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.

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.
