United States Atomic Energy Commission USAEC

In 1973, the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) conducted an intensive investigation into its research efforts relating to the development of nuclear power. The conclusion reached by the environmental team was that the environmental behaviour and long-term fate of the transuranium elements had not been addressed in an effective way. This conclusion prompted the USAEC to develop an investigative programme. Some important landmarks in the environmental research which led to the eventual separation and determination of the plutonium oxidation states in the aquatic environment were ... 

Heavy-water production in Canada began on a small scale in a plant operated by Cominco for the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC) in 1944 (14) and continued until 1956. This was also a period of initial research into heavy-water processes at CRNL (15). By the mid-1950 s the USAEC and the E. I. Dupont de Nemours and Company had put into operation two large, heavy-water plants using the GS process. The...

In 1948, David Lilienthal, chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC), publicly informed President Harry Truman that cobalt was likely to become a readily available, inexpensive substitute for radium. USAEC officials predicted that it would take two to three years to standardize dosages so that patients could be treated. "... 

An active program for the development and demonstration of BWRs with nuclear steam reheat was implemented and directed by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC). Two general types of the reactors were pursued ...
