  University of California - National Labs - UC manages three Department of Energy national laboratories that contribute ...
The Lawrence Berkeley laboratory was founded on the UC Berkeley campus in 1931 as an interdisciplinary research center.
With nearly 19,000 employees, the three laboratories have become unparalleled research and development centers whose programs and activities address national interests and concerns in areas such as energy, environment, and health.
The laboratories also contribute to the nation's economic competitiveness through partnerships with industry, and all are leaders in math and science education, helping to enlighten, educate, and train students and teachers at all levels.

  Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory, managed by the University of California, in Livermore, California.
The laboratory's self-described purpose currently is "to promote innovation in the design of our nation's nuclear stockpile through creative science and engineering." The laboratory's field of research has expanded to include general energy issues, as well as biomedicine and environmental science.
The site, at the location of a former World War II Naval Training Station, was originally used to house projects of the University of California Radiation Laboratory which were too large for its location on the hills of Berkeley, California.

 Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Impact Report for Continued Operation of Lawrence
Both Laboratories have, or are in the process of establishing Laboratory-wide pollution prevention and waste minimization plans and procedures that set waste reduction goals for various sections of the Laboratories; and establish criteria for minimizing waste in those areas where goals cannot be set.
External radiation occurs from sources outside the body, including background radiation from natural sources such as cosmic radiation, and from artificial sources, such as chest x rays, to which members of the public are exposed in their daily lives.
Because the Laboratories are the largest known users of radioactive materials in the area, the cumulative impacts including the effects from other sources in the area would be essentially the same as the impacts of the Laboratories alone.

I joined the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory and FPI in 1967, so from this point on, most of the accounts will be from my own memory, subject to the usual errors of time and ability.
There were long contentious club meetings throughout this time, concerned with the issues of relations with the University of California and new airplanes.

 Origin of the Radiation Warning Sign (Trefoil)
The Office of Civil Defense originally intended fallout shelters to use the radiation warning symbol with the circle in the center and the three blades, but this idea was rejected because a fallout shelter represents safety whereas the radiation warning symbol represents a hazard.
The three-bladed radiation warning symbol, as we currently know it, was "doodled" out at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley sometime in 1946 by a small group of people.
To me, the magenta symbol is striking similarity to a commercially available radiation warning sign, used before 1947, that consisted of a small red dot with four or five red lightening bolts radiating outwards, a design very similar to that on electrical hazard warning signs.

Lawrence, convinced that his calutron[?] electromagnetic separation system would be more successful, had closed down the project freeing the Princeton scientists for Los Alamos.

From 1950 to 1952, in the area currently occupied by Building 431, the California Research and Development Corporation constructed the Materials Test Accelerator to demonstrate the feasibility of using high-energy neutrons to produce nuclear materials, such as tritium and plutonium, although these materials were never processed there.
Radioactive and hazardous materials were used in the California Research and Development Corporation facilities at Building 514, and the building housed a decontamination laundry.
