Excerpt
Excerpt: With doubt and uncertainty hanging over the project throughout 1944 it is not surprising that one of the first and most heavily emphasized efforts in the test preparations was planning for the recovery of active material in case the nuclear explosion failed to take place. In 1944 there was barely enough plutonium available to conduct the essential experiments and the outlook for increased production was dim. It seemed absolutely essential that the active material not be wasted in an unsuccessful test.
