Argonne Open House 2009
THANK YOU!
The Nuclear Engineering Division thanks all participants which contributed to make a success of the Open House event.
Argonne opened its gates to the community on Saturday, August 29, from
9am to 4:30pm.
NE actively
participated in this event with activities inside and outside Building 208, the home of the Nuclear
Engineering Division.
Inside building 208
KEYWORDS:
Nuclear Engineering; National Security; Environment, Safety and Health
- Learn how a nuclear reactor works.
- Learn how nuclear energy can help meet America’s needs for safe and secure energy without contributing to global warming.
- Visit the nuclear energy history exhibit that highlights
our pioneering role in developing peaceful uses of nuclear technology used by major nuclear power
plants throughout the world.
Don't miss the opportunity to explore the exhibit which, in the words of "Nuclear News" magazine, "taking advantage of advances in computer- generated graphics and displays artifacts dating back to the Manhattan Project, is a fascinating trip that starts with the dawn of the nuclear age and travels through the history of Argonne’s unique role in the development of nuclear power".
Tell me more about it…
Argonne’s newly renovated Nuclear Energy Exhibit is featured in:
Argonne's Nuclear Energy
Exhibit - at the EESA web
site.
The five-page article (and photos) from the April 2009 issue of Nuclear News covering the December 2,
2008 grand reopening of the exhibit is also available:
