Cape Thompson
Blast to Show
Peaceful Atom Use
i Pearse Walsh, local manager for
i Wien Airlines, while in Fairbanks
| recently on company business, met
] with Dr. Harry Keller of Radia
j tion Laboratory of University of
I California and Dr. Vay Shelton of
i the Laboratory’s test division, !
| concerning the Cape Thompson
! atomic blast, the first use in Alas-'
| ka of atomic power for peaceful
j and constructive purposes.
I This project is planned to open
I up a large scale coal and oil re
source, but engineers are thinking
ahead -to using this power for the
creation of a power dam on the
Yukon River.
Walsh reported to the Chamber
of Commerce here that this Cape
Thompson work is planned pri
marily to demonstrate to the pub
lic that nuclear power can be
used for construction.
| Of particular interest here,
stated Walsh, is the possibility of
using this power for mining areas
of low grade minerals, and this
might result in revolutionary
mining methods for the mining in
dustry of Northwestern Alaska.
