Giving cancer treatments at TRIUMF The first treatment of cancer patients began at TRIUMF in Nov­ ember using the negative pion beam from the biomedical channel. In this first series, patients with multiple skin tumour nodules are receiving ten daily treatments. In order to assess the effect of negative pions on human tissue, some of the nodules are being treated with pions and others with X-rays. Only when this is known can treatment of larger, deep-seated tumours com­ mence. The treatments at TRIUMF have been preceded by comprehen­ sive pre-clinical investigations in­ cluding both physical and radiobio­ logical studies, the latter including cultured cells, mice and pigs. Conferences on the horizon The Sixth International Conference on Experimental Meson Spectro­ scopy will be held at Brookhaven on 24-25 April.

  • The Atomic Energy Commission
    The Atomic Energy Commission By Alice Buck July 1983 U.S. Department of Energy Office of Management Office of the Executive Secretariat Office of History and Heritage Resources Introduction Almost a year after World War II ended, Congress established the United States Atomic Energy Commission to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. Reflecting America's postwar optimism, Congress declared that atomic energy should be employed not only in the Nation's defense, but also to promote world peace, improve the public welfare, and strengthen free competition in private enterprise. After long months of intensive debate among politicians, military planners and atomic scientists, President Harry S. Truman confirmed the civilian control of atomic energy by signing the Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946.(1) The provisions of the new Act bore the imprint of the American plan for international control presented to the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission two months earlier by U.S. Representative Bernard Baruch. Although the Baruch proposal for a multinational corporation to develop the peaceful uses of atomic energy failed to win the necessary Soviet support, the concept of combining development, production, and control in one agency found acceptance in the domestic legislation creating the United States Atomic Energy Commission.(2) Congress gave the new civilian Commission extraordinary power and independence to carry out its awesome responsibilities. Five Commissioners appointed by the President would exercise authority for the operation of the Commission, while a general manager, also appointed by the President, would serve as chief executive officer. To provide the Commission exceptional freedom in hiring scientists and professionals, Commission employees would be exempt from the Civil Service system.

April 13, 2011: petition qualified for evaluation . June 9, 2011: NIOSH Evaluation Report issued 2 Petition Overview—cont. NIOSH proposed class to be added to the SEC: All Department of Energy employees, its predecessor agencies, and its contractors and subcontractors who worked in any area of the Ames Laboratory at Iowa State University during the period from January 1 , 1942 through December 31, 1970, for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 work days, occurring either solely under this employment or in combination with work days within the parameters established for one or more classes of employees included in the Special Exposure Cohort. 3 Background . Ames Laboratory is located at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Ames Laboratory is a DOE facility with operations beginning in 1942 and continuing to present. During the World War II years , the primary mission of the Ames Laboratory was the process development and production of uranium and thorium metal. After the war, the mission of the Ames Laboratory shifted to mainly research and development. 4 Background—cont. There currently are three SEC classes associated with the Ames Laboratory: 1. All DOE employees or contractors who workdked at one of the following facilities/locations: Chemistry Annex 1 (also known as “the old women’s gymnasium” and “Little Ankeny ”), Chemistry Annex 2, Chemistry Building (also known as “Gilman Hall”), Research Building, or the Metallurgical Building (also known as “Harley Wilhelm Hall”) from January 1, 1942 through December 31, 1954 (SEC‐0038).

  • Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center
    Fermi National Accelerator LaboratoryFermi National Accelerator Laboratory August 2020 The Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab SQMS brings together world-class experts from 20 institutions to take on one of the biggest challenges in quantum science: extending the lifetimes of quantum states. Advances here will lead to Fermilab and its partners building and operating a revolutionary quantum computer and developing quantum sensors to aid the search for undiscovered particles. The Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, or SQMS, led by Fermilab, brings together national laboratories, academia and industry to make revolutionary advances in quantum computing and sensing, including the building and deployment of a beyond-the-state-of-the-art quantum computer. The quantum devices developed at SQMS will have game-changing impacts in basic science and in our everyday lives. Longer information lifetimes The driving mission of SQMS is to overcome the biggest barrier to the construction of a quantum computer: the short lifetime of the information that lives in a qubit. Qubits are devices that hold quantum information, analogs of the classical computer bit. Today’s highest-performing qubits maintain information for milliseconds—not long enough for a viable quantum computer. SQMS researchers aim to design and fabricate qubits whose coherence times are thousands of times longer. The specially designed qubits will leverage components called superconducting cavities, which were developed for particle accelerators. Fermilab-developed cavities have achieved coherence times of several seconds. By integrating cutting-edge, industry-designed and -fabricated computer chips into these cavities, SQMS collaborators expect to produce qubits with the longest coherence times ever demonstrated.

Removal of plutonium from uranium by molten metal extraction Abstract The extraction of plutonium from molten uranium with immiscible molten metals, silver, lanthanum and cerium, has been investigated. A facility is described in which these experiments on uranium containing 0. 2% plutonium were conducted safely. The distribution coefficients and efficiency of removal from uranium were determined for silver and lanthanum at several temperatures in the range 1175-1375° C and for cerium at 1225o C.
