user.dccnet.com Except for some of the dates this article which appeared in the Montreal Gazette begins to have some of its facts straight. What was publicized widely about the bomb has to be hooey. The more they repeat it, the more you know it's hooey. Why would they want one person to know the real facts? It was only the most secret operation in military history. Why lie about it? The info about the ZEEP reactor is basically correct except for the date. The date should read 1943 not 1945. Slight errror. In 1943 the Chalk River Reactor was supplying electricity for the town of Rolphton Ontario. That is slightly more advanced than the dedication plaque points to. Slight error number two. So who told me about these zany facts? 1. a resident of Rolphton Ontario during the war. 2. The procurement officer for the Chalk River Nuclear Reactor. 3. My father, who operated the Chalk River Nuclear Reactor in 1954. 4. Gilbert Labine, a friend of my father's, in 1955. 5. A women scientist who worked on the bomb when she graduated U of T in 1939. She described to me in 1962, how she saw the first person to die in nuclear experimentation when he slipped with a screwdriver holding two spheres of uranium apart behind a Niobium shield. That was in Canada at Chalk River, or Rolphton as the town is known. She was in the room at the time. 6. my father's 4th year engineering exams at Malvern, in 1934 which asked a question about how much enriched uranium it would take to form a runaway chain reaction based on known decay rates. If they all lied, it just goes to show you that you can't trust those cockeyed eyewitneses, but you can believe what you read in the newspapers. EC<:-}
