On September 13, 1944, Enrico Fermi placed the first prepared slug (fuel pellet) into the B-Reactor's pile. For the next two weeks more and more slugs were placed into the machine to initialize the work that the reactor would do. The interim two weeks also consisted of testing the slugs and setting up the pile.
Enrico Fermi was an Italian physicist who, in 1942, built the very first nuclear reactor in Chicago. Fermi was brought in to work on the Manhattan Project and after setting up the reactors at Hanford, moved to Los Alamos, New Mexico. He was present at the [Trinity test] in July 1945.
