House Finds Russians Got Heavy Water
The House Un-American Activities Committee reported what it calls proof that the Soviets received 1,000 grams of heavy water in 1943 for atomic experiments. The panel also questioned 1,000 pounds of uranium compounds the Soviets allegedly obtained in spring 1943, and noted a fifth 1944 shipment was a dud. A casual Pentagon remark about targeting caves in the Southwest where bombs are stored sparked fresh speculation, with officials denying access to atomic information by the former deputy Pentagon official cited.
