Nuclear Science for the Manhattan Project

Abstract

This is a transcript of my talk for Nuclear Data for Science and Technology conference, ND2022. The talk is available on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_WYcTHco00. This work is derived from a 2021 paper I wrote in the American Nuclear Society’s journal Nuclear Technology 207, S24 (2021). It was published in a special issue together with twenty-three other papers, for the 75th Anniversary of the culmination of the Manhattan Project. It would be better to watch the video than read this transcript!
