Senator Thye seeks Minnesota site for atomic research lab
Sen Thye requests the Atomic Energy Commission to consider the old Gopher Ordnance Works in Rosemount as location for an atomic research laboratory. The 8000 acre site is federally funded for the University of Minnesota and nearby infrastructure would reduce costs. A research center could place Minnesota at forefront of commercial atomic and nuclear development. The plant has seen limited use by the University of Minnesota hospital, but a larger lab would vastly broaden activities.
