The frantic search for the strategic material in the 19jos and Early 1950s sent prospectors scurrying All Over the world in search of it. The trouble How is that the found it in Large quantities principally in South Africa Canad and later in the . Supplies Are currently More than enough Tofill All present demands. Fortunately for South african and Canadian producers the .atomic Energy commission the free world s biggest buyer of uranium made some fairly Long Ter contracts for the material before Large reserves were discovered inthe . These contracts most of which were signed in 1955, Are expected to help stabilize the Market for uranium in Canada for the next four injured in train wreck Jersey City .

Beyond 1965, the future of uranium is about As speculative As the first product of which it was Tho prime ingredient the atomic bomb two of which brought world War ii to a speedy end. The Basic problem in uranium is the slowness with which peace Ful applications of atomic Energy have developed. Nuclear reactors Are not being built fast enough to keep Pace with the War born min ing Industry s capacity to , plutonium a manufactured element from the most abundant natural uranium uranium 238is expected to make uranium far More productive and thus Call for far less of the material. Competitive Power by the same technological Token however some sources believe this will hasten the Day when atomic Energy May be competitive with the More conventional fuels for Power Petroleum and Coal. This would Likely occur first in Britain other european nations and Asia where Coal and Petroleum Are higher priced than in the . Where both materials Are now plentiful. It is pointed out that when and if atomic Energy becomes truly competitive the potential for uranium May become great even enough to tax the productive Powers of All uranium producing areas in the world. In the meantime both Prospect ing and production Are being cur tailed in some areas notably Ca Nada where some facilities have already been closed for Lack of a sufficient Market and High enough Price. \ political Issue the abundant supplies discovered in recent years in the , have put uranium in the american political Arena with legislators from Western states where sup plies Are the largest urging cur tailed imports so that More of the Domestic product May be used. Last year some 5 million tons of uranium Ore were mined in the ., from which concentrates con Taining Abri it 12,500 tons of u-308 were produced. These concentrates were sold to the age for about $238 million. This was nearly Dou ble the production in 1956, and out put this year is expected to show another Sharp gain. The latest available figures on uranium reserves show South Africa leading with 1,100 million ton capable of producing 370,000 tons of u-308, Canada with 376,888,000tons, or 380,000 tons of u-308, and the . With 82.5 million tons or220,000 tons of u-308. Imports of u-308 from South Africa this year Are estimated a about 4,500 tons Down from some 6,500 tons last year but they Are expected to remain near the cur rent level through 1964.

A radio astronomers have a new mystery on their hands great columns of radiating particles which shoot out of the Sun and past the Earth. A single column like this May Betens of thousands of Miles in diameter at the solar surface an May be 10 times As dense As the gaseous material through which it extends As it reaches into space says prof. Ronald n. Bracewell american radio Telescope builder. The columns can materialise in less than a Day and As Many As six have been selected at one time Bracewell said. The mystery is what causes them and what effect they have on the Sun and its family of planets. So far there has been Little More than Guesswork As to the origin. The columns Are detectable be cause they Emit very Short wave 10 centimetre radiation which comes from hot Hydrogen in their makeup. They appear to Start from spots on the Chromosphere or glow ing surface layer of the Sun. These spots Are somewhat hotter than the surrounding surface area which is about 6,000 degrees Centi Grade. The Corona above the sur face is hotter than the Chromo sphere and the solar Interior has a temperature in millions of  s Telescope which is a Cross composed of two lines each having 16 Small dish shaped Anten Nae got a picture of the radiation from these columns when the were particularly noticeable on May 3.
