video seminar - Fermi

["Frame, Paul" <FrameP@ORAU.GOV>]

Thought some of the history buffs out there might be interested in the

webcast of a seminar Alvin Weinberg will be giving Wednesday September 5

from 1:30 to 2:30 PM EST. It is part of a series of seminars sponsored by

the Nuclear Engineering Department at the University of Tennessee. 



The title of the presentation is "Enrico Fermi and the World's First

Controlled Self-Sustaining Chain Reaction" 

Dr. Weinberg was a member of the Manhattan Project team led by Enrico Fermi

that produced the world's first controlled, self-sustaining chain reaction

on December 2, 1942. This year, 2001, marks the 100th anniversary of the

birth of Enrico Fermi. The link is:

You will need Real Player in order to view it  - and some good luck  -  for

something like this, I'd say its a 50/50 shot.
