NATIONAL LABORATORY

(Text from:Wikipedia)

Brookhaven National Laboratory, which originally was owned by the Atomic Energy Commission, is now owned by the Commission's successor, the United States Department of Energy, which subcontracts Stony Brook University and Battelle Memorial Institute. BNL was operated by Associated Universities, Inc. (AUI), from 1947 until 1998 when Associated lost the contract in the wake of a scandal when tritium leaked into the Long Island Central Pine Barrens groundwater on which it sits.

Aerial Photo of Lab located on the former military base, Camp Upton.
The Particle accelerator (RHIC) is located top right of the photo. 

Located with the laboratory in Upton is the New York forecast office of the National Weather Service. BNL is staffed by approximately 3,000 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support personnel, and hosts 4,000 guest investigators every year. Discoveries made at the lab have won seven Nobel Prizes.
