On November 19, 2009 it will be one hundred years since Peter F. Drucker was born in Vienna - then capital of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Peter Drucker passed away three years ago, on November 11, 2005, in Claremont, California. He is generally referred to as the "father of modern management". Yet, it appears that his importance as someone who thought about management in a broader social perspective is not widely understood.

Taryn Simon, Nuclear Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility, Cherenkov Radiation , Hanford Site, U.S. Department of Energy, Southeastern Washington State, from the series An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar,2007 Chromogenic color print,37 1/4 x 44 1/2 in. (96.4 x 113 cm) Collection of the artist; courtesy Gagosian Gallery, New York Nuclear Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility, Cherenkov Radiation Hanford Site, U.S. Department of Energy Southeastern Washington State Submerged in a pool of water at Hanford Site are 1,936 stainless steel nuclear waste capsules containing cesium and strontium. Combined, they contain over 120 million curies of radioactivity. It is estimated to be the most curies under one roof in the United States. The blue glow is created by the Cherenkov Effect or Cherenkov radiation. The Cherenkov Effect describes the electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle, giving off energy, moves faster than light through a transparent medium. The temperatures of the capsules are as high as 330 degrees Fahrenheit. The pool of water serves as a shield against radiation; a human standing one foot from an unshielded capsule would receive a lethal dose of radiation in less than 10 seconds.
