further that a man be obtained with about the same qualifications as
Mr. Lillie had five years ago, when he came to the AEC,
Dr. Johnson said that he had little to report on Project Sherwood
Con-~
trolled
The rmno~
nuclear
Program
at this time, but that he would give the GAG @ report at its next
meeting.
In response ‘to a question, Dr. Wigner said that he had not
-
talked with Dr, Spiteer at Princeton about hid project because he under
stood that he was not cleared for this subject,
It was pointed out to
Dr, Wigner by the Chairman and others present that this must be the
a
me
result of a misunderstanding, for his positdon on the GAC required that he have access to everything.
Dr. Johnson gaid that he was sure that
there was no difficulty in this regard, and that if necessary he would
_ communicate with the project leaders.
(Secretary's Note;
On June 17th,
the Division of Research notified the project leaders in writing.)
Dr, Johnson next discussed the plans of the Division of Research
Accel~
erators
to recommend that the Argonne National Laboratory be authorized to make
a study leading toward the construction of a high energy accelerator in
the Midwest.
Dr. Zinn plans to divert about five people from their
present assignments and to employ about five others from the participating .
universities of the Midwest for this study.
Dr. Wigner inquired whether
there were any plans for an accelerator at Oak Ridge. He was told that
they are considering the subject, but have not progressed as far in their .
plans as have the Argonne people.
He agreed that there was an urgent
reason for allowing ANL to go ahead with their plan, but expressed the
hope that something could be done for ORNL later.
Dr, Johnson reported that there were no problems on the pricing of
radioactive and stable isotopes which needed Committee attention, |
