The origins of the national laboratoiy network can be traced back to the late 1940s and the beginning of the atomic age. At the end of World War II, the scientific community, particularly the staffs from the Manhattan Project laboratories, lobbied Congress for civilian control of atomic power. Toward this end, the federal government transferred authority from the Army to the newly established Atomic Energy... 

Atomic power production The necessity for avoiding contamination of operative liquids, together with other requirements which must be met in selecting constructional materials in this highly specialised field has resulted in the choice of austenitic steels for applications in heat exchangers, pressure vessels, pipelines and fuel processing.

Why, even interplanetary travel, long the dream of dreamers, could, with the aid of atomic power, at last be seriously attempted thus enabling mankind to exploit the illimitable resources of the whole Solar System and beyond, to the glorification and material as well as spiritual enrichment of all humanity.

Acute biological effects of the Chernobyl accident on local natural resources were documented by Sokolov et al. (1990). They concluded that the most sensitive ecosystems affected at Chernobyl were the soil fauna and pine forest communities and that the bulk of the terrestrial vertebrate community was not adversely affected by released ionizing radiation. Pine forests seemed to be the most sensitive ecosystem. One stand of 400 ha of Pirns silvestris died and probably received a dose of 80 to 100 Gy other stands experienced heavy mortality of 10- to 12-year-old trees and up to 95% necrotization of young shoots. These pines received an estimated dose of 8 to 10 Gy. Abnormal top shoots developed in some Pirns, and these probably received 3 to 4 Gy. In contrast, leafed trees such as birch, oak, and aspen in the Chernobyl Atomic Power Station zone survived undamaged, probably because they are about 10 times more radioresistant than pines. There was no increase in the mutation rate of the spiderwort, (Arabidopsis thaliana) a radiosensitive plant, suggesting that the dose rate was less than 0.05 Gy/h in the Chernobyl locale.

By the term bond, I intend merely to give a more concrete expression to what has received various names from different chemists, such as atomicity, an atomic power, and an equivalent.. .. It is scarcely necessary to remark that by this term I do not intend to convey the idea of any material connection between the ele-...

Europium is used for the capture of thermal neutrons for nuclear control rods in atomic power stations. Thermal neutron absorption of the natural mixture of europium isotopes is 4,600 barns. While its salts are used in coatings for cathode ray tubes in color televisions, organoderivatives are used in NMR spectroscopy.
