The Westinghouse Atom Smasher, an early Van de Graaff accelerator built 1937 at the Westinghouse Research Center in Forest Hills, Pennsylvania. The cutaway shows the fabric belts that carry charge up to the mushroom-shaped high voltage electrode.
The Tevatron (background circle), a synchrotron collider type particle accelerator at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), Batavia, Illinois, USA. Shut down in 2011, until 2007 it was the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, accelerating protons to an energy of over 1 TeV (tera electron volts).
National Geographic Channel's World's Toughest Fixes, Season 2 (2010), Episode 6 "Atom Smasher" features the replacement of the last superconducting magnet section in the repair of the collider after the 2008 quench incident.

[18] A US-Japanese trade mission where SSC funding was supposed to be discussed ended in the George H. W. Bush vomiting incident. [18]
Robert Rathbun Wilson Hall. Weston, Illinois, was a community next to Batavia voted out of existence by its village board in 1966 to provide a site for Fermilab. [15]The laboratory was founded in 1969 as the National Accelerator Laboratory; [16] it was renamed in honor of Enrico Fermi in 1974.
Atom Smasher about to crush Kobra. Albert finally gets his dream and is invited to join the reunited JSA under his new name and identity, Atom Smasher. [10] For years, Atom Smasher cherishes his role in upholding Pratt's legacy and constantly seeks to prove himself worthy to his Golden Age idols – especially when many of them became his teammates in the JSA.
Bugorski continued to work as a physicist at the Institute for High Energy Physics and held the post of coordinator of physics experiments. [3] [7] Because of the Soviet Union's policy of maintaining secrecy on nuclear power-related issues, Bugorski did not speak publicly about the accident for over a decade. He continued going to the Moscow ...
