MoreThis collection contains North Carolina's site proposal, a feasibility assessment, notes, United States Department of Energy Environmental Impact Statements, audiocassettes, and videocassettes, and a few other related items pertaining to the development, design, and siting of a Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) was to be a ring particle accelerator, proton-proton collider, and high-energy physics laboratory that was to have had a ring circumference of fifty-four miles. It was initially suggested in 1982 by a National Reference Designs Study with its design completed and construction approved by 1987. North Carolina was considered as a possible location for the massive project, but a site in Texas was selected. The project was cancelled by Congress in 1993.
