This is the job of 31-year-old H. Ward Alter, Supervisor of the Separations Chem istry Unit at the AEC’s Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, which General Electric operates in Schenectady, N. Y. Alter’s Work Is Vital, Important Alter is doing his job well. He has already received the Coffin Award, General Electric’s highest honor, for developing an apparatus that makes possible faster, safer, and more efficient recovery of the valuable elements in the “ash.” The work done by Alter and his group helps lower costs, increase efficiency and ex pand our knowledge of the chemical process ing of spent radioactive fuels. 25,000 College Graduates at General Electric When Alter came to General Electric in 1948, he already knew the work he wanted to do. Like each of the 25,000 college-gradu ate employees, he was given his chance to grow and realize his full potential. For Gen eral Electric has long believed this: When fresh young minds are given freedom to make progress, everybody benefits — the individual, the company, and the country.
