	Cockcroft, Sir John, The Miracle of Atomic Energy
		This is one modest by-product of the early Harwell research.
		Research into the possibility of obtaining power from the fusion together of the light elements is one of the most exciting though long-term projects at Harwell.
		When I worked in the Cavendish Laboratory in the 1930's on the transmutation of atomic nuclei we used to judge somewhat empirically the intensity of the radiation to which we were exposed by holding up a screen covered with zinc sulphide which glows under irradiation.

	Atomic Energy Research Establishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atomic Energy Research Establishment near Harwell, Oxfordshire was the main centre for atomic energy research and development in the United Kingdom from the 1940s to the 1990s.
		In 1945 John Cockcroft was asked to set up a research laboratory in order to further the use of atomic reactions for generating energy.
		He chose a wartime airfield, RAF Harwell, some sixteen miles south of Oxford near Didcot, and on 1 January 1946 the Atomic Energy Research Establishment (AERE) was formed, coming under the Ministry of Supply.

	Atomic Weapons Establishment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston (formerly the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment, Aldermaston) is situated in the UK, just 7 miles north of Basingstoke and approximately 14 miles south-west of Reading, Berkshire, near a village called Aldermaston, bordering with Tadley.
		Other Atomic Weapons Establishment sites could be found at Burghfield and Cardiff, the former Royal Ordnance Factories, although Cardiff is now closed.
		The main output of this facility is that of plutonium fissile materials for the use in nuclear warheads.

	Feature
		The intention was to start research and training in all possible branches in the peaceful uses of Atomic Energy with emphasis in physical sciences and later, shift the laboratories in biological sciences to new locations, whenever possible.
		Researches in Nuclear Agriculture had already started in Jute Research Laboratory, later in a rented building, named Atomic Energy Agricultural Research Centre (AEARC), from 1961 and with the completion of AECD,AEARC was integrated with AECD as Agriculture Division.
		Now the energy is too low for competitive nuclear research and is effectively used as a producer of protons, deuterons and alpha particle beams for researches and studies in applied fields, especially for multi-elemental analysis of environmental, biological, agricultural and technological samples.

		Following postdoctoral positions at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell, U.K. and the University of Pittsburgh, he taught for several years at the University of Sussex and at the American University of Beirut, Lebanon.
		Goodings research interests are now in the area of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, particularly in the active field known as "quantum chaos".
		Their research has shown that there is an element of deterministic chaos in normal heart rhythms, although the evidence is not strong or persistent.

	Prize Presentation - Physics 1951
		The analysis made by Cockcroft and Walton of the energy relations in a transmutation is of particular interest, because a verification was provided by this analysis for Einstein's law concerning the equivalence of mass and energy.
		Energy is liberated in the transmutation of lithium, because the total kinetic energy of the helium nuclei produced is greater than that of the original nuclei.
		According to Einstein's law, this gain in energy must be paid for by a corresponding loss in the mass of the atomic nuclei.

	Guardian \| Clive Grove-Palmer
		He was presiding over the wave energy programme at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment at Harwell, near Oxford, in 1982 when the programme was destroyed by government intervention, to clear the way for prime minister Margaret Thatcher's nuclear programme.
		With Nigel (later Lord) Lawson as energy secretary, and David Mellor as his deputy, a conference on the future of wave power was held at the civil service centre for secret briefings at Sunningdale, Surrey, and, to his amazement and dismay, Grove-Palmer was excluded.
		Wave energy was regarded as a particular threat because it was designed for huge power stations out at sea, demanding major investment, feeding the national grid and replacing both conventional and nuclear sources, both of which had been represented around the table at Sunningdale.

		In this lecture hall, the fundamentals of atomic energy are explained, often by reference to British experimental pile nought, affectionately known as BEPO - the forerunner of every uranium graphite pile now working in Britain.
		Like every other part of the Atomic Energy Authority’s work, this chemical process for separating plutonium is under constant review at Harwell and already the research men are experimenting with a revolutionary smelting process as a possible alternative to chemical methods.
		The huge globe at Dounreay is a symbol of Britain’s atomic progress but it and the breeder power reactors of the future to produce electricity of the benefit of mankind are founded on the manifold skills that British engineers have won over 200 years.

	Nobel Prize in Physics 1951 - Presentation Speech
		Some of the helium nuclei had enough energy to overcome the repelling electric field and to penetrate into the nitrogen nucleus, in those rare cases when they struck such a nucleus.
		Energy is liberated in the transmutation of lithium, because the total kinetic energy of the helium nuclei produced is greater than that of the original nuclei.
		According to Einstein's law, this gain in energy must be paid for by a corresponding loss in the mass of the atomic nuclei.

		The Atomic Energy Authority Bill was introduced in the House of Commons by Minister of Work Sir David Eccles yesterday and has been published today to update legislation passed in 1946, when the first facilities were established.
		It described the growing importance of atomic energy and the variety of commercial applications for it which suggested it would be better run as a large industrial facility than by a government department.
		Changes began at the beginning of the year when responsibility for atomic energy was moved from the Minister of Supply to the Lord President of the Council, Lord Salisbury, a non-departmental post.
