Argonne Open House 2006

THANK YOU!
The Nuclear Engineering Division thanks all participants which contributed to make a success of the Open House event.

On Oct. 7, 2006 Argonne opened its gates to the community to celebrate the Laboratory's 60th anniversary.
NE actively participated in this event with activities inside and outside Building 208, the home of the Nuclear Engineering Division.
