I might be able to find out from one of the historical preservation
specialists about the Alpha One racetracks. I suspect they are gone,
though. I helped with a campaign to persuade DOE to preserve the Beta 3
building and racetracks; this facility being considered one of the three
Manhattan Project Signature Facilities in Oak Ridge. During a tour of
that facility we were shown an alpha calutron that had been set aside
for the Smithsonian. I got the impression that was the last one.
