was he ever diagnosed with cancer?
Yes. Bladder Cancer
Leo Szilard
In 1960, Szilard was diagnosed with bladder cancer. He underwent cobalt therapy at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital using a cobalt 60 treatment regimen that his doctors gave him a high degree of control over. A second round of treatment with an increased dose followed in 1962. The higher dose did its job and his cancer never returned.
when did we first start using nuclear energy 1970's what is this power? It is a power that uses nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. what happens to the waste of this process? It is disposed. is it used in space ? Yes. has it faced any attacks? UNANSWERABLE where was this technology first used? United States of America any particular project in that country where this was used? Yes. The first man-made reactor, the research reactor known as Chicago Pile-1 what was its importance? The successful test of CP-1 not only proved that a nuclear reactor was feasible, it demonstrated that the "k" factor was larger than originally thought. what site was chosen for this? A suitable location long, wide and high, sunk slightly below ground level, in a space under the stands at Stagg Field where did the concept of this project originate from? It was first hypothesized by the Hungarian scientist Leo Szilard. He realized that if a nuclear reaction produced neutrons or dineutrons, which then caused further nuclear reactions, the process might be self-perpetuating. who was this person? Hungarian-American physicist and inventor. was he ever a faculty in any institution? No does he have any published materials? Yes. A book of short stories, "The Voice of the Dolphins" (1961)
