A weekly programme about work in the world of science
No Entry — Never! by P. V. Danckwerts
Professor of Chemical Engineering;
Science, Imperial College, London
The advent of atomic energy has presented chemical engineers with some completely novel problems. Some of the materials involved are artificial elements, of which the chemistry was unknown twenty years ago; some must not be allowed to accumulate in any quantity, or they will start a nuclear chain reaction; others are intensely radio-active, and this may mean that once the plant necessary to process them has been built and commissioned it will have to work unserviced and unattended, except by remote controls, throughout its useful life; finally, there is the problem of disposing safely of radio-active wastes. Professor Danckwerts discusses some of the ways in which these problems are being solved.
