Description/Abstract:
SURVEY AND COLLECTED PAPERS PUBLISHED AND EDITED BY ROBERT S. STONE, INDUSTRIAL MEDICINE ON THE PLUTONIUM PROJECT. FROM ITS INCEPTION, THE ATOMIC ENERGY PROJECT CONSISTED OF SEVERAL INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS; EACH HAD ITS OWN OBJECTIVES, ITS OWN ORGANIZATION, AND ITS OWN LABORATORIES FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. A HEALTHY RIVALRY EXISTED AMONG THEM; EACH HOPED TO BE THE FIRST TO REACH ITS OBJECTIVES. THEIR EFFORTS WERE COORDINATED IN THE BEGINNING BY THE OFFICE OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND IN THE LATER STAGES BY THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT OF THE U. S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. THE GROUP ASSIGNED TO THE PROBLEMS OF PROVING THAT A NUCLEAR CHAIN REACTION COULD BE ACHIEVED, OF MAKING A STRUCTURE USING THIS REACTION TO PRODUCE PLUTONIUM, AND OF DEVELOPING A CHEMICAL PROCESS FOR ISOLATING PURE PLUTONIUM WAS ESTABLISHED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. FOR THIS PURPOSE THAT UNIVERSITY FORMED THE METALLURGICAL LABORATORY UNDER THE ABLE LEADERSHIP OF PROF. ARTHUR H. COMPTON.
