NMERDI, Edward Teller, Men and Boys
 "By the time the state legislature created the
New Mexico Energy Research and Development Institute (NMERDI) I was
acquainted with most of the men at the state's institutions of higher learning
who were principal investigators of the projects funded by the energy
research program; a number of those men during the war had been Manhattan
Project scientists at Los Alamos. All those
former Los Alamos scientists to whom I showed the "History" between
May and August of 1980 were intrigued by the reference that document makes to
Port Chicago and fascinated that a document had ever gotten out of Los Alamos
that provides so much detail about the design and effects of the explosion of
an atomic bomb, but none of them knew the name Port Chicago. They agreed,
however, that Edward Teller, the "Father of the H-bomb," would
certainly be able to identify Port Chicago and say what that reference in the
document signified."
