6 collections related to Nuclear engineering

The collection contains correspondence, reports, graphs, financial records, and information regarding the nuclear reactor project at North Carolina State College, North Carolina State's Physics Department, and nuclear experimentation at Los Alamos. These records include Menius' research and writings regarding the Manhattan Project, general nuclear energy issues, and the nuclear reactor at North Carolina State College. A. C. Menius, Jr., was a physicist, professor, and dean of the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina. Less

The Jerome Kohl Papers contains paper records, photographs, and video tapes from 1942 to 1995 that detail Kohl's long career in the evolving fields of nuclear energy and technology transfer. Reference and lecture materials show the intellectual milieu in which Kohl was immersed. His publications demonstrate the way he synthesized that information and his own research into the kinds of ideas that engineering and science education journals found publishable. Documents relating to the contracts and consultancy work he undertook reflect both his and the nuclear industry's research interests, as well as the manner in which a scientist went about obtaining money and support from the 1950s to the early 1990s. The collection also sheds light on the peacetime uses of nuclear power in general, as well as the people and state and federal agencies involved in its forward movement and regulation. In addition, it shows the development of North Carolina State University's Nuclear Engineering department and its extension program. Other items of interest include the large group of photographs and other materials from Tracerlab from the early 1950s through the 1960s; and an assortment of material on the Sierra Club on both the national and local levels, especially relating to its positions on energy policy.

The North Carolina State University, College of Engineering, Department of Nuclear Engineering Records include correspondence, short course materials, minutes, contracts, budget information, brochures, and subject files relating to the United States Atomic Energy Commission, teaching of nuclear engineering, the nuclear reactor on campus (1950s), and the Nuclear Engineering program. The Nuclear Engineering program at North Carolina State University continues its traditional role in educational leadership and innovation. Over the years, the program has sought to meet the needs of the time and to anticipate future developments. The department is home to the first university-based nuclear reactor for teaching and research, which continues to provide graduates with the hands-on experience needed for professions in utility companies, government energy and defense agencies, national laboratories, nuclear plants and private companies.

The Thomas S. Elleman Papers contains correspondence, lecture notes, research articles, journals, publications, annual reports, slides, and transparencies related to nuclear engineering and radiation. Materials are dated 1958 to 2005. Thomas S. Elleman (1931-2010) attended Denison University in Granville, Ohio, graduating in 1953 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. He then accepted an Ames Laboratory Research Fellowship through Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa where he received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry in 1957. In his first professional position, at Battelle Memorial Institute, a contract research laboratory in Columbus, Ohio, he worked on nuclear fuel development, radioisotopes applications, and radiation effects. He departed Battelle in 1964 as Associate Head of the Chemical Physics Department to become Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Less
