Work to Start Soon on Government Atomic Laboratory at Schenectady.-
Construction of the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory to be built near Schenectady, N. Y., by the Atomic Energy Commission will start this spring, it has been announced by L. E. Johnston, Area Engineer for the Commission. The laboratory is being erected under the supervision of the General Electric Company, which will operate it for the government when completed. Mr. Johnston said that scientists and engineers will probably begin to occupy the new building by the middle of 1948.
The new atomic laboratory is to be located on part of a 386-acre tract in nearby Niskayuna. On another part of the property the new General Electric Research Laboratory is now rising. The two laboratories, whose work will closely mesh, are to be operated as a unit under the direction of Dr. C. G.
