<p><b>General Atomics</b> (GA) is a nuclear physics and defense contractor headquartered in San Diego California. According to its website, GA has been a primary developer of modular helium-cooled nuclear power reactor systems, and its TRIGA® research reactors have operated around the world for over 45 years.</p>

<p>

Founded in 1955 as a division of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/General_Dynamics" title="General Dynamics">General Dynamics</a>, General Atomics and its affiliated companies now constitute one of the world's leading resources for high-technology systems ranging from the nuclear fuel cycle to electromagnetic systems, remotely operated surveillance aircraft, airborne sensors, and advanced electronic, wireless and laser technologies. In addition, carries out the largest nuclear fusion program in private industry.<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.ga.com/about.php">[1]</a>

Currently GA's largest profits come from it's maufacture of the Predator unmanned aerial drone vehicle.

In 1967 the company was sold to Gulf oil. In 1986 the company was sold to <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Neal_Blue&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Neal Blue (page does not exist)">Neal Blue</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Linden_Blue&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Linden Blue (page does not exist)">Linden Blue</a>.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Environmental_Record:">Environmental Record:</span></h2>

<p>General Atomics has had a horrendous record of environmental contamination related to its work in mining and refining uranium products. In particular its Sequoya Fuels plant in Gore Oklahoma was the site of numerous reglatory violations. In 1991 Government investigators uncovered documents and other evidence that the company had known for years that uranium from the plant was leaking into underground waters. The Government found uranium in the ground water surrounding the plant at levels 35,000 times higher than Federal law allows.<a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE6DD1F39F936A15752C1A964958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all">[2]</a>

In November 1992 the plant was ordered shut down by the nuclear Regulatory Commission when an accident resulted in the release of toxic gas. Native Americans for a Clean Environment, an environmental group in Tahlequah, Okla., said 34 people sought treatment as a result of the accident.</p>

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Depleted_Uranium:">Depleted Uranium:</span></h2>

<p>One of the chief products of the Sequoya Fuels plant was <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Depleted_Uranium" title="Depleted Uranium">Depleted Uranium</a> (DU) produced under contract to the US military. On November 1, 2006 as part of the Defense Authorization Act signed by President George W. Bush, the U.S. Army took charge of removing 1.5 million lbs of leaky depleted uranium drums from the Sequoya Fuels site. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.wise-uranium.org/edusa.html#GORE">[3]</a>

&nbsp;</p>

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Controversy">Controversy</span></h2>

<p>General Atomics raised eyebrows when it spent roughly $660,000 on 86 trips for legislators, aides and their spouses from 2000 to mid-2005. Aaccording to an analysis of travel disclosure records by the [Center for Public Integrity], American Public Media and Northwestern University's Medill News Service:</p>

<p>

"While on trips to Turkey in 2004 and Australia in 2005 — some valued at more than $25,000 — staffers attended meetings with officials of foreign governments being solicited to buy the company's unmanned spy plane, the Predator."

General Atomics Vice Chairman Linden Blue defended his company's practises saying. "If you have something, you have to sell it. You have to let people know what its virtues are and let them make an honest decision about whether that is something the public should invest in."

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="History">History</span></h2>

<p>General Atomics (GA) was founded July 18, 1955 in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego" title="San Diego">San Diego</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California" title="California">California</a> as the General Atomic division of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics" title="General Dynamics">General Dynamics</a> "for the purpose of harnessing the power of nuclear technologies for the benefit of mankind".

GA's first offices were in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics" title="General Dynamics">General Dynamics</a> facility on Hancock Street in San Diego. GA also used a schoolhouse on San Diego's Barnard Street as its temporary headquarters, which it would later "adopt" as part of its Education Outreach program. San Diego voters approved the transfer of land to GA for permanent facilities in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrey_Pines,San_Diego,California" title="Torrey Pines, San Diego, California" class="mw-redirect">Torrey Pines</a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jay_Hopkins" title="John Jay Hopkins">John Jay Hopkins</a> Laboratory for Pure and Applied Science was formally dedicated there on June 25, 1959. The Torrey Pines facility continues to serve as the company's headquarters today.

The initial projects were the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIGA" title="TRIGA">TRIGA</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor" title="Nuclear reactor">nuclear reactor</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_%28nuclear_propulsion%29" title="Project Orion (nuclear propulsion)">Project Orion</a>.</p>

<p>Since 1992, the General Atomics Science Education Outreach Program, a volunteer effort of GA employees and San Diego science teachers, has worked with Science Coordinators for the San Diego Schools to bring the business and research side of science into the classroom. The goal is both to improve the quality of science education and to encourage more students to pursue science careers. In addition, the teachers' interactions with the scientists and exposure to everyday uses of their disciplines help them to be better educators.

In 1995, the program was expanded, and the General Atomics Sciences Education Foundation [501(c) (3)] was established. The General Atomics Sciences Education Foundation's goal is to play a major role in enhancing pre-college education in science, engineering and new technologies. To attain this goal, four areas of core competency at General Atomics were initially selected to form the basis for the development of inquiry-based education modules and associated workshops. Scientist/teacher teams wrote these modules, which fuse the content and methodology of industrial research and development with the teaching skills of experienced science teachers.

Hundreds of teachers attended the initial workshops. Since the first workshops, additional educational modules have been developed and presented to teachers at local, state, and national conferences. Two of the modules developed attracted the interest of professional educational institutes, who have transformed them into educational modules that are being distributed nationally.</p>

<ul>

<li>The Line of Resistance module and the Explorations in Materials Science modules were revised in collaboration with the Institute for Chemical Education (ICE) at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Wisconsin" title="University of Wisconsin" class="mw-redirect">University of Wisconsin</a>. ICE is currently selling these modules worldwide.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics#cite_note-18"><span>[</span>18<span>]</span></a></sup></li>

</ul>

<p>When these workshops are presented at conferences, the General Atomics Sciences Education Foundation supports the printing of various associated materials that are handed out to all participants, as well as the travel expenses of the General Atomics scientist presenters.

The General Atomics Sciences Education Foundation has supported many local education projects such as the PISCES Project and the San Diego <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Festival" title="Science Festival" class="mw-redirect">Science Festival</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Atomics#cite_note-19"><span>[</span>19<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
