Generation of helium studied by KU grad
Research which could yield information on how helium is generated is being conducted by a graduate of the University of Kansas.
David M. Elliot, who came to KU from Charleston, S.C., and earned the B.S. degree in 1961 and the M.S. in 1962, is cooperating with Carl A. Moore at the University of Oklahoma in a project aimed at detecting the amount of radiation in rocks. Elliot, an assistant professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering and director of the nuclear reactor laboratory at the University of Oklahoma, holds a Ph.D. degree from Texas A&M University.

Research will be conducted with the aid of standardized radiation samples acquired from the Atomic Energy Commission.
Elliot said that any information discovered about the generation of helium may lead to more knowledge about the occurrence of uranium ore. Helium is one of the products of the radioactive decay of uranium.
First isolated at KU in 1905 by the late Prof. Hamilton P. Cady, helium is found almost exclusively in an area about 200 miles long stretching from western Kansas into Oklahoma and Texas.
