Description

A set of standard, 6 cm by 10 cm, playing cards produced by the Nuclear Engineering International (NEI) publishing company in the United Kingdom to celebrate 50 years (1956-2006) of publishing on nuclear engineering topics.  The “deck” contains 44 cards with the faces of the first five explaining the rules of a games that can be played using the cards and the profiles of the sponsors for the card collection (AECL-CANDU, Curtis-Wright Flow Control Corporation, L-3 Communications MAPPS Inc. and NEI). The faces of the remaining 39 cards list the main characteristics of different nuclear generating stations around the world.  It is not known if the set of cards is complete or if, when originally produced, it consisted of 50 cards (for 50 years) or possibly 52 cards to mimic a normal deck of playing cards.
