We are requesting an amendment to' permit the storage, t.se, or dis. play of 165 pounds of natural uranium in tao $f j metal cubes. The future disposition of this material is not known at this 1 time. It may be transferred to the. Department of Energy. One suggestion has been made.to place one of the containers on display at our Cyclotron Facility. If this course of actioniis pursued' sufficient barriers will be provided to meet the regulations for control of radioactive material and to limit d s to members of the general public. One of the units is well scaled and we have no intention of opening it. The other had been damaged with a small hole punched in it. Much less than a microcurie had escapel and the area has been decontaminated. This unit will not be displayed without repairing the container and assuring'that it is . decontaminated. Any use or display of the material will be in accordance with the conditions of our broad license and under an approval of the Radiation Safety Committee. As discussed with you, the cubes may have come fror Enrico Fermi's first pile at Columbia University and might have some historical significance, b' The following details the procedure used in verifying that the cubes contained natural uranium. Samples were prepared by using 567 mg of uranyl acetate, as e a standard natural uranium mixture, and 362 mg from the assumed uranium @ dioxide (a black powder) from the cube. The weights were selected to produce o equal weights of uranium within each sample. The samples were each mixed with 0-* epoxy resin'and pressed into 2" diameter disks inside Kapton plastic film. m The resultant disks had low self absorption coefficients based on the 16 mg , M per square em uranium content. Several predominate energies were compared g using a Ge(Li) detector with a multi-channel analyzer. The energy groups cm.m encompass selected energies of U-235 photons and U-238 daughter photons. @@ Although there are a some competing energies that might show up in some of the omJ channels selected, a change in en-ichment or depletion would yield ratios that ;$$3 are different than 1.00.

The standard deviations given are for counting statistics only. Enclosed, for your inform;t,sn, is a copy of an account from a book by Richard Rhodes entitled, "The making of the Atomic Bomb" (Simon and Shuster, 1986). The description of the cubes we have seems to match the description of the fuel blocks used in Fermi's first pile constructed at Columbia University in September 1941 prior to the Chicago pile which achieved criticality. We have cube numbers 35 and 60. The origin of our cubes is unknown. Several physicists who worked on the Manhattan project _became faculty members of Indiana University. No one, currently in the Physics Department knows where the cubes came from. Our records go back to the old authorization program of the Atomic Energy Commission prior to establishment of the licensing system. A number of requests for small (pound) quantities of Uranium are in our files but nothing for quantities approaching 160 pounds. ~~ ' Very Truly Yours. ' 'lW b | Henry .

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.

  • 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.

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.

These are two of the central questions of World Set Free. The story examines some of the complexities of the chain reaction, how the experiments were conducted in secret, and how that secrecy effected the people involved. It tells how the first sustained nuclear reaction at the University of Chicago was the irreversible first step toward the creation of the atomic bomb.
