Abstract

The article "Resonance Reactions" by Eugene P. Wigner discusses the technical aspects of establishing a nuclear chain reaction to produce plutonium. Wigner explains the importance of neutron absorption in uranium isotopes, particularly U-238 and U-235, in the process. The article delves into the mathematical considerations and practical applications of resonance reactions in nuclear chain reactions. Wigner also reflects on the role of scientists in different countries and the factors that contributed to the success of the Chicago Project in the United States. [Extracted from the article]
