Significant Step In Nuclear Power Reduce Electricity Production. Costs LEMONT, 111. W — Scientists today announced a “significant" step forward in the production of electricity from nuclear fission. In the next 10 years, they said, electricity from nuclear sources may be cheap enough to compete with electric power produced by conventional plants. The scientists announced that they have more than doubled the operating power level of the experimental power reactor at Argonne National Laboratory. In experiments, they said, the reactor has turned out power atthe rate of 50,000 kilowatts. Original design output was about 20,000 kilowatts. Theoretically, the scientists said, this means that the cost of producing electricity from the reactor could be cut from 5.2 cents per kilowatt hour to 3.2 cents. The scientists conceded this still would be a long way from competing with commerical power plants of conventional design. Such plants in the Chicago area produce electricity at a cost of about 7.5 mills per kilowatt hour. But Joseph M. Harr er, manager of the Argonne experimental power project, said the figure of 3.2 cents per kilowatt hour "can probably be lowered within the next decade to 10 mills per kilowatt hour." & This, he said, would bring nuclear reactors such as the boiling water reactor at Argonne “into the area of commerical competition with conventional power plants.”

Mrs. Elmer Uhrich, of 910 South Thirteenth street, has been admitted to the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne, where she is being held for observation. She is in room 594.
