oil —for a 135,000 h.p. plant would cost us over $3,000,000’ a year. Ml! I II

“We are now determining the cost of finding our ‘boiler’ to produce each I.OOP kilowatts of power. The cost to date I cannot disclose, but it could be most attractive.” i r ‘ - Boston Pioneered •; ■ BOSTON, UP — Boston was tending to the juvenile delinquency problem years before the rest of the Vnited States tackled it.
