Arthur Clayton Menius papers, 1949-1960.
The bulk of the material is from 1950 to 1956, and reflects his work on the design, implementation, and operation of the first United States non-governmental nuclear reactor, which was built on the North Carolina State College campus, as well as the design of a second reactor by Babcock and Wilcox beginning in 1955. Other members of the reactor teams whose work is reflected in the collection are Clifford Beck, Raymond Murray, Newton Underwood, and Arthur Waltner. This collection also contains correspondence, reports, graphs, financial records, and information regarding: the nuclear reactor project at North Carolina State College, Menius' work as part of the North Carolina State's Physics Department; and nuclear experimentation at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. These records also include Menius' research and writings regarding the Manhattan Project, and general nuclear energy issues.
