A 102 cm long by 15 cm wide manufacturer’s nameplate that used to be attached to the Model MP tandem accelerator at Chalk River. The 5mm thick, cast-aluminum plate was attached to the side of the accelerator and was rescued during the decommissioning and dismemberment of the accelerator in 1997. This was the first MP accelerator built by High Voltage Engineering Corporation and arrived at Chalk River in 1965. It was used for many nuclear physics experiments over the next two decades and later also served as an injector into the superconducting cyclotron to provide much higher energy particles for basic nuclear physics studies. Designed for a nominal 10 MV, it underwent improvements and operated at voltages up to 15.4 MV.
