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.

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

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.
