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. Anderson, Walter Illinois, USA Zinn, Martin D. Whitaker, and Coordinates 41°47′32″N 87°36′3″W George Weil. It contained 45,000 Built 1942[2] graphite blocks weighing 400 NRHP Reference # 66000314 [1] short tons (360 t) used as a neutron moderator, and was Significant dates fueled by 6 short tons (5.4 t) of Added to NRHP 15 October 1966 [1] uranium metal and 50 short tons (66000314) (45 t) of uranium oxide. In the Designated NHL 18 February 1965[2] pile, some of the free neutrons Designated CL 27 October 1971[3] produced by the natural decay of uranium were absorbed by other uranium atoms, causing nuclear fission of those atoms, and the release of additional free neutrons.

  • 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.
