What do you want to do with atomic energy at DMS?
Obviously, “build a power plant” is out of the question. There’s a very strict regulatory & licensing regime!
“Build a reactor” is not, assuming the reactor in question is a Farnsworth-type electrostatic-inertial-confinement deuterium-fusion device.
So far as biological experiments are concerned, I have acquired a book on nuclear and radiochemistry, & am waiting on a copy of “Some Applications of Atomic Energy to Plant Science”, contained in the seventh semiannual report of the Atomic Energy Commission, from all the way back in 1951.
I traded a Dalek egg for a pulse-height analyzer, & another for a scintillation counter, so as soon as I can put together a suitable high-voltage power supply, I should be able to start identifying radioactive materials by gamma-ray spectroscopy. This is a very powerful technique.
