Milton, you are irrepressible, another outstanding piece of work.  I could hardly find a place for a comma.
In section 1.2, Post World War II, where you describe the development and testing of the ''Super'', the reader gets no sense of the role of LANL in that development and testing, and subsequent activities related to the H-Bomb.  At least I did not.
It's not important, but I missed not seeing reference to General Leslie Groves, though he's certainly covered in ''Silent Voices'' on the Bibliography subpage.
Re External Links, consider: [http://www.atomicarchive.com/index.shtml atomicarchive.com].  A section therein says:
:"LANL was created in 1943 to serve as a secret laboratory dedicated to research, development, and construction of nuclear weapons. Facilities include plutonium and tritium processing plants, an eight megawatt research reactor and various laser and high explosives buildings. Until April 1984, Los Alamos had the capability to fabricate and assemble nuclear weapon test devices." [http://www.atomicarchive.com/Almanac/USAFacilities_static.shtml here].

Comment on an excellent article

Milton, you are irrepressible, another outstanding piece of work. I could hardly find a place for a comma.

In section 1.2, Post World War II, where you describe the development and testing of the Super, the reader gets no sense of the role of LANL in that development and testing, and subsequent activities related to the H-Bomb. At least I did not.

It's not important, but I missed not seeing reference to General Leslie Groves, though he's certainly covered in Silent Voices on the Bibliography subpage.

Re External Links, consider: atomicarchive.com. A section therein says:

"LANL was created in 1943 to serve as a secret laboratory dedicated to research, development, and construction of nuclear weapons. Facilities include plutonium and tritium processing plants, an eight megawatt research reactor and various laser and high explosives buildings.
