APPENDIX II
NUCLEAR ENERGY-RELATED INVESTIGATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

Listed below are a number of areas in which nuclear knowledge or atomic energy products may be used to achieve investigative, developmental, or engineering data and results which would have been unattainable a few years ago. Science fair exhibits may be based on projects in which these nuclear “tools” are employed to help solve problems of a non-nuclear nature. Such exhibits receive consideration for AEC Special Awards at the National Science Fair-International.
