INSPECT NEUTRON CHOPPER: Prof. Dietrich H. Vincent of the nuclear engineering department (standing) and Jack Carpenter, research assistant, inspect a mechanical monochromator (neutron chopper) being built with Atomic Energy Commission funds at the base of the Ford Nuclear Reactor. When completed later this fall, the chopper will be used by U-M scientists to study neutron energy and thermal range.

FOR HANDLING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS: This mechanical manipulator, demonstrated here by Mrs. David Weyant (left), technologist, enables researchers to handle highly-dangerous radioactive materials from outside the "caves." Mrs. Weyant demonstrates the versatility of the manipulator by picking up a book of matches, taking one match out, lighting it and then lighting a cigaret (right) for Dean Ralph A. Sawyer of the U-M Graduate School. Prof. Sawyer heads the Phoenix Project.
