1.1946年5月,在美国基尼岛的原子弹实验室里工作着一位青年科学家,他是加拿大人,名叫斯洛廷.2.斯洛廷的工作十分危险.他用手工操作两块半球状的铀块,使它们衔合起来,然后密切观察发生的现象.当它们恰好达到链式反应的临界点时,立即把两个半球分开.当时设备十分简陋,操作工具只是两把螺丝刀.3.一次他偶而失手,螺丝刀滑掉了.两块铀滑到了一起,达到了临界质量,顿时整个房间里闪烁着眩目的闪光——一场核爆炸眼看就要发生.斯洛廷很镇定,以
1. In May 1946, working as a young scientist in the atomic bomb laboratory at the U.S.A., Keene Island, in the United States, he was a Canadian named Slotin.2 The work of Slotin was very dangerous, and he manually operated two hemispherical Of the uranium lumps that brought them together and then closely observed what happened, and when they reached the critical point of the chain reaction, they immediately separated the two hemispheres when the equipment was rudimentary and the operating tool was just two screwdrivers. Once he missed the screwdriver, the screwdriver slipped away, and the two uranium slipped together to reach the critical mass, and suddenly the entire room shone with a glittering flash - a nuclear explosion was about to happen.
