Karl P. Cohen papers, 1931-2010.
The papers of Karl Cohen include reports, papers, articles, notes, memoranda and correspondence, primarily related to nuclear power generation. The collection has been divided into fourteen series. Cohen's own work, with some declassified items dating from the 1930s and 40s, is contained for the most part in Series 1-4, although his student notebooks are in Series 9, and scientific reprints in Series 11. There are also media-specific series here for photographs, slides, and audiovisual material. The subject file series has been arranged alphabetically, and represent companies, organizations, countries, technical processes, and concerns (such as forecasting, economics, proliferation, and safety) which featured heavily in Cohens career.
