- Description
- While 60-inch cyclotron dee stems are pulled out, Pete McWalters checks the water lines.This was during routine operation of the 60-inch cyclotron in 1961. The 60-inch cyclotron accelerated its last beam on Saturday, June 30, 1962. It began operation ont the same day in 1939, 23 years earlier. After the shutdown, the cyclotron was dismanted and shipped to UC Davis, where it became the basis of a new spiral-ridge accelerator. The 60-inch cyclotron had been the site of many important developments, including the creation of seven new elements; the creation, production and distribution of artificial radioisotopes; tracer experiments; treatment and control of disease; andstudies of the biological effects of radiation.
