In 1953, the ACRH was among the initial list of hospitals dedicated to radiation therapy for cancer treatment. [5] [6] At ACRH, the next project for the Skaggs and Lanzl team was the design of a cobalt treatment unit, that was built for the most part, in the machine shops of ACRH and the University of Illinois.

During World War II, he was the associate head of the MIT Radiation Laboratory supporting the national defense and served a two-year period as the organizer of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory. The interruption of the war also required Loomis to restart his building of the physics department as two-thirds of the faculty he added in the 1930s moved ...
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory (in Lemont, Illinois) is a storage-ring-based high-energy X-ray light source facility. It is one of five X-ray light sources owned and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. The APS began operation on March 26, 1995.
The Byron Clean Energy Center is a nuclear power plant located in Ogle County, Illinois, 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the Rock River.The reactor buildings were constructed by Commonwealth Edison and house two Westinghouse Four-Loop [2] pressurized water reactors, Unit 1 and Unit 2, which began operation in September 1985 and August 1987 respectively.
The present reactor operating license was issued April 17, 1987, and will expire September 29, 2026. Plans for a second reactor were shelved. Exelon, the former owner and operator of the present reactor, announced plans to permanently close the power station in June 2017, due to the plants struggles to compete economically in wholesale markets ...
Joan Czerniejewski Sherman is a scientist and Professor of Chemistry. She was considered a pathbreaker by becoming one of the first professors at Florida Institute of Technology (while it was Brevard Engineering College) and one of the first women hired by Radiation Incorporated [1] [2] She became the first woman technical director at Harris Corporation.

Gamma rays were first discovered and studied in 1900 by a French chemist, Paul Villard while observing radiation from radium. [6] However, the first quantitative analysis of gamma radiation is credited to Rutherford and Andrade in 1914. This earliest technique was accomplished by diffraction spectroscopy using a rock-salt crystal. [16]
