Title: Magnet of the 184-inch machine
Description: The magnet of the 184-inch machine testing alpha calutron tanks. To the right is the vertical-pole XA prototype test magnet for isotope separation. Among results obtained with the 184-inch magnet was a design superior to it for large-scale calutrons, the so-called "XA." The prototype of the magnets to be installed at Oak Ridge, XA was a rectangular, three-coil magnet giving a horizontal field in which the calutron tanks could stand side-by-side. It had room for four alpha tanks, each with a double source. (The preceding information was excerpted from the text of the Fall 1981 issue of LBL Newsmagazine.)
