Affairs
The Session continued with some further discussion of items earlier
considered,
It was agreed that the Chairman would discuss with the
Chairman of the AEC the need for more complete and more timely information
of the technical problems of policy before the Commission, and the means
whereby this information could effectively be made available to the GAC
(note Appendix B).
Dr. Buckley emphasized his feeling on two specific points:
(1) that the table on page 7 of the ORNL report (giving a breakdown
of the program into subjects of programmatic, non-programmatic,
and miscellaneous character as to budget and fraction classified)
was most informative, and a desirable pattern for future
laboratory reports; and
(2) thet the high budget for the ORNL aircraft reactor project (ANP)
is inconsistent with its low priority, and that this enterprise —
needs reconsideration and reprogramming.
On the latter point it was felt thet since the job is one which requires
very large scale effort if’ properly pursued, it is important to have a
better understanding of its motivation than is now available to the
Committee,
With the adjournment of this Session at 12:20 p.m., the 25th Meeting
of the General Advisory Committee was concluded,
