Certain other laboratories also deeply concerned with fast reactor tech­nology development and safety are the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), run by the Battelle Memorial Institute; the Liquid Metal Engi­neering Center (LMEC), run by Atomics International Division of North American Rockwell, Inc.; and the Hanford Engineering Development Lab­oratory (HEDL), run by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

These laboratories are also subject to AEC contracts and under commit­ment to the AEC for certain projects. HEDL’s Westinghouse management is now engaged in bringing the FFTF facility into being, while LMEC provides sodium technology information and acts as a clearing house for failure data.
