Brookhaven National Laboratory interview transcripts, 1966-1986.
Manuscripts of twenty-one video interviews (1982-1986) done in connection with Associated Universities, Inc./Brookhaven National Laboratory (AUI/BNL)'s fortieth anniversary. Most of the interviews, with both employees and others connected with the founding and organization of BNL, relate to the establishment and early history of the laboratory. Includes discussion of the perceived need for a Northeast research center, site selection, and the shift from management by the Manhattan District to the AUI in 1947. Internal operations are covered with material on the Director's Office and the Physics Department. Other topics include accelerators, reactors, instrumentation, and high energy physics. Interviews are with Christian Anderson, Robert F. Bacher, John P. Blewett, George B. Collins, Ernest D. Courant, Lee A. DuBridge, Val L. Fitch, Norris Glasoe, Mariette K. Kuper, J.B. Horner Kuper, Stanley Livingston, Donald E. Mallory, Bernard Manowitz, Philip M. Morse, General Nichols, Martin Plotkin, Robert W. Powell, I.I. Rabi, Henry D. Smyth, William H. Sweet, Gerald Tape and Jerrold Zacharias. Collection also contains a history (1966) of AUI/BNL by Norman F. Ramsay.
A federally funded research laboratory founded in 1947. Operated by Associated Universities, Inc., sponsored by nine northeastern universities under a contract with the United States Department of Energy, the Laboratory conducts research in high energy physics, basic energy sciences, nuclear energy, nuclear and medium energy physics and chemistry, and basic life sciences, including biology and medical use and effects of radiation, radioisotopes, and other nuclear tools. Environmental and energy research emphasizes energy systems analysis, new energy technologies and energy conservation, and reactor safety analyses and safeguards.
