National Radiation Instrument Catalog
The development of the National Radiation Instrument Catalog 2007 (NRIC 2007) began in October 2001. The goal of the project is to categorize every portable nuclear radiation instrument developed during the period from 1920 to 1960. Early attempts to catalog radiation instrumentation began in the late 1940's by the Atomic Energy Commission but was discontinued in the early 1950's. In that spirit, this catalog was envisioned and pursued.
The Uranium Rush - 1949
It was advertised as the largest rush, even larger than the gold rush! The government had paid over $2,000,000 in bonuses for uranium discoveries in the past two years in 1955. Some prospectors were being paid over $150,000 per month. The fever in uranium prospecting could be illustrated from the many magazine covers of the period. As early as 1949, popular science magazines started highlighting the uranium prospecting as a hobby.
