Information Folder From Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Format is 9 inches by 12 inches. Photograph of The Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the center of the front of the folder. Pocket/flaps on both of the interior sides. Back cover has some text For Further Information. Oak Ridge National Laboratory was operated for the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The Union Carbide corporation succeeded Tennessee Eastman as the operating contractor in 1947, remaining until 1984, when Union Carbide relinquished the contract for operating DOE's Oak Ridge facilities, and the Martin Marietta corporation (later Lockheed Martin) won the contract to take over the operation. Non-mandatory ZIP codes were introduced to the United States in 1963. Therefore, by this data point, this folder dates from between 1963 and 1984. However, the date range can be narrowed even further. The Atomic Energy Commission was folded into the Energy Research and Development Administration in 1975, meaning that this folder was produced between 1963 and 1975. This folder by itself would be an interesting exhibit item as well as an authentic holder for appropriate Oak Ridge National Laboratory materials a collector may possess. Folder has some edge wear and soiling. Fold is empty.…
