US physicists' 1940 self-censorship of fission papers produced the silence Flyorov noticed in 1942

Documented · occurred What these labels mean →

From spring 1940 American physicists voluntarily withheld fission papers through a National Research Council committee proposed by Gregory Breit, without government participation. In 1942 the Soviet physicist Georgy Flyorov noticed that no new fission papers were appearing in American journals, concluded there was a secret project, and in April 1942 wrote to Stalin urging a Soviet bomb program. The Bush attribution in the source is a separate, contradicted record.
