Energy sources for electric power explored

Recent developments in nuclear energy have given impetus to new methods of supplying electric power and have led to the sponsorship by the AIEE committee on basic sciences of a series of conferences on methods of producing electric power and to the establishment of a subcommittee to investigate energy sources under the chairmanship of W. A. Lewis (F ´45) of the Armour Research Foundation, Chicago, 111. The first conference was held January 29 during the winter meeting with J. D. Tebo (M ´36) chairman of the committee, presiding. An audience of more than 500 was present.
