Don't know but it's an awesome photo

If I had to guess, I'd say he's pulling a nice IPA. Or it's the Scyllac test reactor.

Looks like part of an accelerator: powerful electromagnets that are used to bend trajectories of charged particles in the metal tube.

Plasma Physics experiments?

It looks like the bending magnets of a betatron?

Isn't this one of the ignition facilities (i.e., inertial fusion using big lasers)? These were also used to simulate nuclear explosion effects.

It looks like a demo of a new technique to keep cables from becoming tangled!

High Coco-Cola bottling plant?

Money money money

If you're really interested, one of my professors used to work there, somewhen in the 80s - I might ask him?

That machine is what happens when you let scientists build "perhapsatrons" :-)
