L. Sunshine. The GAC was much impressed by the presentation end complimented Dr. Libby. It is felt that for the first time the show is on the road. There is enough evidence to emse concern, and the AKC should support SUNSHINE. The program looks sensible, sane, and definite. Dr. Sayth expressed eur thanks to the GAC and to Dr. Libby. The Cog raan asked if we knew enough to put a redflaz on CASTLE. Dr. Libby said our ignorance is such thet the range of possibilities casts a shadow on aaneae but that we should prebably go ahead. There is no money problem et present. BEST AVAILABLE coPY 5. Reactors. Dr. Rabi said that / & superb presentation of various views was made. The consensus is in favor of development of civilian power -- and, in a reactor which would produce significant anounte of power. The Puk seems a good direction in which to go, but the development mibe around a scheme were the cost per installed kw. would be in the range of other meas, 0.€., SO% more = g couple of millions more. da The GAC is pleased that the Commission/sewedup the SRE, 2 The Comalttes, perhaps waninously, felt that the design should be studied carefully, but that we should net proceed with construction 4f the cost per installed kw. exceeded, say, $320. The Committee considered various types ef subsidies - direct, eost of raw materials, purchase ef by-products. A large majority felt that subsidy is necessary to stert the industry. Dr. libby sald there was a wide spectrum of opinion. He feels that civilian power is far eff and that we should stress ether civilian uses. he likes the Pak for possibile Navy uses. Dr. Whitean said he did not quite agrees with Dr. Rebi's state~ment about getting down to a definite cost per kv.3 rather, we should try to build enly if the design promises a reactor in the ball park of economic power. Dr. Murphree said that if the design won't extrapolate to a reactor of, say, 300,000 kwat about 6300 per ins, we should not proceed with that design. Research development is excluded, DOE ARCHIVES 55,000 kw. on Dr. Murphree's basis should eost about $33,000,000.
