Plutonium Array Experiments

As part of the DOE/NCSP subtask on "Information Preservation and Dissemination," the original Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory experimental logbooks for the array experiments with 3 kg and 6 kg alpha-phase plutonium metal billets have been digitally scanned and made available here. Many of these experiments have also been evaluated as part of the ongoing DOE/NCS subtask on benchmarking and published in the ICSBEP Handbook.
