8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Author 2nd International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, 1958. Each volume stamped G.T. Seaborg for Glenn T. Seaborg. Dr. Seaborg (1912-1999) was given a leave of absence from the University of California from 1942-1946, during which period he headed the plutonium work of the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory. He was co-discoverer of plutonium and all further transuranium elements through element 102. Under Dr. Seaborg's leadership, also, whole new bodies of methodology and instrumentation have been developed and have become a cornerstone of modern nuclear chemistry. Dr. Seaborg is the author of approximately 200 scientific papers, including a number of comprehensive reviews and compilations in scientific publications. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1951. Two boxed sets of unread books. Geneva Presentation copy. Dr. Seaborg placed a book pocket in the rear of each book for borrowing from him. Box 1: Solid Fuel Reactors, U.S. Research Reactor Operation and Use, The Transuranium Elements-(Seaborg is the author and it has his personal signature in the front), Shippingport Pressurized Water Reactor, The Physical Theory of Neutron Chain Reactors, Boiling Water Reactors; Box 2: Project Sherwood (checked out one time from him), Uranium Ore Processing, Sodium Graphite Reactors, Thorium Production Technology, Radiation Biology and Medicine (checked out one time from him), Physical Metallurgy of Uranium, Fluid Fuel Reactors. All books in fine condition. Boxed slipcases in near fine to very good condition with some very small nicks and chipping to the brown paper covering. 13 volumes in all..
