Signed Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory KAPL CHART OF NUCLIDES & ISOTOPES 70"x40"

Description

Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL)
Chart of Nuclides
70" x 40" Wall Chart
This is a RARE find.....this is a 70" x 40" Chart of Nuclides produced by the Knolls Atomic Power Lab
This one is signed in the top left corner by several of the scientists that prepared this chart for publication
There is very minor damage to the upper left edge...see pics....2 small tears along top edge (could be easily repaired/taped from backside)
Overall chart is in exceptional condition
If you are not familiar with this chart.....here is a little history.....
Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory
(
KAPL
) is an American research and development facility based in
Niskayuna, New York
and
dedicated to the support of the US
Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program
.
[1]
KAPL was instituted in 1946 under a contract between
General Electric
and the
United States government
. In the 21st century, KAPL is a government-owned, contractor-operated laboratory for the
US Department of Energy
. KAPL is responsible for the research, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of U.S. nuclear-powered warships.
The
Chart of the Nuclides
, containing information such as masses, relative abundances, half-lives, neutron cross sections, and decay properties for more than 3,100
nuclides
and 580 isomers was developed at KAPL. This chart is a necessity for students and professionals in
nuclear physics
,
chemistry
,
engineering
, and
medicine
around the world. The Chart has been compiled, edited and periodically revised by KAPL scientists since 1956.
The Chart presents the key nuclear properties of every known stable and radioactive form of each element. It has been compiled, edited, and periodically revised by KAPL scientists since 1956. This 17th Edition was published in 2010, superseding the 16th Edition from 2002 and all previous versions.
The Chart is a plot of nuclides, arranged with their atomic numbers along the vertical axis and their neutron number along the horizontal axis. Information such as masses, relative abundances, half-lives, neutron cross sections and decay properties, is given for 2,900 nuclides. Color coding is used to emphasize half-lives and neutron absorption properties.
