Keith E Dowler

Dear family, please accept my condolences; though I did not know Keith well, I did benefit from his work at LANL. That is, I was a Technical Staff Member in Stan Bronisz's group (MST-5) in MST Division, the Division where Keith also worked at Los Alamos. (Stan died in 1989.) In the 1985 timeframe, a tech did some remote measurements for me on hot copper samples irradiated with neutrons at the Experimental Breeder Reactor in Idaho Falls, as part of a research project at LANL funded by a DOE program for eventually developing a new commercial source of electricity for the power grid, via magnetic fusion energy. I think the data were taken in the CMB. Our unclassified results were published in 1986 in a research journal as well as a DOE semiannual progress report. So Keith's facilities for safely handling radioactive specimens helped us, too. -- From a LANL/UC retiree.

Connie, I was so sad to hear that Keith had passed away. I know that your heart must be very heavy at this time, may God bring you comfort. I will miss his joking.
