Description: Heavy Water and the Wartime Race for Nuclear Energy by Per F. Dahl Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Covers the discovery and early uses of deuterium before World War II and its large-scale production by Norsk Hydro in Norway, especially under German control. This work also discusses the French-German race for the Norwegian heavy-water stocks in 1940 and heavy waters importance for the subsequent German uranium project. Publisher Description Heavy water played a sinister role in the race for nuclear energy during World War II. It was a key factor in Germanys bid to harness atomic energy primarily as a source of electric power; its acute shortage was a factor in Japans decision not to pursue seriously nuclear weaponry; its very existence was a nagging thorn in the side of the Allied powers. This text concentrates on the circumstances whereby Norway became the pre-eminent producer of heavy water and on the scientific role the rare isotope of hydrogen played in the wartime efforts by the Axis and Allied powers alike. The book covers the discovery and early uses of deuterium before World War II; its large-scale production by Norsk Hydro in Norway, especially under German control; the French-German race for the Norwegian heavy-water stocks in 1940; its importance for the subsequent German uranium project, including Allied sabotage and bombing of the Norwegian plants; likewise its lesser role in Allied projects, especially, the United States and Canada.The text concludes with an overall assessment of the importance of heavy water for the German programme, which alone staked everything on heavy water in its quest for a nuclear chain reaction.
