An International Conference on Nuclear Structure will be held in September at the Weizmann Institute of Science at Rehovoth, Israel, Meyer W. Weisgal, chairman of the Institute Executive Council, said today. He reported considerable interest in international scientific circles on the new method for detecting hidden uranium deposits developed recently by Institute scientists.
Mr. Weisgal noted that Weizmann Institute scientists have made a vital contribution to the progress of peaceful uses of atomic energy by developing means of inexpensive production of heavy water. Agreements between the Weizmann Institute and Great Britain and France have been in effect for a number of years by which the Weizmann Institute supplies the Atomic Energy Commissions of these countries with heavy water.
