Solar Radiation Bursts May Delay Space Program WASHINGTON (NEA) There's growing evidence of a new type of here-today-and-gone-lomorrow radi ation in the heavens that may delay manned space travel for years. This radiation is so deadly at times just 100 or so miles out in space that it would doom to death half the space travelers ex posed for just 30 minutes. Commander Malcolm Ross of the Office of Naval Research says: - "This new radiation tends to make the hazards of the Van Allen radiation belts seem pale by com parison." Though it has not been accurately ' mapped, there is some evidence this ' new radiation occurs about once every two months. It doesn't teem to be predictable though. The time this dangerous radia tion lasts is also erratic. It may eight days, or only one. But the "usual" period of High . danger teems to be from three to seven days. j To protect men in a space ship from this radiation would take a prohibitive amount of lead shielding. It might, in fact, in crease the weight of the actual pace ship itself by several times. Present guessing is that there would have to be three to four inches of lead shielding around a space ship to protect space men adequately during one of these bursts of r a d i a t i 0 n. That added weight would be well beyond the capability of present man-carrying space travel pro grams or even thinking. That means added years in finding a lighter-than-lead protection from the newly-found radiation. Or extra years to perfect blast off engines larger than heretofore thought necessary. This "new" radiation apparently extends all through our solar sys- : tern. It is scattered and made relatively harmless by the earth's , "atmosphere, therefore it doesn't affect us seriously here on earth. No one knows for certain how it occurs. But it is definitely different from the so-called Van Allen belts of radiation around the earth. The .Van Allen belts, though not always "of the same size or intensity, ap parently cover a large but some what limited area in space. This "new" radiation goes on forever through space. ; It occurs in erratic bursts which .leem to be set off by the giant "solar flares" on the sun. The radiation particles themselves seem to be protons the small particles which are the hearts of hydrogen atoms. '. But there is no evidence that all sun eruptions or sun flares let off a shower of these par ticular bombarding particles. So at fcresent there's no way of knowing fchen a space man U going to run nlo a shower of this killing radiation until it's too late. For at the peak, he may if he's well out in space receive radiation at the rate of about 1,000 Roentgens an hour. And that may give him a killing dose in half an hour. This radiation has been studied in cooperation with the Office of Naval Research by a team of scientists at the University of Minn Here Are Some Sketches Of Presidential Hopefuls WASHINGTON ( AP)-Congres-sional leaders 'and presidential contenders will share the spotlight in this election year session.
