How a 26-Year-Old Physicist May Have Saved Oak Ridge from …
Way back in 1944, 26-year-old Richard Feynman took his very first airplane flight. His destination was a city that was not listed on any map; a city that was protected by gates with armed guards. Feynman was heading to Oak Ridge, TN, the top-secret location of the Clinton Engineer Works, the production installation of the

Feynman was briefly transferred to the Oak Ridge facility, where he aided engineers in calculating safety procedures for material storage so that inadvertent criticality accidents could be avoided. He was well known for playfully challenging the security at Los Alamos, and was present for the Trinity test in 1945, viewing the explosion through ...

Richard Feynman was a talented physicist in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos and briefly in nuclear safety at Oak Ridge
How Richard Feynman Saved Eastern Tennessee from Getting Nuked
2014年9月7日 · The most shocking of these items, so far, is finding out that history’s first nuclear explosion almost occurred by accident, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, during World War II. One person prevented this disaster, and that person was Richard Feynman, my favorite scientist in …
Security and Secrecy - Nuclear Museum
2014年6月5日 · A key component of keeping the Manhattan Project secret was making sure Project sites were secret and secure. One obvious reason the Manhattan Engineers District selected Los Alamos, NM, Oak Ridge, TN, and Hanford, WA …
Feynman and the Bomb | Restricted Data
2014年6月6日 · The admixture of approximation methods, neutron diffusion, nuclear cross sections, floods, fires and wooden walls marked Feynman’s correspondence with the Oak Ridge engineers. From April of 1944 to September 1945, whatever else Feynman was doing, he was also deeply enmeshed in the barely-existing field of nuclear engineering.

On completing this work, Feynman was sent to the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the Manhattan Project had its uranium enrichment facilities. He aided the engineers there in devising safety procedures for material storage so that criticality accidents could be avoided, especially when enriched uranium came into contact ...

Feynman also oversaw the overhaul of computer systems used in the research and developed a way to calculate how close fissile material was to reaching a critical state. Later at the Oak Ridge, Tennessee, research facility, he helped determine the safest means of storing nuclear materials.

Today we get a slice of Mr. Feynman’s experiences in Los Alamos and Oak Ridge during the Manhattan Project in Part Three, “Feynman, the Bomb and the Military.” With World War II on the horizon, Feynman began to think how he could use his technical expertise to make a contribution to the war effort.
