UncaBuffalo:
Can anyone tell me anything about this DOE site?  Or the immediate area (Argonne, IL)?

Thanks!  :)

UncaBuffalo:
The following info was PM'd to me...thought I'd make it available to the whole group in case anyone else was headed that way...

"...It's about the outer rim of what is considered the suburbs of Chicago.  Anywhere northeast of town is real old-style city burbs, and as you get further out, it becomes towns seperated by farmland (avoid Joliet at all costs).  A bit south are Braidwood and Morris (Dresden)..."

Yes I can tell you a little about the site was there in 1994 in one of the shut down test reactors. The site is self contained with a gas station, post office and dorms rooms on site that we stayed in. It used to be a hunting lodge and there are white european deer all over the site. It's 12 miles from downtown on Stephenson frwy. They also had a bar on site that operated from 4-8 every day for the workers. :o

The article on quantum computing is interessting.

PWHoppe:
No...He's talking about Argonne. The Stephenson Expressway is in Chicago, and they have white deer there. They were brought in from Europe, get killed every year jumpiing over the fences, onto the roadways :o

Still have a bar as far as I know ::)

And they have not dismanteled all of the test reactors that are there ;)
