Morning Newt, Wilmington, Del. Oct. 11, 1961 71 K) 17 TNT Considered As'Siorm Killer' WASHINGTON CPD. The U.S. Weather Bureau chief said scientists trying to control or kill hurricanes hope to bomb one of the storms with TNT in the next two or three years.

But he made it clear the bureau has no intention of using nuclear bombs on hurricanes until it knows far more about what the "side effects" might be. The Weather Bureau chief, Dr. Francis W. Riechelderfer, said in a lunch speech at the National Press Club, he believes cloud seeding might be more effective than explosions. An H-bomb, he said, might Toy Town Opens Wcilncsclay And Is Magically Changed Into simply intensify a storm.

Radar photographs indicate a segment of the storm's eye wall was rained out as a result. But the wall quickly reformed, the storm's course was not affected, and its intensity was reduced only temporarily if at all, he explained.

The bureau hopes to use a greater quantity of seeding material on some storm far from shore during the 1962 hurricane season. Reichelderfer said he can imagine the posibility some day of exploding a nuclear bomb on a hurricane far at sea. But he said this and the use of conventional explosives are "still in the think stage." THE BUREAU has held informal discussions with the Atomic Energy Commission about the theoretical use of nuclear explosions to kill hurricanes. The AEC has quoted a price of $1 million per megaton of power. A megaton is equivalent to one million tons of TNT.

i Reichelderfer said the bureau will not spend such sums for nuclear bombs 'until we know what we're doing." In any case, he said, it would require changing U.S. policy against atmospheric atomic explosions, and there hasn't been any discussion of that In this connection.
