Site of first controlled nuclear chain reaction

Site of first controlled nuclear chain reaction
Chicago, Illinois (IL), US
The lab where the first nuclear chain reaction took place, in 1942, was in a converted handball court at the University of Chicago, under the grandstands at the Stagg Field Stadium. Stagg Field was demolished in the late 1960's, but a monument was constructed at the site, a 12 foot tall bronze sculpture designed by Henry Moore.
