Uranium Fuel from Chicago Pile 1 (CP-1)

            National Atomic Testing Museum

On the tenth anniversary of CP-1 going critical, a small amount of fuel, encased in plastic, was presented to those who assisted Enrico Fermi in the design and construction of the reactor. This set was presented to David F. Cope (Army Colonel and career at the Atomic Energy Commission). A brass plate on the mahogany base used to hold the sphere (since broken) reads "Fuel from world's first atomic reactor. Dec. 2, 1942. Stagg Field, Chicago III.
