In an experiment at this location, the first-ever SCRAM mechanism, a vat of cadmium solution, wasintroduced. The actual goal of that experiment at this location was to determine the reproduction factor inthe four-factor formula. A giant square balloon surrounded the apparatus of that experiment at thislocation in order to remove all air. That experiment at this location was overseen by Arthur Compton, headof the Metallurgical Laboratory. That experiment at this location used 57 layers of a (*) graphite cubic latticefor deceleration and was conducted underneath a football field, on an abandoned squash court. For 10 points, namethis university where a 1942 experiment led by Enrico Fermi produced the world's first self-sustained nuclearreaction.
