Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, January 28, 1970 THE BATTALION Legislators Hear Report on A&M ’iNuplex" Studies THE B A briefing Saturday on Texas A&M’s “Nuplex” study opened hearings for the state legislative committee studying possible widespread use of nuclear de salination processes in meeting Texas’ future water needs. “The idea of using nuclear en ergy for desalination and power generation holds definite prom ise for the future,” noted Rep. Dave Finney of Fort Worth fol lowing the meeting. Rep. Finney heads the five- man interim committee formed by the Texas House of Repre sentatives last year. Other mem bers are Reps. W. R. Archer Jr. of Houston, Hudson Moyer of Amarillo, Tom Niland of El Paso and John Wright of Grand Prairie. “The decline in the supply of fossil fuels forces us to search for other sources of energy,” Finney observed. “We need to w start planning now — and we must not think small.” “Nuplex,” Texas A&M officials explained, is a coined word de scribing a large complex con sisting of a nuclear power re actor, electric production, water desalination, chemical processing and production, agriculture and associated activities. The “Nuplex” concept, they said, represents a new and much larger dimension in totally inter related enterprises based on low- c o s t abundant electricity and water. Technical briefings were pre sented by Dr. A. D. Suttle Jr., A&M’s vice president for re search and director of its Cyclo tron Institute; Gen. A. R. Lue- decke, associate engineering; dean and former general manager of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com mission, and Dr. R. E. Wainerdi, also an associate engineering dean and head of the Activation Analysis Research Laboratory. “Assuming the research basic to the building of such a complex were successful,” Dr. Suttle re marked, “the unprecedented size of such energy centers, together with a vastly upgraded technol ogy in desalting and in nuclear energy generation, allows one to project lower costs and unusual methods for using the plant out put.” Gen. Luedecke reviewed present research efforts throughout the country. “The purpose of our efforts to date,” the general said, “has been to study the current state of technology against the backdrop of the total problem of a nuclear- agro-industrial complex.” Throughout the study, he add ed, notations have been made of particular areas of research and technology and economics and management in which the uni versity’s talents and capabilities could be applied. A Following the briefing, the legislators toured Texas A&M’s nuclear facilities — cyclotron, nu clear reactor and activation an alysis laboratory — and data processing center and environ mental engineering laboratory, alY of which might be used in long-range studies.
