Did a WWII nuclear experiment make the U of C radioactive?
The world’s first controlled nuclear chain reaction took place beneath the University of Chicago. Curious City's Geiger counter couldn’t detect any radiation footprint from the site. (Whew!) However, producer Katie Mingle looked at whether safety was first and foremost as scientists ran the experiment. http://goo.gl/p6pv18 (photo: WBEZ/Logan Jaffe)
