Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy multidisciplinary science and engineering
research center, where talented researchers work together to answer the biggest questions facing humanity.
Argonne traces its birth from Enrico Fermi’s secret charge — the Manhattan Project — to create the world’s first
self-sustaining nuclear reaction.
Code-named the “Metallurgical Lab,” the team constructed Chicago Pile (CP) -1, which achieved criticality on
December 2, 1942, using a graphite moderator underneath the University of Chicago’s Stagg football field stands.
Because the experiments were deemed too dangerous to conduct in a major city, the operations were moved to a
spot in nearby Palos Hills and renamed “Argonne” after the surrounding forest.
Early exploration nuclear reactors designed by the Manhattan Project's Metallurgical Laboratory, the direct
predecessor to Argonne National Laboratory, began the development of nuclear technology.
