Early devices - fission and fusion

I haven't posted in a while, but just to get things started again, I pulled a couple early items. The first is an early research reactor, the Aerojet-General Mechanics AGN-201. Two of these reactors are still under NRC license: since 1957 at  Texas A & M and 1966 at the University of New Mexico. The UNM license was renewed in 2011.

Our other item is the "Stellerator", on a card from the Smithsonian Institution. This device was displayed at the Atoms for Peace Conference in Geneva in 1958.
