[ Bridie ]
I THINK PROFESSOR JORGENSON
SHOULD OUTLINE HIS PLAN...
:35:29
BEFORE WE MAKE A DECISION.
:35:32
[ Jorgenson ]
SIMPLY STATED, OUR VIEW,
OUR STRONG OPINION, IS THIS:
:35:37
DURING THE LAST WINTER
IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE,
:35:40
RAIN AND SNOW MAY HAVE
WASHED THE AIR, SO TO SPEAK,
:35:43
CAUSING THE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS
TO FALL TO THE GROUND MORE
QUICKLY THAN ANTICIPATED.
:35:48
BUT THE TRANSFER
OF RADIOACTIVITY TO US...
:35:52
WOULD BE PROGRESSIVELY
DECREASED,
:35:54
AND HUMAN LIFE COULD GO ON HERE
OR, AT LEAST, IN ANTARCTICA--
:35:56
THAT'S CLEAR ENOUGH,
PROFESSOR JORGENSON.
:35:58
IT'S A HOPE.
:36:00
WE AGREE AND THE GOVERNMENT
AGREES THAT IT'S WORTH
TRYING TO FIND OUT, ANYHOW.
:36:04
HOW FAR NORTH
COULD A VESSEL PROCEED ?
:36:07
OUR RECOMMENDATION IS THAT
THE SUBMARINE SHOULD GO...
:36:11
AS FAR NORTH IN THE PACIFIC
AS POSSIBLE,
:36:14
TO POINT BARROW,
AND MAKE THE NECESSARY
RADIOACTIVITY READINGS.
:36:19
THE PRIME MINISTER'S
INSTRUCTION, INCIDENTALLY,
:36:21
IS THESAWFISHBE EXPOSED
TO AS FEW DANGERS AS POSSIBLE.
:36:25
COMMANDER,
HOW ABOUT ICE THAT FAR NORTH ?
:36:29
SHE'S NO ICEBREAKER.
WE CAN FEEL OUR WAY.
:36:32
I MAKE IT OVER 13,000 MILES
ROUND TRIP.
:36:36
ENOUGH POWER IN YOUR REACTOR
FOR THAT, COMMANDER ?
:36:38
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
A CONSIDERABLE STOCKPILE
OF URANIUM HERE.
:36:42
ENOUGH FOR TEN TRIPS
LIKE THIS.
:36:44
WISH WE HAD SOMETHING
WE COULD USE IT IN.
:36:46
YOU MIGHT TRY USING IT
IN MY CAR.
