Best Answer

He was in charge of a team which first demonstrated that a nuclear chain reaction could be produced. This was in December 1942 and was done under the Manhattan Project during WW2, under very secret security at the time, in Chicago. The techniques were applied to the much larger reactors built at Hanford Wa which produced the required plutonium for weapons. None of these reactors produced electricity.
