Isotopes, Incorporated Corporate Headquarters
The project scope is to design a new corporate headquarters consisting of an administration building and a laboratory building.
The company explores the use of radiological materials, including an early food irradiation plant - a joint venture of the Atomic Energy Commission, Martin Marietta, Uniroyal and Alpo - to explore the process of canning food that would, in theory, survive a nuclear attack.
The existing facility in Westwood, New Jersey does radiocarbon and related analyses for carbon dating for research clients.
The company later becomes Teledyne Isotopes Inc
