The 1963 Clean Air Act is a step in the right direction, but the fragmentation of political responsibility for air pollu- tion control and the economic impedi- ments to strong controls presently hind- er efforts to avoid what could very easily become a major national disaster. Joseph A. Lieberman (Division of Reactor Development and Technology, Atomic Energy Commission) will concentrate on the expected growth of nuclear power and tne quantities of radioactive material this growth will entail. He will review and examine the environmental aspects of the in- creasing use of nuclear power for the generation of electricity and discuss what is now being done to control the problems related to the radioactive fis- sion products produced during nuclear plant operation. Athelstan F. Spilhaus (Institute of Technology, University of Minnesota) has devised a wholly new concept whereby industry instead of concentrat- ing on the products it produces, also considers what is left over or discarded and makes use of this. It is a closing of the loop with reduced pollution as one end result. The traditional job of industry has been the supplying of things to contribute to the "ease" of our living. A polluted environment loaded with the discards of "ease" causes "'dis-ease"—sometimes . in the physical sense, more than likely con- tributes to mental disease, but unques- tionably to the larger definition of dis- ease as opposed to ease. American scientists are concerned about environmental pollution—very seriously concerned. They are upset about what they find about them now and what they can predict for the fu- ture. They want to and must contribute a major increment to the solution of what has become the major environ- mental problem facing mankind. Man made the
