Manhattan Project U235 production data, 1943-1945
 "' This note is the only certain evidence so
far discovered that J. Robert Oppenheimer was personally involved in review
and analysis of scientific reports descriptive of the Port Chicago explosion.
Twenty-two years of investigation into the
Port Chicago explosion have produced tantalizing evidences of several as yet
undiscovered Government reports and analyses that pertain to the explosion.
One of those evidences is recognition that the copy of John Burchard's Port
Chicago explosion report held by Los Alamos Archives was, at some later date,
transmitted as "Enclosure (F)" of an undiscovered report.
Demonstrably that undiscovered report to which Burchard's report was made
enclosure "Enclosure (F)" originated at Los
Alamos."
