This policy transition was controversial, causing friction with U.S. allies, with the nuclear power industry, and with Congress. Early in his presidential campaign, Carter criticized the excessive federal financial commitment to developing plutonium-based reactors and adopted the view that the weapons proliferation risks of plutonium economy technologies were serious and needed to be addressed.

  • Recollections and Reconstructions
    @ ? Editor's Note: The Society's Nuclear Pioneer Citationfor 1977 goes not to an individual but to a distinguished group of individuals: those who took part in the epochal “ChicagoPile―experiment of Dec. 2, 1942, which produced thefirst successful atomicpile chain reaction. The 42 members ofthe Chicago Pilegroup are listed on page 591. One ofthose named, Harold M. Agnew, now Directorofthe Los Alamos Scient@flc Laboratory, is the Nuclear Pioneer Lecturerfor the 24th Annual Meeting. The guidingforce behind the Chicago Pile experiment was Enrico Fermi, recipient of the Nuclear Pioneer Citation of 1963.

  • The First Defenders Civil War Round Table Newsletter
    n ilyaciltit (7-72 The First Defenders Civil War Round Table Newsletter September 2012 Beginning our 16th Campaign www.firstdefenderscwrt.us PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Welcome. We had a great field trip to South Mountain. Many thanks to Don and Rob and anyone else who helped. A special thanks to John Hoptak. If you missed it, we have another good trip planned for next June. I hope your summer is going well and that you are all in good health. The time has come to start a new campaign. The war is not going particularly well for the Union by September 1862. Robert E. Lee has embarrassed George B. McClellan in the Seven Days Campaign in front of Richmond. Then on August 29 th and 30th, he crushes John Pope's army at Second Bull Run. The Rebel army pushes to within 20 miles of Washington before withdrawing. Abraham Lincoln believes that he has no choice, but to swallow his pride and ask McClellan to again lead the Army of the Potomac. Many in Lincoln's administration believe that McClellan did everything in his power to undermine Pope, and would like to see him hang. Lincoln knows Little Mac can restore morale. Lee, with momentum on his side decides to invade the North. A decisive victory in above the Mason-Dixon line may lead to peace talks. The Army of Northern Virginia, in high spirits, crosses the Potomac River, into Maryland on September 5th. McClellan moving quickly, defeats part of Lee's army at the Battle of South Mountain. Lee, with the wings of his army widely scattered, is surprised for one of the few times in the war and considers abandoning the campaign.

  • Migration, Freedom and Enslavement in the Revolutionary Atlantic: the Bahamas, 1783–C
    Migration, Freedom and Enslavement in the Revolutionary Atlantic: The Bahamas, 1783–c. 1800 Paul Daniel Shirley October 2011 UCL PhD thesis 1 I, Paul Daniel Shirley, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: _____________________________ (Paul Daniel Shirley) 2 Abstract This thesis examines the impact of revolution upon slavery in the Atlantic world, focusing upon the period of profound and unprecedented change and conflict in the Bahamas during the final decades of the eighteenth century. It argues that the Bahamian experience can only be satisfactorily understood with reference to the revolutionary upheavals that were transforming the larger Atlantic world in those years. From 1783, the arrival of black and white migrants displaced by the American Revolution resulted in quantitative and qualitative social, economic and political transformation in the Bahamas. The thesis assesses the nature and significance of the sudden demographic shift to a non-white majority in the archipelago, the development of many hitherto unsettled islands, and efforts to construct a cotton-based plantation economy. It also traces the trajectory and dynamics of the complex struggles that ensued from these changes. During the 1780s, émigré Loyalist slaveholders from the American South, intent on establishing a Bahamian plantocracy, confronted not only non-white Bahamians exploring enlarged possibilities for greater control over their own lives, but also an existing white population determined to defend their own interests, and a belligerent governor with a penchant for idiosyncratic antislavery initiatives. In the 1790s, a potentially explosive situation was inflamed still further as a new wave of war and revolution engulfed the Atlantic.

  • Redacted for Privacy
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF J. Christopher Jolly for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History of Science presented on May 30, 2003. Title: Thresholds of Uncertainty: Radiation and Responsibility in the Fallout Controversy Redacted for Privacy Mary Jo N The public controversy over possible health hazards from radioactive fallout from atomic bomb testing began in 1954, shortly after a thermonuclear test by the United States spread fallout world wide. In the dissertation, I address two of the fundamental questions of the fallout controversy: Was there a threshold of radiation exposure below which there would be no significant injury? What was the role of a responsible scientist in a public scientific debate? Genetics and medicine were the scientific fields most directly involved in the debate over the biological effects of radiation. Geneticists' prewar experiences with radiation led them to believe that there was no safe level of radiation exposure and that any amount of radiation would cause a proportional amount of genetic injury. In contrast to geneticists, physicians and medical researchers generally believed that there was a threshold for somatic injury from radiation. One theme of the dissertation is an examination of how different scientific conceptual and methodological approaches affected how geneticists and medical researchers evaluated the possible health effects of fallout. Geneticists and physicians differed not only in their evaluations of radiation hazards, but also in their views of how the debate over fallout should be conducted. A central question of the fallout debate was how a responsible scientist should act in a public policy controversy involving scientific issues upon which the scientific community had not yet reached a consensus.

DESCRIPTORS *Atomic Theory, Energy, *Nuclear Physics, Physics experiments, Radioisotopes, *Science Equipment, *Science History, Scientific Research, Scientists ABSTRACT This booklet is one of the "Understanding the Atom" Series. Consisting of three sections, it is an account of the development of the first nuclear reactor by a team of scientists led by Enrico Farmi. The first section briefly reviews the early work on nuclear fission and neutron emission, the impact of Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt, the establishment of the Manhattan Engineer District, and the preliminary work on the design and construction of the first atomic pile at Chicago. The section ends with an hour-by-hour description of the experiment culminating in the achievement of the first self-sustaining nuclear reaction on December 2, 1942. The second section consists of Fermi's own story of the first atomic chain reaction, written in observance of the tenth anniversary of the event. The third section is an account by Fermi's wife of a Party to celebrate the success of the experiment. Nor narrative reveals the great secrecy surrounding the work of Fermi's team. The booklet has numerous photographs of the scientists involved in the Project, sketches of the first atomic pile and a Photograph of a graph indicating the neutron intensity during various stages of the operation of the atomic pile.

  • An Inter-Country Comparison of Nuclear Pile Development During World War II
    Piles of piles: An inter-country comparison of nuclear pile development during World War II B. Cameron Reed Department of Physics (Emeritus) Alma College Alma, Michigan 48801 USA [email protected] January 23, 2020 Abstract Between the time of the discovery of nuclear fission in early 1939 and the end of 1946, approximately 90 “nuclear piles” were constructed in six countries. These devices ranged from simple graphite columns containing neutron sources but no uranium to others as complex as the water-cooled 250-megawatt plutonium production reactors built at Hanford, Washington. This paper summarizes and compares the properties of these piles. 1 1. Introduction According to the World Nuclear Association, there were 448 operable civilian nuclear power reactors in the world with a further 53 under construction as of late 2019.1 To this total can be added reactors intended for other purposes such as materials testing, medical isotope production, operator training, naval propulsion, and fissile materials production. All of these reactors are the descendants, by some path or other, of the first generation of nuclear “piles” developed in the years following the discovery of nuclear fission in late 1938. Any historian of science possessing even only a passing knowledge of developments in nuclear physics during World War II will be familiar with how Enrico Fermi achieved the first self-sustaining chain reaction with his CP-1 (“Critical Pile 1”) graphite pile at the University of Chicago on December 2, 1942, and how this achievement led to the development, within two years, of large-scale plutonium production reactors at Hanford, Washington.
