...months of carefree study for 25 to 50 scholars at a time. Eventually the center would like to enhance the influence of the humanities in the same way that Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study boosted the reputation of physics and mathematics by nurturing such geniuses as Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer and Niels Bohr. Says Director Charles Frankel, a philosopher: "We want to stand up and show the power of the humanities." For Executive Officer William Bennett, Research Triangle Park is just the place to accomplish that goal. Says he: "The people here have sold not only an environment...

Basically, all that is required for fission is the bringing together of enough uranium or plutonium in the right proportions...
