Abstract :
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.
