Oak Ridge Atomic Plant
Turns To Works Of Peace
i OAK RIDGE, Tonn., June 14
The RrcHt, shielded oveus
that can make atom bomb In-
Jiredlcnts arc pioneering today
n a new Job producing ma
terial! earmarked to serve
science, medicine and industry
in peacetime.
Th(
fhe army's Manhattan engin
eer district, creators of the
world's deadliest weapon, dis
closed the production envisions
"nationwide distribution" of
radioactive substances made in
tne same furnaces that produced
the heart of the A-bomb.
' And the great ovens, now pro
ducing limited quantities of
these humanitarian by-products
of atomic energy, arc being
geared for the army's objective
of "large scale" availability of
products which they declared
''may well have far-reaching im
portance irt peace-time research
in physics, chemistry, metal
lurgy and the medical sciences."
; Meanwhile, the army an
nounced that hospitals, univer
sities, and similar institutions
01 groups could make immed
iate application for the small
quantities of materials avail
able. , Reasonable Charges
A "reasonable charge" will
be made to "cover the out-of-pocket"
costs to the United
ptates the announcement said.
The announcement said that
while present production would
be increased as rapidly as pos
sible "it will probably be im
possible to meet all the demands
of the country until additional
facilities are built specifically ;
tor (radioactive suDstances) pro
duction. This Is not contem
plated in the immediate future."
Declaring that approximately 1
100 different radioactive sub-1
stances materials that give j
pff invisible rays would be i
obtainable "in varying quanti-'
ties," from the atom bomb pro
ject, the war department's state
ment asserted:
"They will be used In two
important ways:
"First as tracer atoms or
tracers for following the
course of atoms In chemical, bio
logical and technical processes.
"And possibly second, after
considerable research, as thera
peutic (treatment) agents for
treatment of certain special dis
eases." Trace Elements
The reason they can be used
as "tracers" in various scientific
processes is that they can be
mixed with the stable form of
their own element and em
ployed to trace the whereabouts
of that element. The rays given
off by the radioactive isotopes
can be detected by sensitive in
struments, even when the ma
terial -s coursing through the
human body.
Their role as possible ther
apeutic agents in the treatment
of certain diseases stems from
the fact that they emit power
ful rays which may prove to
have a beneficial effect on dis
eased tissue.
Radium is an example of a
radioactive substance that oc
curs in nature. Radium is not
pioduced in the atomic piles.

common elements, such as phos
phorus and iodine, were made
radioactive by being bombarded
with high-speed atomic particles
In an instrument called the
' cyclotron" or atom-smasher
but the quantities produced
aie extremely small.
Radioactive phosphorous al
ready has been used in the treat
ment of leukemia, and radio
active iodine has been employed
against disease of the thyroid
gland.
But the Manhattan scientists
declare that the small quantities
of isotopes produced by cyclo
trons before the war limited the
scope of research done and the
number of persons using radio
isotopes. Long-Time Resident
