I ROME (U P.) — Prof. Giovan- j
111 i Giorgi, one of Italy's fore
most physicists contends- that
the atomic homb is not a “scion- i
tific" lmt a technical secret and
j
that the. Soviet Union cannot '
produce it “within foreseeable
time." ^
Giorgi. Tti. returned recently
from a government mission to
the United States to investigate
modern methods of the tele
phone industry, lie said the U
1;it d Slates is the only country
which succeeded in producing
"not one lmt many so ruled at
omic bombs" and that it is now
applying radar's “electric eye''
to it.
Giorgi pointed out in an inter
view that lie had write it in his !
hook '•Tip' Smashing of the At
om". that the “secret of the
t cell nip m " of t lie atom horn Ii is
protected !>> a “thousand execu
tive details, every one of which
. . iknown to a different per
-o„."
Reasons l,istcd
lie list •',] three other reasons
for t he “secret”:
1 The necessity of having si
multaneously a large number of’
scientific laboratories directed
by men who have devoted their
lives to a study of nuclear phy
sics.
2—The necessity of providing
mighty industrial plants, the
personnel of which is trained by
devoting all their lives in ac-j
(juiring skill in certain special
operations
:!—The enormous difficulty of |
co-ordinating and integrating
the work of so many persons
and so many specialized techni
cal plants.

system of handling electrical
units named after him and a- '
(iopted throughout, the world
(Das Georgischo Masse System).!
He said that to obtain any of
the “terrible nuclear explosives" !
and utilize them in putting to
gether the A-Homb it, is noees- j
sary to obtain uranium and gra- j
phite and many other products
which are absolutely pure and '
specially treated.
.Many Experts Needed
, To "purify" any on,, of i hose
products lie said, such colossal
industrial plants ns the U. S. Du
Pont Company had to contribute'
their skill. He added that in
such important plants, a “legion
of chemists, physicists an,| tech
nicians" have devoted their lives
to mastering their specially and
bins' machines and instruments
of difficult and complex struct
ure which could not he imitated
without ;t long prepatory peri
od. *
Giorgi emphasized that cer
tain principal operations which
permit the passage from com- i
moil uranium to explosive metals
require “action on each individ
ual atom to detach and .assemble
uii,. by one." He said that to
form one miligram of the pro-!
duct it is necessary to gather so
many atoms as are expressed 1>v
a number formed by a digit fol
low'd by 21 zeros
Otherwise expressed, he ex- i
plained . “if we worked gather- !
ing I5,(H)0 atoms pr second and
continued for two billion years
approximately tip. age of our
planet—we would sucee(i in put- 1
ting together a milligram of the j
product.” He said that to collect j
the lew tens of kilogram* neces- j
sary to make tin atom bomb '
would requite a period equal to ;
the calculated past time of the i
sun, if undertaken individually. ;
“And yet the United States," j
Giorgi said, "lias succeeded in i
combining so many efforts to ob- J
tain not one but many of the so- j
called atom bombs, which now |
are store,] away and held rend
y.”
Problem* Complex
Giorgi who has contacts with '
many American scientists, said
that the Soviet Union could not
produce anything smiilar for a
long time to come.
“I am convinced," he said,
that it is not impossible for an
other , nation even well endowed
—like the Soviet Union, which
has absorbed a great part of
/
Germany—to succeed in produe- i
ing the terrible nuclear explos- :
ives, but not from" one year to '
the next. t would require an
immense amount of effort and ,
a period of time which it is im- ■
possible to foresee."
Giorgi said he believed that
future A-bombs will not be em- t
i
ployed "so simply" as before, •
because “in a future war., the ,
systematic use of new explosives i
would tie tied up with the famed
i leclric eye, an integral part of
radar. in the production of
which other groups of factories
au.l industries of extraordinary
cu'npbx'ty and importance are
engaged.
H*' implied that the Soviets
could not possibly match the TJ.
S. in this field either because
‘‘the production of these radar
instruments of miniature dimen
sions involvngl generators of
millimetrie radio waves” will
take a long time even for the (J.
S. to perfect- He said another
war would see the (‘mergence of
now unpredictable weapons and
that whoever has them would
not announce them to the world
and “no attention slioud be paid
to anything announced publicly ”
