[edit] S-50 merged here

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/S-50. Johnleemk | Talk 10:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

S-50 was merged here, but that merger was a mistake. The S-50 facility had nothing to do with ORNL, other than also being located in Oak Ridge. Since the S-50 facility was located adjacent to K-25, some time back someone merged the S-50 information into the K-25 article. S-50 still redirects to ORNL, which is unfortunate since there is no information about it in this article. I changed several S-50 links to point instead to K-25; the only S-50 references that still point to "[[S-50]]" are on AfD or Talk pages. --orlady 17:32, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
The S-50 redirect was pointing here. I just changed it to K-25. --A. B. (talk) 17:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Human Radiation Experiments

I believe that the following paragraph would fit better in the ORISE and/or ORAU category, since the investigation focused on the hospital operated by ORINS.

In 1981, a committee chaired by Tenessee Congressman Al Gore investigated total radiation studies at Oak Ridge. (See Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments)

  • Actually, information about the investigations probably belongs in the articles about ORNL and the other institutions. My point is that ORNL is only one of several MED/AEC/DOE facilities in Oak Ridge. "At Oak Ridge" does not mean the same thing as "at ORNL." --orlady 16:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leet haxor breaks atom!

The ORNL was compromised by sophisticated cyberattack - all personal data belonging to visitors for the past 20 years stolen. Everybody is very afraid there, all people told to shut up, so what else may have been nicked there?
