The AEC Division of Research has an annual budget of $400 million (including capital items), of which about 3/4 goes for physics and the rest to the other physical sciences. That sum makes the division the largest supporter of physics research in the US. To find out how funds are allocated and what the major directions of AEC‐funded research are, we spent the day at AEC headquarters with Paul W. McDaniel, director of the division, deputy director Daniel R. Miller, senior associate director Arthur E. Ruark (now retired), Walter E. Hughes (assistant director for administration) and the five assistant program directors.
