Recently, the Yankee Atomic Electric Company, Environmental Laboratory, has determined the tritium levels in water samples from the environs of several nuclear generating facilities in the New England area by liquid scintillation analysis of high purity tritiated benzene prepared from the water samples to be quantified. A commercially available unit was utilized to facilitate the synthesis of benzene by reacting the water sample with calcium carbide to form tritiated acetylene which is subsequently trimerized on a vanadium catalyst to high purity tritiated benzene.

Of the other three first-round projects, the proposal of the Yankee Atomic Electric Company to build a 175-megawatt electric pressurized-water reactor at Rowe, Massachusetts proceeded most smoothly. Shippingport, then imder construction, also was a pressurized-water reactor, but Yankee Atomic s concept, like Shippingport a Westinghouse reactor, was different because it operated at lower pressures. Delay over a disagreement about the nature of the AEC research md development to be conducted under the proposal hampered the signing of a contract imtil June 1956. Construction went almost on sdiedule and Yankee Atomic began operation in 1960.
