That Blue-RPX sounds dangerous. I wonder if these people from S.T. Explosive are just feeding the Times a line or if there is some misinterpretation going on here.
As things stand right now, uranium research in the United States is still stagnating. The action taking since the Einstein letter to FDR was composed a year ago had consisted of only setting up a Uranium Committee which has only recently been absorbed by the National Defense Research Council. They have allocated a total of $140,000 towards uranium research, 40,000 of it to research nuclear cross sections in order to firm up some of the physics’ constants, and the other 100k for Fermi-Szilard’s large scale uranium graphite experiment which is only the first step towards creating the first chain reaction.
Meanwhile in Germany, at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute work has begun on designing a wooden laboratory that is to be used as a “uranium burner”. It is being built on the Biology and Virus Research facility and labeled the Virus House to discourage the curious.
