1958 US–UK Mutual Defence Agreement (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This is an unusual article, which grew organically from humble beginnings. I overhauled it in 2017. It wasn't my intention that it could be a featured article someday, but in its current form I think that it might be. I'd like to draw your attention to the pic of Eisenhower laying the cornerstone for the AEC's headquarters in Germantown, Maryland. The AEC decided to relocate there so it would be safe when Washington, DC, was razed by an atomic blast. Somebody thought that it would be cool if Eisenhower laid the foundation stone with a trowel made from radioactive uranium that had been in the first nuclear reactor, Chicago Pile-1. (With a wooden handle made from one of the benches at Stagg Field.) The Secret Service did not agree, so it is not the one he is using in the picture. Today the trowel is in the Smithsonian.

Support This article is in great shape. I have only two minor comments:

  • "The British hydrogen bomb programme successfully tested a hydrogen bomb in the Operation Grapple test" - I'd suggest rewording to avoid repeating 'hydrogen bomb' and 'test' in the same sentence

G'day Nikkimaria, would you be willing to take a look at the image licensing on this one, please? It looks close to promotion. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:16, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
