Abstract

Rocket Fuel Stops Corrosion. In Hungary, hydrazine, which was one of the fuel constituents of the German V2 rockets in the last war and which is now used for space rockets, is being used to prevent boiler corrosion in power stations. A new plant at the Inota power station, in western Hungary, is now producing sufficient hydrazine to treat the water of all Hungary's power stations. Only 150 mg. of the chemical is needed to every cubic meter of water, says the newspaper Esti Hirlap.
