Oil Fire Destroys Princeton Atom Smasher
An oil fire nearly ruined Princeton University's 18 million volt cyclotron, one of the first U S atom smashing devices built in 1936. Thick smoke filled the Palmer Physical Laboratory basement as Naval and local fire crews contained the blaze. Dr Milton White said only the sectors may be salvage and rebuilding could take six months after parts had been sent to Los Alamos for the bomb project. Dr Niels Bohr was due to arrive nearby to join the institute for advanced study.
