* Young scientist
works on new ways
/ to handle “hot”
radioactive fuel
Whenever uranium is “burned” in an atomic
reactor, certain valuable elements such as
plutonium are left behind in the “ash.”
These products are highly radioactive, but
they must be recovered because of their great
value to the atomic energy program.
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.
