This General Index supplements the Combined Indices of the Manhattan District History, in Appendix C of this Volumei C(l) Index of Names of Persons; C(2) Index of Names of Agencies, Industrial Organizations, P ‘ r-J Universities, etc, 2, The items included in this Index are confined for the most part to general Bubjects end general headings only* for more detailed items, reference should be made to the indices which are included in the separate Books and Volumes of the History, S. In most oases, the reference to a subject shows* first, the Book number (in Roman numerals)j then the Volume number (in Arabic numerals) and, finally, one or more Page numbers (in Arabic numerals). For example, the reference reading* “Ac c i d e n t s "Electromagnetic Project "V, Vol. 4 - 3,7, 5,8, 5*12n ■will be found on Pages S.7, 8,8 and 5,12 of Volume 4 of Book V of the History, 4, References to Book VIII, Volume 2 (represented thus* "VIII, Vol. 2"), end to the Supplement to Book VIII, Volume 2 (represented thus* "VIII, Vol. 2 (Supp.)n), give each Page number by Roman numerals followed by Arabic numerals, because the Pages in these two parts of the History ere so num­ bered, the Roman numeral representing the Chapter number and the Arabic numeral representing the Page number in the Chapter. Thus: "Aooi d e n t s "Los Alamos Project "VIII, Vol. 2 - 111-41, X7-S, XV-4n will be found on Pages 111-41, I7-S, and XV-4 of Book VIII, Volume 2, 5, In some cases, the Section number (in Arabic numerals), and in some cases the Chapter .number (in Roman numerals) is inserted between the Volume number and the Page number (aB* "Sec, 2’* or "Ch,9w)j in references to Volume 2 of Book IV, which is divided into two "Parts”, the Part number (in Roman numerals) is inserted between the Volume number and the Page number (as* "Pt,!!"); in references to Book III or to Book VI, no Volume number is given, because these two Books of the History are not divided into Volumes, 6, When the referenced subject continues on several consecutive Pages (three or more), the reference usually Includes the number of the first of these Pages only, followed by the abbreviation "ff" (but in some cases, the reference is given thus* "5,12 to 5,17")j where the referenced subject con­ tinues in general through the whole of a Section or a Chapter, etc., the page numbers are usually omitted. u n i n Atomic Act 1946 •flTTV Specific, rioted Data v T A Cleara; red N 1 7. Wherever in this Index the reference "I, Vol. 14 (F'gn. Int. Supp.)" occurs (as, for example, under the entry "ALSOS Missions”) it is intended to mean Foreign Intelligence Supplement No. 1 of Volume 14 of Book I. Subsequent to the compilation of this Index, Foreign Intel­ ligence Supplements Nos. 2 and 3 to Book I, Volume 14, were incorporated in the History and at that time "Foreign Intelligence Supplement" was redesignated "Foreign Intelligence Supplement No. 1". 8. Because of the incorporation of the two additional supple­ ments, to Book I, Vol. 14, (Foreign Intelligence Supplements Nos. 2 and 3), the following entries are added(and references thereto have been inserted in their proper alphabetical positions in the main Index): ADDENDA.

  • Winter 2013 Secret Weapons of the Secret City
    Vol. 19, No. 1 Newsletter of the China Lake Museum Foundation Winter 2013 Secret Weapons of the Secret City Fat Man and Little Boy. Of all the ―weapons that win wars,‖ the ones that can best lay claim to the title are the first atomic bombs, Fat Man and Little Boy, which helped to end World War II. China Lake was a major contributor to the success of those weapons. The U.S. initiated a program in 1942, under the Army Corps of Engineers, to build a weapon that would allow the U.S. to end the war without having to invade Japan. Several large engineering and production centers were set up at remote sites including sites in Tennessee, Washington (state), New Mexico, and California. In 1945, China Lake (then known as the Naval Ordnance Test Station or NOTS) carried out Project Camel, the code name for the station’s involvement in the Manhattan Project. China Lake’s Role: Non-Nuclear Components. An atomic bomb is essentially a conventional bomb with a nuclear core. The China Lake and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) Team, experts at conventional explosives, was tasked to develop the non-nuclear explosive components of the atomic bomb; the conventional explosives were used to trigger the nuclear explosion. China Lake also performed detonator testing; mixed, melted, cast, and machined explosive shapes; air-dropped hundreds of bomb components and shapes from B-29 bombers; studied and solved flight problems; and conducted aero- ballistic tests to optimize aerodynamics and to test fuze functions. The team also checked out equipment procedures to be used in the tactical delivery of the atom bomb.

Its construction U.S. National Register of Historic Places was part of the Manhattan U.S. National Historic Landmark Project, the Allied effort to create Chicago Landmark atomic bombs during World War II. It was built by the Manhattan Project's Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, under the west viewing stands of the original Stagg Field. The first man-made self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was initiated in CP-1 on 2 December Drawing of the reactor 1942, under the supervision of Enrico Fermi, who described the apparatus as "a crude pile of black bricks and wooden timbers".[4] The reactor was assembled in November 1942, by a team that included Fermi, Leo Szilard, discoverer of the chain reaction, Location Chicago, Cook County, and Herbert L.

  • Women of the Manhattan Project
    ELLEN C. WEAVER, PH.D. Foreword RUTH AND CAROL'S BOOK fills a very personal need for me. I worked on the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, but I don't recall any other female scientists working in my groups, and I didn't get to know any of the women working elsewhere at the site. One reason for this was, of course, that women were a small minor- ity on the project. Another is that for security reasons, the various oper- ations at Oak Ridge were spread out over the site and kept separate as much as possible. I met a couple of women in the locker room, where we changed into protective clothing, but we didn't form lasting friend- ships. My buddies were all men. Indeed, I'm ashamed to say that I occa- sionally heard men at Oak Ridge discuss female scientists in insulting terms—concerning appearance, not competence—but that I did not rise to their defense. I remember no sense of camaraderie among women; indeed, we viewed other women with some suspicion. The support that women give one another today did not exist then. I had majored in chemistry in college, not out of any love of science but because I wanted a skill that would empower me to support my hus- band, a physicist, through graduate school. When he was spirited off to a secret project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, I followed as soon as was prac- ticable. After a short stint cranking out calculations on those old Marchant calculators (talk about boring!), I was put in work in a lab with a real project of my own, and just loved what I was doing.
