Brookhaven National Laboratory.
Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor Document Archives, 1950-1968.
The collection documents the research conducted at the Brookhaven Graphite Research Reactor which resulted in a basic understanding of the atom, new isotopes for medicine, understanding the effects of radiation, and the development of new materials.
Brookhaven National Laboratory was established in 1947 by a consortium of nine universities known as the Associated Universities, Inc. The goal was to develop a government-owned university-operated laboratory for the peaceful research of nuclear science. The first major project was to design and build a research reactor that would be accessible for multiple scientific disciplines. The BGRR was designed for that purpose and came online in 1950 and operated until 1968.
