Duke Builds High Powered Atomic Shooting Gallery
In Durham Duke University is constructing a high powered nuclear research tank to study atomic nuclei. A 44 by 13 foot steel tank will house a tandem Van de Graaf accelerator and a central positively charged terminal. Protons gain energy in two 7.5 million volt stages to reach 30 million volts and 30,000 miles per second, allowing scientists to peel back atomic layers for core nucleus study by late May.
