Westinghouse Atom Smasher: Westinghouse Atom Smasher

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The Westinghouse Atom Smasher was a big step in researching new applications for nuclear energy. It was a stepping stone towards modern nuclear processes. I think it's very interesting to learn about.

Evaluate the article
The introduction section introduces what the Atom Smasher was and what it was used for. It also gives a brief overview of its history. I think that the introduction is organized well.

The article is unbiased and contains relevant information to the Atom Smasher. There is room for improvement though. There is only two subsections on the article ("How it Worked" and "Preservation Efforts"). I think that another section identifying what was discovered there would be relevant to the article. The article is also lacking any information on the preservation since 2015. This section could be updated to include everything that has been done since 2015 to preserve the Atom Smasher.

The only suggestions on the edit page come from 2015 and are related to changing the article's name from "Westinghouse Atom Smasher" to something more professional like "Westinghouse Particle Accelerator." Since the former name is most commonly used the name has stuck. The talk page also references that the Atom Smasher had a short life due to quick obsolescence. This could be something worth noting in the main article. No edits have been made since 2015, so this article is definitely ripe for some updated preservation information. It also seems worth noting any discoveries that were made here, and why the Atom Smasher went obsolete so quickly.
