Title
The first nuclear reactor was erected in 1942 in the West Stands section of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago
Description
  • Scope and content: The first nuclear reactor was erected in 1942 in the West Stands section of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. On December 2, 1942 a group of scientists achieved the first self-sustaining chain reaction and thereby initiated the controlled release of nuclear energy. The reactor consisted of uranium and uranium oxide lumps spaced in a cubic lattice imbedded in graphite. In 1943 it was dismantled and reassembled at the Palos Park unit of the Argonne National Laboratory where it is still functioning. The sketch is by Melvin A. Miller of the Argonne National Laboratory
