Hot Cells at General Electrics's Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory

Hot Cells at General Electrics's Vallecitos Atomic Laboratory are used for conducting experiments with highly radioactive material. Such material can be placed in any one of five cells where it can be cut up, ground, polished, etched, dissolved or photographed. Here, supervisors and technicians watch closely as a key part of an experiment nears completion., Credit Line: Photographed for General Electric by Robert Laws Photography , courtesy of AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Physics Today Collection
