The Argonne National Laboratory

This article describing the history, organization, and future plans of the Argonne National Laboratory is the first of a series on the AEC laboratories which the editors hope to present in the course of the next few months. Dr. Daniels was Director of the Metallurgical Laboratory at Chicago from July 1945 to July 1946 when he returned to his chair of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Daniels retired in May as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Argonne Laboratory, a position he has held since its establishment, but retains his membership on the Board.
