Heavy Industry in Japan Shows Slump First Half Os 1953 Shows Japan Slump TOKYO, UP — Exports oi Japan’s heavy industry slumped dan-\ gerously in the first half of 1058,; even before effects of the Korean truce were felt. High production costs were blamed for the decline. Japan’s iron-stel industry is losing to strong competition from European producers. The oncebusy shipbuilding industry received not a single order from foreign shipowners in the first half of this* year, the transportation ministry reported. The slump in shipbuilding was blamed on Japan’s inability to cut costs to meet competition from Britain arid West Germany. The price of $l5O a ton offered by European shipyards is less than the Japanese cost of production. Two Prices In an effort to re-enter the innternational shipbuilding market. Japanese shipbuilders are planning to adopt a dual price system selling to foreign buyers at prices substantially below prices for domestic buyers. The Japan Journal of Finance and Commerce reported that the Mitsui Shipbuilding Co. is likely to conclude a contract with an Amer- |

lean firm for construction of a 22,-000-deadweight - ton tanker at a pride between and 8160 per deadweight ton, 20 percent less than the former export price of S2OO, and less than the production cost of SIBO. Japanese steel-makers fear that intensified international competition following the Koreaii \truce \ will worsen the already gloomy export situation for iron-steel products, V Trade Pacts Suffer Japan also is finding it difficult to fullfill trade agreements with Pakistan and Argentina calling for the export of Japanese iron and steel. Though the Japan - Pakistan 1 trade agreement signed in April provides for Japan's export of iron and steel, the prices proposed by Pakistan were lower than Japanese production costs. A month and a half of stalemate in implementing the Japan-Argen-tina trade agreement was settled by Japan accepting 60,000 tons of Argentine wheat at $90.5 per ton, $4.5 higher than the international price, and selling 75.000 tons of semi-processed iron and stßel at $lO3, about 20 percent higher than European prices. The part of the Japan-Argentine agreement calling for the exchange of Japanese pig iron for Argentine wheat has not been fulfilled. Argentina preferring to .take low-priced pig iron from Austria.

College Puts Private Atom Reactor In Use N. Carolina State College First To Use New Reactor RALEIGH, N. C., UP—A dribble of clear yello# uranium 235 fed into a small tube activated the nation’s first privately ovpied, nonsecret atomic reactor at North Carolina State College here and will keep the atomic furnace blasting for dt least 300 years. The reactor, on public view to anyone interested, is a surprisingly small structure that looks like a concrete pillbox. It required 17 hours of painstaking, methodic steps by scientists to make the reactor “critical” — operate under its own power after the precious fuel, on loan from the Atomic Energy Commission was inserted. For Research Big red globes flash continuousip atop the massive concrete structure, showing it is operating. In a remote control room overlooking the sunken chamber housing the reactor is a complicated maze of lights, dials, switches and meters. Needles flicker on the remote control console panels and across the face of equipment lining two walls. There is a constant accompaniment of static indicating minimum radiation continuing within the heart of the reactor even when it had been turned off. The reactor will be devoted exclusively to teaching and research on development of peace-time uses of atomic energy. Can't Explode Dr. Clifford Beck, director and designer of the reactor, started the atomic “furnace” by pushing a tiny lever. There was a gradual increase in the volume and rate of static and needles measuring radiation output moved slowly to the right across several dials. The sound increased. The dials moved farther. Beck pushed another lever boosting radioactivity in much the same way that a driver’s foot on the gas pedal steps up the speed of a car. “At first w’e’ll operate at low levels,” Black explained, "increasing the output gradually. At maxi-l mum power it wiH generate the equivalent in radiation of more thar $200,000,000 worth of radium.” The reactor cannot be made to explode, even if operated at maximum power continuously. Beck said. Built-in safety devices will shut off the reactor automatically in the event the safety instruments detect ; an abnormal operating condition. How It Works The radioactive heart of the reactor is "surrchinded by shielding several times massive thari could ever be necessary," Beck said. Around the stainless steel eplinder containing the diluted uranium 235 are 13 tons of graphite, 13 tons of lead and nearly 200 tons of concrete. The concrete walls are six feet thick. The liquid uranium became radioactive only after a precise amount —about 787 grams — was poured down the tube in alternation with various amounts of water until the steel cylinder contained about four gallons of fluid. \t that time the shape and mass made the reactor "critical.” \j < Radiation of the diluted Urahitim 235 is controlled by two boron rods 12 inches long nad threeluarter inches in diameter. Radiation is atf full power when the rods are withdrawn by remote control levers and is stopped when 'he rods are extended full length into the fuel. Output is controlled ■ y the amount of boron rod exending into the fuel. $380,000 Plant Abound toe face of < oie reactor are about 15 hades eoiered with small doors with combination locks. For experiments, a door can be opened, a concrete plug removed and materials expqped to radiation within the furnace or to a herim of neutrons streaming from the reactor across a space of nearly 30 feet and through a hole In the opposite wall, leading to the ground outside. "The earth itself Is an excellent shielding material to absorb extress radiation,” Beek said. \ v The reactor’s radiation will be used at> a research tool iu cooper-

ation with medical schools, agriculture and agronomy and other studies. One study will be to find out how to “get heat out into effective forms for producing power,” Beck said. The reactor is housed in a $380,000 one-story building which also includes 15 laboratories and an observation room overlooking the sunken reactor. The observation foora has panels of heavy, watercushioned glass.
