Zinn, director of the Argonne National Laboratory, presented their papers on "Experience with Nuclear Power Plants."

The article discusses issues and topics concerning the agreement between the U.S., Great Britain and the Soviet Union on the monitoring of nuclear weapons tests during a conference held on November 24, 1959 in Geneva, Switzerland. The negotiations among scientific experts has called for considerations on technical evidence concerning the discovery of underground explosions. In contrast to the success achieved by the international scientific community two years ago, renewed negotiations among scientific experts concerning the discovery of underground explosions have ended in deadlock and mutual recriminations. This paper highlights some of the factors that have led to the failure in Geneva.

The article presents the report of the Soviet Delegation from the proceedings of Technical Working Group II of the Conference on the Discontinuance of Nuclear Weapons Tests on November 24, 1959 in Geneva, Switzerland. Soviet scientists examined, jointly with their American and British colleagues, all the material presented to the Technical Working Group. They considered that the Group's main task, as indicated in its terms of reference, was to develop proposals concerning the use of objective instrument readings as a basis for initiating on-site inspections.

The article highlights the issues and topics discussed during the second conference on the peaceful use of atomic energy, held between September 1 and 13, 1958 in Geneva, Switzerland. The public at large had become accustomed to the miracle of nuclear energy and its devices. In general, the second conference was preceded by somewhat methodical and elaborate preparations involving the scientists and engineers of all countries, in much the same way as are meetings in other fields. It was evident that engineers are now playing a much more important role in the field than they had previously. In addition, it was clear that the participants from the smaller nations of the world were now actively engaged in exploring the possibilities of nuclear energy.

The article focuses on the amount of technical knowledge on nuclear energy research and development as disclosed by leading nations at the Geneva Convention in Switzerland. According to leading physicists and scientists present during the conference, the amount of technical knowledge presented by the U.S. was immensely larger than that disclosed by the Soviet Union. And that the Soviet papers and exhibits showed that they were able to construct, in a competent way, reactors along lines previously developed and published in America.

This article describes the Soviet Atomic Power Cooperation Program by A. N. Lavrishchev, a Soviet Union delegate at the Geneva Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy which was held in Geneva, Switzerland on August 8-20, 1955, in a paper prepared for the conference. In response to an invitation from the Soviet Union government, delegates from various countries visited the Soviet Union in order to see first hand their atomic projects and to discuss the proposed agreements. According to Lavrishchev, all countries signing the agreements will receive radioactive isotopes produced in the Soviet Union. The agreements include provisions for assistance by scientists in the training of personnel.

The article focuses on the history of Conseil Européen por le Recherche Nucléaire, a European organization for nuclear research in Geneva, Switzerland. It was established as a cooperative laboratory on June 7, 1950 wherein the Board of Directors of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, including scientists and executives, unanimously agreed for its construction with two goals in prospect. The goals are to have the best long range accelerator in the world and a rapid building of a definitive machine for experimentation in physics. It started as a provisional type on 1952 and gained its permanent status on July 1953 and is headed by a secretary general and four directors of study groups.

The article presents a speech delivered by Homi J. Bhabha, Secretary to the Government of India and Chairman of the Indian Atomic Energy Commission, to the delegates at the International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Power which was held in Geneva, Switzerland on August 8-20, 1955. He discussed the peaceful uses of atomic energy and to exchange scientific and technical knowledge connected with it.

The article presents a speech by John Cockcroft, Noble prize winner in physics and director of the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, delivered at the Geneva Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Power which was held in Geneva, Switzerland on August 8-20, 1955. He discusses that the conference is the culmination of scientific work of genius men in many nations. Cockcroft announces that there will be demonstration stations that would test the new technology.

This article offers information related to the technical sessions of the Conference on the Peacetime Uses of Atomic Energy which was held in Geneva, Switzerland on August 8-20, 1955. The librarians in charge of the U.S. Technical Library of Atomic Energy Material in the Palais des Nations had an excellent chance to observe the interests of many delegates. There was an absence of talk about political implications of the conference among people. Meanwhile, the U.S. reactor housed in a separate building near the Palais was the most impressive of all the exhibits.

The article discusses the author's perspective on the need for a permanent and workable peace in the world. He points that a peaceful world order must be built around something more concrete by negotiating a series of arms limitation treaties which would culminate in a multilateral agreement bringing about general and complete disarmament. He also mentions that the fate of the Geneva Agreements of 1954 in Switzerland concerning Vietnam is an excellent example of how an elaborate multilateral treaty agreement can be made, simply by the actions of one nation working for what it deemed to be its own self-interest.

This article shares the author's thoughts on the Geneva Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy which was held in Geneva, Switzerland on August 8-20, 1955. According to the author, a preliminary step in the opening of communications had been taken several weeks before the conference. Scientists talked about many aspects of nuclear structure. Based on his observations, Russians have done little work and thinking on low energy theoretical nuclear physics. But, it was clear that the high energy work in Russia has been of the first class.

The article focuses on the significance of abolishing the classification in the atomic power field. According to the author, the field of nuclear power is beset by a broad and unnecessary network of restrictions on the release of information, in many countries. He adds that if the Geneva Conference in Switzerland will be successful, these restrictions must be removed. Thus, the United States should take the lead in removing the barriers to the free flow of information in the field of nuclear power. Moreover, the field of nuclear power is well on the way to becoming an unclassified field. This is because the pressures of American industry are already making themselves strongly felt in this direction, anxious to participate in a field of such obvious promise.

The article presents the technical talk between scientists of East and West on the feasibility of an inspection system for detecting nuclear explosions in Geneva, Switzerland. The talk includes a discussion on the radiological method of collecting radioactive samples, the electromagnetic method, seismic method and the detection of underground nuclear tests. According to earthquake specialists, an international system to detect underground tests is possible if a wide dispersed grid of control stations ranging from 40 to 200 will be put up that will cost from $5 to $100 million.
