The proposal was made to the U.S. Department of Energy. The proposed SSC would be the world’s largest particle accelerator. It would be used as a basic research tool in the field of high energy physics. Kansas’s proposed site was approximately twelve miles south of Topeka. The area of site influence is considered the four county region of Douglas, Franklin, Osage, and Shawnee counties.
