Oil Tanker

Feb. 29 The Culham Laboratory open days: Lightning 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.N.A. and Buratom and in collaboration with laboratories in Germany, France, Italy, Netherland, Belguim and Denmark, making a total research effort comparable with that of the U.S.S.R. and of the U.S.A. The astrophysics research division of the Radio and Research station is located within the Culham Laboratories and a programme or research in solar, stellar, and astrophysics can aslo be witnessed.To put all this in a nutshell, Culham exists in pitting its skill and wits in the battle against lightning strikers to aircraft, assisting in space boosters, and the finding out why some oil tankers suffer explosions
