Detailed typed response to the questionnaire, in which Hanson discusses his family and early education; advanced education at the University of North Dakota, where he earned his bachelor's degree, a teaching certificate and a Master's degree; his move to the University of Wisconsin to work with Raymond G. Herb on the 4 MeV electrostatic generator; his World War II work at Los Alamos measuring neutron multiplication with John Williams and his presence at the Trinity test; a list of his principal achievements, discussed in some detail; funding; and committee work with the National Research Council, National Bureau of Standards, Review of Scientific Instruments, Stanford Medical School, and the Argonne Microtron Proposal. Hanson also discusses his perception of public attitudes towards science and what he feels is the most important advance in nuclear physics. File also includes curriculum vitae and list of publications.
