The passage discusses the economic and industrial implications of different power sources for aluminum smelters, particularly focusing on Alcan's plan to build a smelter in Invergordon using coal. The plan is seen as a competitive alternative to nuclear power, especially for smaller stations. Additionally, Alcan's potential repayment of war debts to the British government and its plans to build another smelter in Japan are highlighted. The text also mentions the other aluminum companies' preference for nuclear power and the expanding Japanese market for aluminum. The second part of the passage provides an analysis of mortality rates in England and Wales from 1959 to 1963, showing that the overall death rate was slightly higher for males than for females. The data is broken down by region, urban and rural areas, and various age groups, with rural areas generally having lower death rates. The Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMRs) are used to compare actual deaths with expected deaths, and the report notes that mortality was highest in the northwestern region. The third part discusses the findings from a report on hospital discharges and lengths of stay in 1964, noting an increase in the number of patients discharged and a decrease in average hospital stays compared to previous years. The report includes detailed tables on patient characteristics, diagnoses, and admission sources, providing valuable data for hospital services and community health assessments. An innovation in the tables is the detailed analysis of accidents leading to hospital admissions, with head injuries being a significant category.The passage discusses the economic and industrial implications of different power sources for aluminum smelters, particularly focusing on Alcan's plan to build a smelter in Invergordon using coal.
