In a December 8, 1953, speech to the United Nations, President Dwight D. Eisenhower announced a new Atoms for Peace policy, and the United States Congress enacted his program into law the following year. Atoms for Peace "made funding accessible to anyone who had the imagination, if not the ability, to harness the atom's power for peaceful purposes". Under the new program, the airplane manufacturer Curtiss-Wright Corporation sought a large isolated area in central Pennsylvania "for the development of nuclear-powered jet engines and to conduct research in nucleonics, metallurgy, ultrasonics, electronics, chemicals and plastics". Curtiss-Wright worked closely with the state and, in June 1955, George M. Leader, the Governor of Pennsylvania, signed legislation that authorized the construction of a research facility at Quehanna. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania sold Curtiss-Wright 8,597 acres for $181,250 ($22.50 an acre), and gave the company a 99-year lease on the remaining 42,596 acres at $30,000 a year. Curtiss-Wright controlled 51,193 acres (80.0 sq mi) in a regular 16-sided polygon, which was easier to fence than a circular area.

Starting line of Paris-Brest-Paris
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
Paris–Brest–Paris (PBP) is a 1200km (755 mile) bicycle ride from Paris to Brest and back to Paris. It is the oldest bicycling event still regularly run. The goal is to make it within 90 hours, but with no competition. This is held every four years.
As in all brevet events, there is emphasis on self-sufficiency. Riders buy supplies anywhere along the course, but support by motorized vehicles is prohibited except at checkpoints. There is a 90-hour limit and the clock runs continuously. Many riders sleep as little as possible, sometimes catching a few minutes beside the road before continuing.
