 : Oil Tanker


Oil Tanker

Feb. 29 The Culham Laboratory open days: Lighting strikes, tanker explosions and space boosters are open to the public this month, at the Culham Laboratories, Abington, Bucks. To illustrate all these varied aspects of their work, the Culham researchers are conducted and funded jointly by U.K.A.E.A. and Euratom and in colaboration with laboratories in Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belguim and Denmark, making a total research effort comparable with that of the U.S.S.R. and of the U.S.A. HTe astrophysics research division of the Radio Research station is located within the Culham Laboratories and a programme of research in solar, stellar and astrophysics can also be witnessed. To put all this in a nutshell Culham exists in pitting its skill and wits in the battle against lightning strikes to aircraft, assisting in space boosters, and the finding out why some oil tankers suffer explosions.
