		Bradbury, however, did not know the connector’s composition, how it was manufactured nor did he know its strength or the stresses to which it was subjected.
		Specifically, Bradbury assumed that the manufacturer’s mold for the connector was round and that the connector became out of round only after it left the mold but before it was fully set.
		Further, Bradbury’s opinion that a particular stress caused the plastic part to reshape and break was speculative because he did not have any data regarding the amount of stress or the stress resistance of the part.

	Norris Bradbury \| Biography \| atomicarchive.com
		Bradbury, born May 30, 1909, in Santa Barbara, California., earned a doctorate in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, for work on the mobility of ions in gases.
		Oppenheimer hand-picked Bradbury to succeed him when Oppenheimer was preparing to leave Los Alamos at the end of the Manhattan Project.
		Bradbury stopped the hemorrhage of talent out of Los Alamos and then helped convince the nation to maintain and expand its nuclear expertise, guiding the lab as it developed nuclear and conventional weapons in the key years of the Cold War.

	History: Bradbury/Eisenbud/Watters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Bradbury took over in 1945 as the director of what was soon billed as "the best-equipped physics laboratory in the world." He had been invited by Oppenheimer to do so and, after confering with his family, agreed to stay on for six months or until a permanent successor was found, whichever came first.
		Bradbury oversaw the transition and retired in 1970 when the Atomic Energy Commission presented him with its highest honor, the Enrico Fermi Award.
		During his tenure, the laboratory developed the first thermonuclear weapons and continued to break ground with research in both nuclear and non-nuclear weaponry, in addition to building a solid foundation for basic research.

		Howard Cady, the current Bradbury House owner, had thinned surrounding trees to 50 to 60 per acre, creating open spaces around the house.

		A year before the president learned the full extent of American weakness, and while the Congress still debated and the United Nations discussed the future of atomic energy, the general pushed ahead without waiting for official policy to emerge.
		A civilian contractor, Monsanto, would soon resume manufacturing the bombs’ non-nuclear components, and he ordered Bradbury’s scientists to push ahead with research to improve the bombs and make more efficient use of scarce radioactive elements.

	How Ulam set the stage \| thebulletin.org
		I knew both Ulam and Teller well--we worked in the same building under J. Carson Mark, leader of the Theoretical Division, one of about 10 divisions that comprised the lab, directed by Norris Bradbury.
		I was transferred to Los Alamos in 1945, and in 1946 I took over a small group, part of the Theoretical Division.
		Both responded positively; Ulam later wrote that Bradbury "quickly grasped its possibilities and showed interest in having it pursued." The next day, Ulam conferred with Teller in a lengthy but productive meeting--a meeting as dramatic, perhaps, as the infamous 1941 Bohr--Heisenberg meetings in Copenhagen.

		The best place to start a tour of Los Alamos is to pull into the small parking lot on the right side of Central Avenue overlooked by the Bradbury Science Museum, named for Norris Bradbury, director of the lab from 1945 to 1970.
		The Bradbury is not difficult to find -- it's on the right, maybe a half-mile from the entrance to town, which is marked by two things: a tall guard tower, left over from the ultra-secrecy days during the war, and a building that houses Bechtel's people who do subcontracting work at the lab.
		Small museum is five-minute walk from the Bradbury; exhibits on early New Mexico, the Manhattan Project and postwar atomic tests at Bikini Atoll in the Pacific.
