Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, August 12, 1970 THE BATTALION McDonald named 41st firemen’s school closed Scientists complete operations Nuclear scientists here have completed drilling 12 one and three-quarter inch holes in the university’s nuclear reactor grid plate to allow more efficient op erations. The Nuclear Science Center, largest in the Southwest with a one megawatt power capacity, will be shut down until mid-August, reports Don Anderson, assistant to center Director Dr. John Ran dall. Drilling began late Wednesday and was completed Thursday morning. Actual drilling time was eight hours, Anderson said. The modification means fuel follower control rods will pass through the grid plate to the re actor core. In the past, the con trol rods did not pass through the plate. Anderson explained the rod placement will produce more re action with the fuel, making op erations more efficient. The reactor was increased in 1968 from 100 kilowatts to one megawatt, giving the facility 10 times greater power. Fuel use increased in direct proportion. During the past two years the reactor has used twice as much fuel as it did during the first seven years, Anderson point ed out. Included in the 1968 modifica tion was changing the core fuel from an MTR Plate to uranium zirconuim hydride fuel rods. Main advantages of the current modifications are the placement of fuel in the center of the re actor core and the ability to set aside six to eight fuel rods while three are being used, Anderson said. Since 1968 the center has been in operation five days a week, 14 hours a day at peak power— 1,000,000 watts. AAFCO official Reed McDonald, director of Feed and Fertilizer Control Serv ices has been elected secretary of the Association of American Feed Control Officials. He was named at the recent meeting of the association in Louisville, Ky. Reed is a past president of the association. Delmer Myers of Trenton, N. J. will head the association during the next year. New directors are Tommy Thompson of Reynolds burg, Ohio, and Robert Guntert of Topeka, Kans. The university closed its 41st Texas Firemen’s Training School last Friday after setting new all- time enrollment records in each of the three one-week schools. Chief Instructor Henry D. Smith of the Texas Engineering Extension Service reports total registration at 2,156, up over 10 per cent from 1969 totals. Spanish-speaking firemen from 10 foreign countries and the U. S. state of Texas and Arizona put out the final fires Friday after noon. Foreign countries represented include Germany, Honduras, Mex ico, Panama, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Columbia, Costi| Rica and Ecuador. Smith said other totals incliil 1,197 from the municipal schooll and 786 for the industrial session I No major injuries were rej ported. “We expect growth every yearl but for some reason this year’s I schools have been exceptional,"! Smith remarked. He added the staff will be nj turning supplies and equipment! during the next few weeks, “And of course, we have al j ready begun plans for next year"] Smith said. wn 0/ ?, C/ ^— J 6/ /V4 L SU v > POLRP.
