Improved technology could ease shortage
By STEWART BRANN Kansan Staff Reporter
Future developments in technology and an upturn in the U.S. economy could help to relieve the energy crisis, according to Richard Steinmetz, staff research scientist for the Amoco Product Research Co. of Tulsa, Okla.
Stennetz spoke to about 30 people in Lindley Hall Thursday night in a lecture sponsored by the University's deputy director of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
A change to coal as a primary energy source would greatly aid the United States, Steinemt said, because this country and Canada together contain about 50 per cent of the world's oil reserves, per cent. The United States has only 6 per cent of the world's oil reserves, he said.
He said that with advancements in exploratory and drilling technology, along with improved economic conditions, oil companies would be able to drill into the deeper oil deposits lying beneath the earth's surface.
Steinmetz said nuclear power usage was only five per cent of the total U.S. energy consumption from 1970 to 1974, but more money and research would be invested in nuclear power as it became a more important energy alternative.
These areas are almost untouched, he said, but the deposits may never be expanded unless the oil industry can expand its research to develop new recovery methods.
Another promising energy source is in U.S. coal regions. Steinmeyer said.
Oil companies are spending more and making less, Steimetz said. Standard Oil of Indiana, the parent company of Amoco, spent $1.8 billion for exploration in 1974, he
said, a 38 per cent increase from 1973, but net income for 1974 increased only $ \frac{9}{2} $ per cent.
As a result of the imbalance between income and spending, he said, Standard is now limited on the amount of money it can spend for research and new exploration.
Steinmetz said that the U.S. energy shortage was not an "overnight" occurrence and that it resulted partly from a lag in domestic oil industry expansion and a soaring demand for more petroleum in the United States.
U. S. oil consumption is 30 per cent of total world usage, he said, although the U.S. population is only 5 per cent of the world's population.
Industry, transportation and home heating account for 80 per cent of all the oil used in the United States, he said. But if cutbacks are to be made in oil consumption, all oil users will have to sacrifice, Steinmetz said.
"Ther's really no one answer to the problem," Steinmetz said. "Maybe it's something that even our complex, technological society can't take care of."
"Undoubtedly our lifestyle is going to be a simply going to be wasting time in the past."
Disposal of radioactive material studied; professor says human danger minimal
By ARNOLD LYTLE Kansan Staff Reporter
The danger to people from nuclear power plant accidents or exposure to radioactive waste is negligible, according to the report. The University of Pittsburgh physics at the University of Pittsburgh.
Using an elaborate system of mathematical analysis from his own and other studies, Cohen told a physics colloquium here Monday that the danger to form nuclear contamination was far less than the danger faced by cigarette smokers.
Cohen, who is on leave and is working at the Pine Ridge, Tenn., facility of the Atomic Project Commission, has done a study project involving radioactive wastes from reactor reactors.
Cohen said the argument that radioactive wastes could cause damage to future generations was negated by the fact that the wastes can be stored safely underground with only a slight chance of causing contamination.
Cohen said his figures showed that the danger from living near nuclear power plants was less than the danger from breathing in a large city.
Nuclear power plants are the only cheap and practical way to produce the amount of energy needed by the world.
Cohen said that it was easy to form a deductive argument against nuclear power: the certain dangers in handling radioactive material and people therefore could get hurt.
He said, however, that his purpose was
simply to quantify these dangers to
the number of people who might be
 killed by exposure to radiation.
In the United States there have been only seven deaths attributed to radiation sickness since 1940, Cohen said, and all of these were researchers.
Cohen said another danger was that a person exposed to radiation was more likely to develop cancer. But he said this danger of getting cancer may be that faced by a light cigarette smoker.
Cohen said nuclear wastes could be buried 60 meters underground. The half-life of the wastes is such that there would be virtually no danger in 200 years, he said. A half-life is the time required for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.
