HEU Pancake Plates
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The HEU Pancake plates, formerly known as the Jemima plates, were procured in two batches. The first, consisting of the 15” plates, was ordered and produced by LANL in 1958. A second set, consisting of the 21” rings was ordered by LANL but produced by ORNL sometime in the 1960s. The plates were used at LACEF in experiments such as Big Ten and the Zeus series of experiments. In the mid-2000s, they were shipped to NCERC where they reside today. Since being at NCERC, they have been used in Zeus and TEX style experiments.
