Lawrence Radiation Laboratory

Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, now part of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, was established in 1931 to advance nuclear science and research. It played a key role in developing the first nuclear weapons during World War II through the Manhattan Project. The lab focused on nuclear physics, radiation, and related technologies, contributing significantly to scientific understanding and national security. Today, it continues to conduct research in fields like energy, environmental science, and physics, leveraging advanced technologies to address complex scientific challenges.
