Time: 3:22 p.m, December 2, 1942. Place: Racquets Court under West Stands of Stagg Field, University of Chicago. Photograph of an original painting by Gary Sheehan. Depicted is his version of the scene when scientist(s) observed the world's first nuclear reactor (CP-1) as it became self-sustaining. No photographers were present. Fifteen years later the artist worked for nearly four months to reconstruct the mood and physical details of this historic event Stock Photo

Argonne Illinois. Scale model of CP-1. The display shows the first pile, the racquets court in which the pile was located and significant details of the West Stands of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. It depicts the historic scene on December 2nd 1942 when Dr Enrico Fermi and associates achieved the first self sustaining chain reaction and thereby initiated the controlled release of nuclear energy Stock Photo

The first nuclear reactor was erected in 1942 in the West Stands section of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago; 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 Nat Stock Photo
