Los Alamos Science No. 6, Fall 1982

Hans Bethe on the History of the H-Bomb, An Interview with Stan Ulam and Marc Kac, Chaos in Deterministic Systems, & More...
Hans Bethe's memo, republished here, was aimed at refuting the notion the J. Robert Oppenheimer had delayed the development of thermonuclear weapons. Other articles focus on topics in nonlinear science and bioscience.

Los Alamos Science No. 7, Winter/Spring 1983

The Evolution of the Laboratory
In 1983 many of the pioneers who helped develop the first fission and thermonuclear bombs were still at LANL and able to relay their first-hand experiences. This volume is filled with their stories and insights into the scientific and technological developments that grew from the nuclear weapons work.

Los Alamos Science No. 8, Summer 1983

Nuclear Chemistry
The evolution of nuclear and radiochemistry at Los Alamos is a story that reflects the growth and development of the Laboratory itself. The essential role of nuclear chemistry in diagnosing the performance of nuclear weapons during both aboveground and underground tests led to a rich program in basic and applied research in medicine, geochemistry, atmospheric studies, and the migration and containment of nuclear wastes. This volume also discusses the use of magnetic resonance imaging (formerly called nuclear magnetic resonance) to trace basic metabolic pathways.
