Feed the Hungry Atom - Richard B Christie - Bog

A photograph from a reconnaissance satellite's last orbit showed a large construction project being built in China. Scientists soon realized it was going to be a special type of nuclear site and, with international agreements on the use of atomic energy, the United Nations, and the United States and the World needed to know what it was to be used for. Before long an explanation came that forecast that better food production could result from an unusual nuclear process.
When a US Navy investigation team was assigned to look into it, many unusual explanations and coincidences occurred. From following reports of insider trades, and a seemingly unconnected rescue of some captured archeologists, the questions just kept coming. As new ocean shipping routes were developing, it looked as if something very secret was being built and was to be distributed to locations where it might cause international havoc and political turmoil.
