Arrangement

Although locations have been named in the collection description, most of the photographs arrived unlabeled. The photographs in Box 1 are most likely part of the same set, but remain in the bundles that they arrived in. Box 2 contains larger format photographs and photographs that were originally in two three-ring binders labeled "Pressurized water loop". These photographs have been determined to include EVESR.
