Leona Woods Leona Woods Leona Harriet Woods (August 9, 1919 – November 10, 1986), later known as Leona Woods Marshall and Leona Woods Marshall Libby, was an American physicist who helped build the first nuclear reactor and the first atomic bomb. At age 23, she was the youngest and only female member of the team which built and experimented with the world's first nuclear reactor (then called a "pile"), Chicago Pile-1, in a project led by her mentor Enrico Fermi. In particular, Woods was instrumental in the construction and then utilization of geiger counters for analysis during experimentation. She was the only
R4 nuclear reactor the pressure vessel and containment building were subsequently used for experiments into reactor behaviour under accident conditions. The Nuclear reactor, the oil fired power station and surronding 250 hectares of land and water was acquired by Synthesis Real Estate during 2018. This reactor was built as part of the budding nuclear program for Sweden. This reactor's construction began some time during the Cold War(presumably the 1960s). The large facility was intended to bring power as well as provide plutonium for this upcoming nuclear program. Though, the construction ended in the 1960s, when the nuclear ambition of Sweden was killed. Part
