Hans Bethe, the scientist who worked in both the Manhattan Project & USA H-bomb programs, wrote in 1983 a 40 page history called "The Story of Los Alamos." It seems not to be publicly available online except where I have made it so, free for all: osf.io/thjpk #NukeSKY 1/n
A screenshot of the first page of document by Hans Bethe labeled "The Story of Los Alamos." It is a scan of a weathered document and shows classification review marks and classification markings crossed out. On the right, going horizontally up the page, is a handwritten phrase reading "redacted version." The OCR of the first page is as follows: "the laboratory was established as the the last of the tour maJor proJeots in the atomic bomb program. the purpose ot the three earlier proJects vas to manufacture active materials which could be used in an atomic bomb. 'I'vo of themthe project of Dr. Lawrence at the University of California and of Dr. Urey at Columbia University vere concerned vith the separation of the active isotopes 235 from ordinary uranium using ~o different methods. The third, the Metallurgical La~ratory at Chicago, developed methods to produce the entirely new element plutonium by means of a nuclear reaction. All of these proJecte vere , in the Spring of 1943, at a stage of transition from re- " search to actual production. At this stage it seemed appropriate to establish a furthsr laboratory to investigate the actual construction ot an atomic bomb. ~is laboratory vas built at Los Alamos, near Santa Fe, Hew Mexico. As Director, General Groves who vas in over all charge of the atomic bomb project, appointed Dr. J.R. Oppenheimer, vell-known theoretical physicist from the University of California. The laborator1 vas first in tended to be quite small vith a total staff of one or two hundred. It aoon vas found that the problema in deaigning an atomic bomb were much too difficult and varied to be solved by such a small statf and the laboratory aoon grew to more than ten ti~es its original size"

This was a dumb thing to do, but the article gets a lot wrong. This was not a "device" in the nuclear weapons sense of an explosive without a delivery vehicle. It was not an explosive at all. I'll write a post. #nukesky

How Did the C.I.A. Lose a Nuclear Device in the Himalayas? (Gift Article)

A plutonium-packed generator disappeared on one of the world’s highest mountains in a covert mission that the U.S. will not talk about.

As requested: A thread on the birth of plutonium, the incredibly rapid work done to develop the new metal, and the human experiences - and human costs - of the scientists and techs who did the work. In particular, the untold stories of my kindred metallurgist spirits at Los Alamos. #nukesky 1/🧵
The first gram-sized piece of plutonium metal ever made by man, probably to ever exist in the universe. Produced by Los Alamos metallurgists Ted Magel and Nick Dallas late at night on March 23 1944.
A modern electrorefined ring of plutonium metal.
Photo of Dr. Ted Magel sometime in 1944.

Should I do a thread on this? A pretty complete story of the plutonium work during Manhattan can be told, I even have names and photos for most of the scientists & some of the technicians involved

When I wrote my critique of a possible special operation to take Iran's enriched uranium, I had to guess at the containers that might be used for the UF6, which would constitute a significant part of the load. 1/ #nukesky

Folks, if EDWARD TELLER of all people said something is going to ruin the world you better take that seriously #NukeSky

And in 1959, at the centennial celebration of the American Oil Industry, physicist Edward Teller told a room of more than 300 ppl that burning petrol caused a greenhouse effect That if they kept going, New York & all coastal places would soon be underwater 🧪 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
