On April 22, 1959, Rear Admiral George J. King, superintendent of the Maine Maritime Academy, announced that following the completion of the 1960 training cruise, cadets would begin the study of nuclear engineering. Courses at that time included radiation physics, reactor control and instrumentation, reactor theory and engineering, thermodynamics, shielding, core design, reactor maintenance, and nuclear aspects.

The results of the field experiments of HTO washout with rainfall in the vicinity of the HT and HTO emission source are presented. The objective of the current study was to obtain the direct experimental data on the impact of raindrops characteristics (rate and spectrum of the drops) on HTO washout from the atmosphere. The results can be applied in for the development and validation of various models of washout.
