Thousands of critical and high-multiplication subcritical experiments were performed at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory (LRL) Critical Facility throughout the 1950s and 1960s. This paper presents a brief history of the origins of the LRL and the critical facility with a synopsis of those experiments that have been evaluated and published or will soon appear in the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Safety Benchmark Experiments.
