By HELEN H: DAVIS Science Service Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. —Transmutation, for centuries the alchemists’ goal, has suddenly become the laboratory method of choice of the group of scientists who worked out the chemistry of the atomic bomb. The account appears in the report, released by the war department here, written by Dr. H. D. Smyth, of Princeton university. The problem was to separate two or more kinds of the rare metal uranium, which differ from each other in no discoverable way except that one is slightly heavier than the other, To separate them by this difference would have been a. slow, tedious and unsatisfactory task, especially since the part that would oe valuable for the project makes up less than one part in a hundred Nn any quantity of the ore, Here the knowledge and skill of shemists who have studied the beAavior of radium and other radioactive elements was put to good \dvantage. It has been found, in vork .with such elements, that heir weight - and their chemical rature depend on two kinds of ininte particles which make up the 1earts of their atoms. Proton Determines Nature

The number of one kind of parAcle, the proton, in the atom heart s responsible for the nature 6f the slement. One proton makes hydroten, 26 protons makes iron, 92 proons makes uranium. ‘The other tind of particle in the atom heart s the neutron. Uranium 235 has a abt result of 92 protons and 143 eutrons, adding up fo 2385, accordng to the chemists’ calculations, vhile uranium 238 has three ‘more Jeutrons than its lighter isotope. | These two uraniums had to be ‘eparated, because only U235 would plit up the way the scientists yanted it to for use in the atomic omb. U238 would not. By lucky |harice, the very property of U238 ivhich made it useless for the purose of the bomb provided the clue hich solved the separation prob-

itself as a phenomenon familiar to scientists as the beta ray. It is the peculiar nature of radioactive elements to change into something else when they emit beta rays, and that something else 1s, oddly enough, not a lighter but a heavier element. Accordingly, when uranium 239, formerly . the heaviest known element, emitted its beta ray -it changed into ‘a still- heavier element, which the scientists working with the material named neptunium. Neptunium proved to be a rather unstable element, and emitted & beta ray in its turn. This change in the atom turned neptunium into another new element, which was named plutonium. The names of these three elements are taken from the three farthest planets of our solar system. Plutonium turned out to be a fairly stable element, about whose’ chemical properties enough was soon learned to prove that chemical separation of this new material from its parent uranium would . be a relatively easy task. Plutonium does not readily follow | the: pattern by which it Was formed, but makes the opposite transformation by which it gives off an alpha ray and turns back into uranium 285. This, however, happens so slowly that there is plenty of time for the atom-split-ting reaction of plutonium to do its work. "a

By Science Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-—Dis-closure of a hair-raising war danger now now happily passed out which must have given a handful of scientists and top government of-

pears in technical information about the atomic bomb released by the war department here. The possibility that the Nazis! might make a surprise use of radioactive poisons in a “particularly vicious form of poison gas” was considered early in the American scientists’ atom splitting experiments, Defensive measures were planned. Uranium Reaction Radioactive poisons - resulting from atom splitting were first mentioned in May, 1940, in a report of a National Academy of Sciences committee, ®

They develop as the chain reaction of uranium splitting proceeds and have, in practice, turned out to be “the most troublesome feature of a reacting pile” They differ chemically from uranium, 80 it was believed it might be possible to extrict them and use them “like a particularly viclous form of poison gas.” Not. Recommended This idea was developed in | - port written by Dr. E. Wigner uid Dr. H. D. Smyth of Princeton university on Dec. 10, 1941, the day be-

might be sufficient to make a large ares uninhabitable.” The use of these poisons was not recommended by the scientists, nor has it been seriously proposed since by the responsible authorities. The scientists and authorities, however, knew that the Gérmans were also racing to produce atomic power for military use.

“Serious consideration was given,” the report states, “to the possibility that the Germans might make surprise. use of radioactive poisons and/ defensive planned.” Radioactive xenon, radioactive jodine and some 28 other chemical elements, all highly radioactive, are produced when uranium 8 split by fission. The safe disposal of these poisonous. gases, so as to avoid endangering the territory surrounding the uranium-splitting plants, was a troublesome problem. The scientists were.able to solve this as well as to plan for defense against possible use by the enemy of radioactive poisons produced by uranium fission.
