Nuclear chain reaction

In the course of the last four months it has been made probable — through the work of Joliot in France as well as Fermi and Szilárd in America — that it may become possible to set up a nuclear chain reaction in a large mass of uranium, by which vast amounts of power and large quantities of new radium-like elements would be generated. Now it appears almost certain that this could be achieved in the immediate future.

Letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, August 2nd, 1939

Letter to M. Berkowitz, October 25, 1950
