Jan 1, 2004 · Three papers from May and June of 1939 explored the conditions necessary to sustain a chain reaction. 4 The first, by Francis Perrin, was published in the 1 May edition of Comptes Rendus B. Near the bottom of the second page of that paper, in the context of achieving a moderated-neutron chain reaction in U 3 O 8, he wrote, “d’ou une mass critiqu...
