Listed enclosure (Bidder's List Mailing Application) related to contracting present. Cover has ink notation on front. This booklet was prepared to provide certain basic information helpful to those who want to do business with the Atomic Energy Commission or its contractors. It indicates who does the buying, what is bought, how much is bought, where procurement officers are located, and other related information. The peacetime uses of atomic energy are creating new sales and business opportunities outside the Government programs of the Atomic Energy Commission. This revised edition of Selling to AEC considers several aspects of this matter. This provides an increasingly scarce insight into the evolution of atomic energy related government procurement operations and activities and the evolving non-governmental marketplace. The United States Atomic Energy Commission was an agency of the United States government established after World War II to foster and control the peacetime development of atomic science and technology. President Truman signed the McMahon/Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946, transferring the control of atomic energy from military to civilian hands, on January 1, 1947. This shift gave the members of the AEC complete control of the plants, laboratories, equipment, and personnel assembled during the war to produce the atomic bomb. During its initial operations, the AEC played a key role in the institutional development of Ecosystem ecology. It provided crucial financial resources, allowing for ecological research to take place. Perhaps even more importantly, it enabled ecologists with a wide range of groundbreaking techniques for the completion of their research. These projects were designed to examine the effects of nuclear energy upon the environment and were part of the AEC’s work on peaceful applications of atomic energy. The AEC was abolished by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, which assigned its functions to two agencies: the Energy Research and Development Administration and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Condition: Good.
