USSR OPENS
ATOM POWER |

STATION

By RALPH PARKER

MOSCOW

The world’s first atomic power station is now in operation in the Soviet Union.
With a 5,000-kilowatt capacity, it has been supplying electricity to industry and agri
culture for the past two weeks.

For the first time in the history of* mankind,

ower are being harnessed for creation, not destruction.

This historic advance, of infjn-
itely greater world significance
than the dropping of the first
atom bomb on Hiroshima in
August, 1945, was announced by
the Soviet Council of Ministers

here July 1.

The apnouncement disclosed
that Soviet scientists are at pre-
sent working on projects for
atomic power stations with a cap-
acity of from 50,000 to 100,000
kilowatts.

This is the first time that the
Soviet Government has given
details of its application of
atomic energy to industrial pur-
poses, though frequent refer-
ences to general progress in this
field have been made.

In a speech to the Supreme
Soviet in April, Premier Malen-
kov spoke of “the ever-growing
utilisation of atomic energy both
in the interests of safeguarding
the security of our Motherland
and for peaceful industrial pur-
poses.”

The statement from the Coun-
cil of Ministers said:

“The work of designing and
constructing the first industrial
electric power station using
atomic energy. has at present
been ‘successfully completed by
the efforts of Soviet scientists

and engineers. The station has
a useful capacity of 5,000 kilo-
watts.

“On June 27, 1954, an atomic
4lectrical power station was put
into operation and produced elec
trical current for. industrial un-
dertakings and for agriculture in
the nearby areas.

“For the first time an industrial
turbine is working not due to
burning of coai or other kinds of
fuel, but due. to atomic energy

the mighty resources of, atomic

produced by the fission of the nu-
cleus of the uranium atom.

“By the introduction of an
atomic electric power station, a
definite step has been taken to-
ward the peaceful utilisation of
atomic energy.

“The Soviet scientists and en-
giners are engaged on work to
set up industrial power stations
worked by atomic energy with a
capacity of 50,000-100,000 kilo-
watts.”
