Before Oppenheimer, There Was Wilhelm
Learn the incredible history of Chicago Pile 1 and the urgent need to produce pure uranium for its success.
Join award-winning author, Teresa Wilhelm Waldof, in celebrating World Nuclear Energy Day
In February 1942, leaders of the Manhattan Project had a problem: to prove a controlled nuclear chain reaction was possible, they needed pure uranium—tons of it and in less than ten months. With only a few grams in existence, there was little hope anyone could achieve such a feat. Harley Wilhelm, a chemistry professor at Iowa State College, rose to the challenge. He provided the core uranium for the Chicago Pile 1 experiment on December 2, 1942. Wilhelm then invented the mass production process, the Ames Process, which is still in use today.
Learn how Wilhelm accomplished what others had not, enduring explosions, fires, and other obstacles while producing the millions of pounds of uranium needed for Oak Ridge to go live and for the Manhattan Project to succeed.
Teresa Wilhelm Waldof is the world’s leading expert on the Ames Project Section of the Manhattan Project. Her book, Wilhelm’s Way: The Inspiring Story of the Iowa Chemist Who Saved the Manhattan Project, is the winner of numerous awards including the Minnesota Book Award for Nonfiction and the Excellence in Iowa History Award. To purchase an author-signed copy, click here. Wilhelm’s Way is also available from Amazon or your favorite bookseller.

Anthropocene Institute joins World Nuclear Energy Day celebration
Anthropocene Institute celebrates World Nuclear Energy Day with Video Post
Today is World Nuclear Energy Day! Here’s just a few of the reasons we love this powerful energy source:
1. Carbon-Free Power: Nuclear energy is a clean, carbon-free baseload energy source. It generates nearly half of the United States' clean energy, making it a cornerstone in the fight to reduce carbon emissions.
2. Improved Air Quality: By displacing energy sources like coal and natural gas (methane), nuclear energy has prevented millions of deaths linked to air pollution from burning fossil fuels over its operational lifetime.
3. Exceptional Efficiency: Nuclear fuel is remarkably efficient. A single fuel pellet, the size of a gummy bear, can produce the same energy as a ton of coal, enabling high energy output with minimal waste.
4. Unmatched Reliability: Nuclear power plants operate at full capacity 93% of the time, far exceeding other energy sources like wind and solar, ensuring a steady and dependable energy supply.
Nuclear energy stands as a powerful, sustainable solution to modern energy challenges. Let’s celebrate its contribution to a cleaner and more secure energy future!

The Shippingport Reactor celebrated on World Nuclear Energy Day 2024
The pace of technological progress can be a little strange sometimes. Case in point..... The year is 1956, and the world's first commercial #nuclear reactor is sitting on a Norfolk & Western #railroad siding in Hagerstown, MD, having just been dropped off by a #coal-fired #steam locomotive after the first leg of its journey to the Shippingport Atomic Power Station nuclear plant at Shippingport, PA. A Pennsylvania Railroad diesel locomotive brought it the rest of the way, and the reactor was putting power into the grid about sixteen months later on the date of December 2nd, 1957; exactly 15 years after the first critical reaction at Fermi's Chicago Pile 1.
Westinghouse designed the reactor, which was built at Combustion Engineering in Chattanooga, TN, but because of the reactor's bulk (it's actually taller than the locomotive, which is normally a no-no), it had to follow an indirect route to its destination.

The Dinner Party Celebration!
2024 has been an incredibly slow year. Nothing has happened. Literally nothing besides Brat summer. Also, the Atomic Energy Advancement Act. Those are the two main things. We all know that’s not true, but even with everything that happened this year, nuclear was Miss Popular, thanks to announcements from state capitols, the Hill and Silicon Valley.
With its newfound popularity, nuclear may come up at Thanksgiving (or Christmas or other Holiday) dinner, and we want you to be prepared. Here are some tips on how to navigate questions your relatives may have about nuclear energy, so you don’t have to talk about why you’re single or why you’re still exploring what you want to do with your life.

Today’s political leaders seeking to provide clean, low-cost sources of energy in abundance face a choice: Embrace the new age of nuclear technology and harness its power or continue paying the price of inaction.
New analysis published by TBI reveals the impact nuclear power could have had on reducing the world’s emissions, had the technology continued to develop in the past few decades.
The world is turning back to nuclear power as a route to decarbonising its economies. Our new paper calls on governments to better handle the risks and public attitudes towards nuclear power and other technologies to successfully tackle climate change: https://bit.ly/3OwM9A0

Nuclear Energy Enthusiast & Thought
COP29 was packed with incredible moments. I had the honor of moderating the panel discussion on “Green Education Technologies: On the Way to an Equitable and Sustainable Future,” at the Youth Pavilion in Green Zone.
I shared the stage with amazing leaders: Sama Bilbao y Leon, Wei HUANG and Tatiana Terentyeva (Rosatom’s DDG for HR).
Of course what would my day be without being in front of the camera? I also did media interviews highlighting the role of green education and nuclear energy in building a sustainable future.
To cap off an inspiring day, we attended The Nuclear Dream: Immersive Theatre event organized by Rosatom. This unique experience beautifully showcased the potential of nuclear energy through art and storytelling.

Today is #WorldNuclearEnergyDay! ⚛️ This marks the 82nd anniversary of the first nuclear chain reaction, which took place on Dec. 2, 1942, and was led by Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago’s football field.
Here are 5️⃣ fun facts about the historical event:
1️⃣ Led by Fermi, 49 scientists attended the event, with Leona Marshall being the only female researcher present. 👩🔬
2️⃣ During the early years of the #AtomicAge, the term “pile” was used to describe the device that controls the nuclear fission reaction, which later became known as a “reactor”. 🔋
3️⃣ The scientists used instruments named after Winnie the Pooh characters – Piglet, Tigger and Pooh – to monitor the reaction. 🍯
4️⃣ Scientist George Well withdrew the cadmium-plated control rod, initiating the first controlled chain reaction. ⚡️
5️⃣ The group celebrated with a bottle of Chianti poured into paper cups, and most participants signed the wine bottle’s label, which served as the only written record of those who took part in the experiment. 🥤
