"In April 1946, the University of Chicago agreed to operate Argonne National Laboratory, with an association of Midwestern universities offering to sponsor the research
, and the university agreed. The University agreed, but the contract was not renewed. In June 1946 the U.S. government signed a contract with Argonnne to conduct research on the effects of radiation on human health. Argon National Laboratories was the first of the Argonian research facilities to be built in the United States. It was a great success, as it was able to produce a large number of highly radioactive materials, including plutonium, uranium, lead, cobalt, iron, copper, nickel, aluminum, graphite, manganese, gold, platinum, silver, palladium, tin, titanium, etc. This was an important milestone in Argon's development. By the end of 1946 Argon was producing a total of about 1,000 tons of plutonium per year. During the war, Argon had produced about 2,500 tons, of which about half of it had been used in atomic bombs. At the time of this war the plutonium production was about 5,800 tons. Since the atomic bomb was being used to destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it would have been a very difficult task to obtain enough plutonium to make a bomb. However, by the early 1950s, a number were produced, which were used for the production of nuclear weapons. These weapons were not
 and development of nuclear weapons.<br /><br />The project, which was to be funded by a $1.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, was canceled after a series of mishaps. The project was eventually abandoned and the project's funding dried up. In the meantime, a group called the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was formed to investigate the matter. They were led by Dr. William Haines (who had been a leading scientist in the field of atomic energy) and Drs. Robert H. Hays (Dr. John Haldeman) & Robert E. Siegel (Robert E., Jr.) to the task of investigating the possibility of a nuclear weapon. Unfortunately, they were unable to find any evidence to support their theory, and they decided to go ahead with their investigation. However, in a desperate attempt to get the truth out, Haney and Sitzler decided that they would have to take the lead in their own investigation.<b]The Atomic Power Commission was led in this direction by William S. Hart (William H., Sr.), who had worked at the AEC for many years. He was also a major figure in nuclear research. His research was based on a theory that a bomb could be created by injecting
