Was there ever a radiation hazard from that or a big cleanup? Seems very "early days safety standards". | ||

That reactor was run at a very low power level, so there was little activity. It was dismantled in 1943 and the parts moved to make CP-2 near Chicago at a site that later became Argonne National Laboratory. CP-2 had shielding (but no cooling) and operated at a few kilowatts. |
