The First Ten Years at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
17 October 2018 @ 14:00 - 17:00
In the early 50’s renowned physicists E.O. Lawrence and Edward Teller argued for the creation of a second laboratory to augment the efforts of the laboratory at Los Alamos. The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was established in 1952 at the height of the Cold War to meet urgent national security needs by advancing nuclear weapons science and technology. Tom Ramos has researched the history of LLNL from the Laboratory’s Archives and he has brought out new perspectives of the weapons program that have been little understood until now. Tom will present a historical view of the Laboratory’s first ten years.
