Electric Power Produced Directly
From Experimental Atomic Device
LOS ALAMOS, N. M., OW —
The first direct conversion of nu-_
clear reactor energy into electric'
power was announced yesterday
by the Los Alamos Scientific Lab
oratory.
The Los Alamos - developed
plasma thermocouple produced
enough power to light an electric
lightbulb for almost 12 hours be
fore it was shut down and dis
mantled for analysis.
The achievement was the result
of an experiment in which the
plasma thermocouple was placed
in the core of a heterogenous re
search reactor, laboratory officals
said.
A thermocuple is a means of
producing electricity by bringing
two different metals into contact,
then cooling one metal and heat
ing the other.
The Los Alamos thermocouple
is the result of a laboratory exper
iment which submitted ionized
cesium gas (the plasma) for one
of the metallic elements. The other
metallic element is enriched ura- i
nium.
The device bypasses the inter
mediate step performed by tur
bines in the present conversion of
nuclear power to electricity. It
also represents a saving in weight,
bulk and complexity over the
turbine-generated electricity.
The experimental plasma ther
mocouple resembled an empty fro
zen fruit juice can. The source of
power was a rod of enriched ura

nium about Vt inch in diameter
and about % inch long.
The rod was suspended in the •
center of the cell and surrounded _
by cesium gas. When the assembly
was lowered into the core of a
reactor the neutron flow activated
uranium fission heating in the
center of the can while the flow
of the reactor coolant around the
outside of the can dropped the
temperature of the cesium plasma.
Laboratory officials said the
implications of the experiment in
future atomic energy develop
ments are enormous as are the
uses of the thermocouple in the
field of nuclear propulsion in both
submarines and space travels.
A team of 10 scientists com-'
pleted the experiment in a little
more than three years.
The Los Alamos scientific lab
oratory is operated by the Univer
sity of California for the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Anchorage Bank Swindlers
Picked Up In Texas
FORT WORTH, Tex., Oh—Texas
officers arrested a Cleburns, Tex.,
couple yesterday on charges of em
bezzling $2,780 from the National
Bank of Alaska in Anchorage.
Olin Joel Click Jr., 26, and his
wife Barbara Sue Click, 23, waived
a hearing on complaints they wil
fully misapplied bank funds for
their own use and conspired to
commit a felony.
The complaints, filed by the
U. S. Attorney in Alaska, alleged
that Mrs'. Click, a bookkeeper at
the bank, furnished her husband
with the name of a depositor, his
signature form and the amount of
money in his account at the bank.
They further acpuse Click of
forging the depositor’s name on a
check for $1,780 and using a fic
titious name as the payee last
October 14.
U. S. Commissioner Pete Van
Orden fixed bond at $10,000 for
each. They were jailed after con
senting to their return to Alaska.
Officers arrested the Clicks at
their dairy farm outside Cleburne,
37 miles south of here in central
Texas. They have two children.
Federal authorities said the couple
returned to Cleburne several
months ago after working in
Alaska.
