Private Nuclear Research

Heralded as the “first privately‐financed laboratory dedicated to research in nuclear power”, the newly created Walter Kidde Nuclear Laboratories, Inc. has announced that it will perform research, development, and experimentation in the field of nuclear energy with services to be available to other organizations interested in the design of nuclear power plants or in applications of nuclear technology to their products and processes. A subsidiary of Walter Kidde & Company, Inc., manufacturers of fire protection systems and pneumatic devices for aircraft and marine application, the new organization was established in mid‐April and expects to begin construction shortly of laboratory research facilities on Long Island.
