Throwback Thursday: The legend of SCRAM
Ax man. Scram. Trip. Yes, this is Throwback Thursday, but no—we aren’t revisiting the slang of American countercultures from decades past. We are, however, pondering a term central to a very important day in nuclear history: December 2, 1942—the anniversary of controlled nuclear fission, first achieved with CP-1 at the University of Chicago.
“This program has allowed me to learn more about nuclear science outside of the classroom and sparked my interest in nuclear science.”
— Richard, High School Student and Center Program Participant
We deliver on a promise: distill the complex world of nuclear into information that is accurate and engaging. The Center’s message is online, in the news, up on Capitol Hill, and across the desks of students and teachers from coast to coast.
