Both the British and U.S. atomic energy projects have announced that successful means have been determined for making use of heat drawn directly from experimental nuclear reactors as an incidental source of energy. In November, according to the British Ministry of Supply, a heating system employing coils of pipes carrying water heated by a reactor was put into service to warm an eighty‐room building at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell.
