First nuclear reaction | The Day Tomorrow Began
As World War II raged, a group of Manhattan Project scientists gathered beneath the football stands at the University of Chicago to work on a secret experiment that would radically reshape the 20th century.
Led by Enrico Fermi, they worked feverishly to build a 20-foot-tall structure of graphite and uranium called "Chicago Pile-1," and on Dec. 2, 1942, achieved the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction.
The breakthrough marked the beginning of the Atomic Age—and it would change everything from energy to medicine to the geopolitical landscape. It resulted in a devastating weapon, a new way to make electricity, a new blueprint for scientific research and the creation of the first national scientific laboratories, new tools to understand biology and a new global landsca...

Argonne nuclear pioneers: Chicago Pile 1
On December 2, 1942, 49 scientists, led by Enrico Fermi, made history when Chicago Pile 1 (CP-1) went critical and produced the world's first self-sustaining, controlled nuclear chain reaction. Seventy years later, two of the last surviving CP-1 pioneers, Harold Agnew and Warren Nyer, recall that historic day.

How Was the First Nuclear Reactor Developed? (Chicago Pile 1)
On 02 December 1942, the world changed forever when 50 scientists with several Nobel Prizes among them stood on a balcony over a cold and damp squash court inside an abandoned football stadium and watched the instruments record the first sustained nuclear chain reaction. The atomic age was born, and in less than three years from the experiment at the University of Chicago that generated less than a Watt of electricity, the first atomic bomb exploded over Hiroshima, Japan, devastating the city.
In this video, we will look at the background and development of the Chicago Pile-1, the first nuclear reactor in history, including the roles played by Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard, and even a cameo by Albert Einstein. Finally, we'll visit the location of the reactor's final resting place that you ...

The Nuclear Reactor Graveyard
Buried in the forest just outside Chicago are the remains of two important nuclear reactors. How they ended up there is a story steeped in Chicago's history. It all started on the South Side of Chicago in 1942 as America had just entered the war. In less than a year, history would be made on an abandoned squash court under the stands of the football field at the University of Chicago.

1942: UChicago’s race to the first nuclear reaction
Scholars discuss the scientists at the University of Chicago who, on Dec. 2, 1942, achieved the first self-sustained nuclear chain reaction—as well as the implications of the historic experiment.

The World's First Human-Made Nuclear Reactor
Today on SciShow, Hank brings us a little science history, telling us the tale of the world's first human-made nuclear reactor, which was built by a team of scientists and students led by Enrico Fermi in a converted squash court under a football field in Chicago. Yes, that Chicago.
Scientists discovered a natural nuclear reactor that had existed in Africa about two billion years ago, which is why we can't say that this is the world's first EVER nuclear reactor. Read more about that here:

Exploring Nuclear Fallout Shelters From 60 Years Ago
The war in Ukraine is reigniting fears of a radioactive dirty bomb. Recently, New York City released a chilling PSA on surviving radioactive fallout. A dirty bomb exploding in New York City could force the evacuation of millions of people. But it may surprise you that there are designated fallout shelters in towns across the United States from the Cold War. Inside Edition's Steven Fabian toured a fallout shelter in the basement of a public library in New Jersey.

Going Nuclear - The Science Of Nuclear Weapons - Part 2 - Chain Reactions
With the basic theory having shown that a nuclear chain reaction was possible the next step is to actually make it work, first with a stable nuclear reactor - the Chicago Pile 1. Then we discuss how to go from a controllable reactor to the very first nuclear device - the Little Boy.
