The Leo Brewer papers, 1921-2004, comprise the correspondence, teaching materials, laboratory notes, writings, and research files of renowned chemist Leo Brewer, universally regarded as one of the founders of the field of modern high-temperature chemistry. Brewer served as Professor in the College of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1946-1989, and as Director of the Inorganic Materials Research Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 1961-1975. The collection includes materials documenting Brewer's doctoral research on Mesityl Oxide and his wartime research as a member of the Manhattan Project, as well as his later research on high temperature thermodynamics, materials science, the study of metallic phases, and the development of metallic bonding theory.

This collection of transparencies was used by representatives of the Atomic Energy Commission (A.E.C.) during a presentation before the Alaska House State Affairs Committee, April 4, 1970, in Juneau. At the time of the presentation, the A.E.C. was planning a second underground nuclear test on Amchitka Island in 1971, code-named CANNIKIN. Testimony was heard from several groups against a second test as well as adverse testimony about the first test which took place in October, 1969 and was code n...
