Ground was broken on September 15 at Brookhaven National Laboratory for the construction of a new uranium‐fueled research reactor to be used primarily for experiments involving neutron beams. It is expected that with only a two‐fold increase in power the new high‐flux beam reactor (HFBR) will produce a neutron flux nearly 100 times more intense than that of the present Brookhaven graphite research reactor.
