‎First printing of 5 importent papers containing substantial contributions to the development and understanding of the fission process in the crucial year 1939, the results leading to the creation the atomic bomb and nuclear energy production. Among the papers here are Francis Perrin's landmark paper: ""Calcul relatif aux conditions éventuelles de transmutation en chaine de l'uranium."" (in 2 parts).Nuclear fission of heavy elements was discovered on December 17, 1938 by Otto Hahn and his assistant Fritz Strassmann, and explained theoretically in January 1939 by Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Robert Frisch. The Group at College de France, headed by Joliot and Perrin, worked in the month after January intensively with the uranium processes and succeeded in establishing the possibility of nuclear chain reactions and nuclear energy production.""The remaining piece of the fission/atomic bomb concept was provided in 1939 by Francis Perrin who introduced the concept of the critical mass of uranium required to produce a self-sustaining release of energy. His theories were extended by Rudolf Peierls at Birmingham University and the resulting calculations were of considerable importance in the development of the atomic bomb. Perrin's group in Paris continued their studies and demonstrated that a chain reaction could be sustained in a uranium-water mixture (the water being used to slow down the neutrons) provided external neutrons were injected into the system. They also demonstrated the idea of introducing neutron-absorbing material to limit the multiplication of neutrons and thus control the nuclear reaction (which is the basis for the operation of a nuclear power station)."" ‎

Après la guerre, il est nommé à la tête de la division J à Los Alamos. Il a été le directeur ou l'assistant directeur de nombreux essais nucléaires au cours des années 1940 et 1950. - Au cours des années 1950, Alvin Graves est directeur des essais nucléaire au Nevada Test Site. Il devient critique envers ceux qui soulignent les risques liés à ces derniers, affirmant que ces derniers sont de « faibles tire-au-flanctrad ». Porte-parole du site, il fait le tour des environs pour rassurer la population sur les activités qui s'y tiennent et sur l'absence de dangers. À la tête de la division J du Laboratoire national de Los Alamos5, Graves gère la plupart des essais nucléaires de la fin des années 1940 et des années 1950, incluant les exercices Desert Rock et Castle Bravo. - Darol Kenneth Froman (October 23, 1906 September 11, 1997) was the Deputy Director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory from 1951 to 1962. He served as a group leader from 1943 to 1945, and a division head from 1945 to 1948. He was the scientific director of the Operation Sandstone nuclear tests at Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific in 1948, and Assistant Director for Weapons Development from 1949 to 1951. ex-library copy, track on sticker and numer on the bottom of the spine, editor's binding remains in rather very good condition, text is clean, but few ex-library markings, stamps, bookplate, number, with the cancellation stamp‎
