Our site was called GE Neutron Devices and we made neutron generators and RTG's or Radioisotopic thermoelectric generators. We also had Tritium and Plutonium at our site.
GE got out of the business in 1994 and we became employees of Martin Marietta and then Lockheed Martin in 1995-6. Our plant was built in 1957 and they closed it and moved production to Sandia labs in NM. Like these people (pictured) we had golf leagues and other events throughout the year. I was an Industrial Hygienist and t was great environment for that type work. DOE closed the site in 1997 and now it houses Raytheon and other smaller businesses. Our director was a physicist and there were all types of engineers and chemists. I would add that DOE is having me do physicals every three years as a follow up.
