Abstract :
Large atomic power plants that will, simultaneously, produce electricity from the atom and fresh water from the sea were predicted by G. A. Price, chairman of the board of Westinghouse Electric Corp. His remarks were a part of ceremonies at the dedication of new Point Loma, Calif., sea water conversion plant which Westinghouse built for the Office of Saline Water, U. S. Department of the Interior. The plant´s million-gallon-a-day (mgd) output of ultrapure fresh water, distilled from the Pacific by a flash evaporation process, is being added to the city of San Diego´s regular water supply.
