		Viscount Portal of Hungerford, Britain's Controller of Atomic Energy at the Ministry of Supply, heard that the military wanted a stockpile of 1,000 British atom bombs by 1957 in readiness for a possible all-out nuclear war.
		Tedder therefore mapped out a new timeline on a tiny scrap of paper: they should start with 15 bombs in 1952 and then double production every year for five years, giving a grand total of 945 bombs by the end of 1957.
		Portal's reply was more realistic: "It seems to me that in the present state of the country, it would be a very long time indeed before production at anything like this rate could be achieved," he replied.
