According to Mr. Price, the new Division "will be available to undertake atomic energy projects for the United States Government as well as to carry on independent studies. It will conduct research, development, engineering, and any necessary associated construction." It will work closely with the Westinghouse Research Laboratories and with other divisions of the company so as to benefit from their knowledge, experience, and facilities. Location and other details of organization will be announced later.
