The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, operated by the University of California for the United States Department of Energy, was established in 1952 to do research on nuclear weapons and magnetic fusion energy. Since then, we have added other major programs, including laser fusion and laser isotope separation, biomedical and environmental sciences, and applied energy technology. Our most recent major project, for the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization, is research on the free-electron laser. These programs, in turn, require research in basic scientific disciplines, including chemistry and materials science, computer science and technology, engineering, and physics. The Laboratory also carries out a variety of projects for other federal agencies. Energy and Technology Review is published monthly to report on unclassified work in all our programs.
