If and when the world’s larg
est atomic power and sea water
desalination plant is built on or
off the coast of Southern Califor
nia, what will it do to the nature
of the ocean nearby?
The Office of Saline Water of
the U. S. Department of the In
terior has contracted with the
Dow Chemical Co. and a team of
Texas A&M oceanographers,
headed by Dr. Willis E. Peque-
gnat, department head, to find
out.
Projected at one of three sites
south of Los Angeles is a huge
combined installation that event
ually will produce 1,800 (cq) mil
lion watts of electricity for the
Los Angeles Department of Wa
ter and Power, the Southern Cali
fornia Edison Co. and the San
Diego Gas Co., and 150 million
gallons of potable water per day
for the Metropolitan Water Dis
trict of Los Angeles to be fed
into the Colorado River water
supply that serves greater Los
Angeles. The installation will
cost more than $400 million.
One of the potential sites, and
the most likely one at present,
would be a man-made island some
4,000 feet offshore opposite Sun
set Beach. The island also would
contain an elaborate marina. The
other two locations are at Corona
del Mar and at Dana Point furth
er down the coast. The Bechtel
Corp. is making engineering and
economic studies to determine
which location would be best.
The A&M team of scientists is
specifically concerned with what
will happen to the region, that is,
the waters off the coast, as a re
sult of the very large discharge
of effluent water, several hun
dred million gallons per day.
This effluent water will have a
high salinity, high temperature,
contain little or no oxygen or
carbonates and will have a lot of
phosphates in it. The surround
ing ocean is relatively shallow.
A&M oceanographers want to
find out, as a highly scientific
study for OSW, what will hap
pen to marine life, both plant and
animal, large and microscopic.
They want also to forecast what
these effluents will do over a
prolonged period of time and to
learn how much area will be af
fected.
No such information is avail
able now. The nuclear power
plant will be three times larger
than any in existence in the U. S.,
and the problems that could arise
from such a large operation could
be significant. No one has such
answers today.
Once the plant is built, A&M
people hope to monitor the opera
tion as a counting study.
For the past six months, A&M
personnel have been making a
detailed study of the offshore
area in order to establish pre
cisely what its oceanographic
characteristics are now as a base
line for later comparisons.
In addition to Pequegnat, these
other A&M people are involved:
Capt. Luis Capurro, former
head of the Naval Oceanographic
Office of Argentina and, at pres
ent, a physical oceanographer
here.
Dr. William Clayton, who is
creating an analog computer
model using all of the data that
can be had of the oceanographic
characteristics of the area and
to which effluent data will be
fed. The computer will be able
to tell the scientists what will
happen.
Dr. Edward Ibert will make
the chemical analyses.
Dr. Leon Berner will work with
Pequegnat in making extensive
biological analyses.
OSW has granted A&M $31,-
000 for the preliminary studies
and it is expected that this sup
port will increase many times
when the pace and scope of the
work increases this year.
Pequegnat says this study is
unique and should provide most
valuable scientific information as
the work progresses.

Two graduate students in the
Department of Meteorology are
writing their theses on “Rain
fall,” but that is as far as the
similarity goes.
Carroll W. Bell of Pittsburg,
Texas, chose for his thesis “The
Study of Rainfall Distribution in
the Middle Brazos Area” which
includes Brazos, Washington,
Milam, Robertson and Burleson
Counties.
Bell started on his thesis in
September and his rainfall
catches will run from the first
of September to the end of Jan
uary. Rainfall is recorded daily
in hopes of determining if there
is a predominant rainfall pat
tern. According to Bell, in Sep
tember the heaviest fell in circles
of a three-to five-mile radius,
as was suspected.
Bell is a research assistant to
Dr. Aylmer H. Thompson, as
sociate professor of the Meteoro
logy department. Here Bell stu
dies cloud formations and records
the humidity in the areas that
have weather stations to try to
derive a theoretical method of
determining the humidity over
the ocean where there are no
weather stations. This project
is being sponsored by the U. S.
Weather Bureau, and Bell is us
ing this job to finance his way
through school.
Bell graduated from Pittsburg
High School and came to Texas
A&M in September of 1947 and
graduated in 1951 with a degree
in animal husbandry. He was
in the ROTC program, received
a contract and went into the
Air Force as a second lieutenant.
He received a senior pilot and
navigators rating and was pro
moted to captain while he was in
the service. He is now a major
in the reserve unit in College
Station.
Bell came back to A&M in
June of 1963, finished his bache
lor’s degree in meteorology in
June of 1965, and hopes to re
ceive his master’s in meteorology
this June.
Bell is a member of the pro
fessional chapter of the Ameri
can Meteorological Society.
The other graduate student is
Donald B. Hodges of New York
City, whose thesis is “An Investi
gation of 3.2 CM Attention of
Sub-Tropical Precipitation
Through Use of a Dual-Frequen
cy Equi-Volume Radar System.”
From his research he will event
ually try to measure rainfall
rates by radar. When a pulse of
radar is sent out and it strikes
raindrops, a certain amount of
power is received back at the sta
tion, but with two different ra
dars two different powers are re
ceived. From this difference
something can be calculated
about the rainfall rate.
Hodges says “the first thing
you must be able to do is measure
accurately the power difference
between the two radars.” He
has just finished comparing two
ways of measuring the power
loss, and found “one method is
no good; the other method may
work but will need further re
search to be definite. If radar
was a more accurate instrument,
it would help.”
After graduating from high
school Hodges attended Queens
College in New York City and
received a BA in history. While
at Queens he was in the ROTC
program, received a contract and
went into the Air Force as a
second lieutentnt. He is now a
captain and is making a career
of the Air Force.
The Air Force sent him to
Pennsylvania State University to
study meteorology, where he re
ceived a B.S. degree. Hodges was
and assigned to a number of
other places and in June of 1964
was sent to A&M. He will grad
uate Saturday with a M.S. degree
in meteorology. From A&M he
will be sent to Fort Ritchie,
Md., where weather forecasting
for the presidential flights is
carried out.
Hodges is also a member of
the professional chapter of the
American Meteorological Society.

and “Dope!” by Maryat Lee, lay
bare the facts and problems of
narcotic addiction.
The plays are timely in that
they deal with an ever-growing
problem confronting today’s
youth — drug addiction.
Both plays are being directed
by Allan Pierce, a local commer

The cast for “Dope” includes
Steve Thurman,. Leon Greene,
Glenn Dromgoole, Tim E. Lane,
Cynthia Smith and Margaret
