Show Australian Atom Bomb i Chief center of research into the theory and nature of atomic energy ener-gy in Australia is the nuclear physics laboratory of the University Univer-sity of Melbourne, where a huge Van De Graaf machine for accelerating accel-erating particles for atom smashing smash-ing has been completed. The machine was made wholly in Melbourne Mel-bourne from Australian materials. It generates 1,000,000 volts. It is the first construction of its kind in Australia and took over 12 months to complete. The design was taken from a German blueprint, blue-print, which was altered to suit Australian materials and equipment. |
