Thorium Brotherhood -- In November 1943, Waffen-SS Jonas Lie started shipping enriched uranium from the Halden reactor (owned by Jahre, Onassis & Co), with Nazi submarines, to America via Onassis, who had moved his base of operations from Buenos Aires to New York, and the Kennedy Compound at Cape Cod, Massachusetts. On Oyster Bay, Onassis flagrantly pursued other women and fraternized with Nazis ...

U-234 surrendered to US Navy ships on 14 May 1945 with a cargo that included 560 kg uranium oxide, two Me 262 jet fighters, and 10 jet engines.

Hydrick, 1998 ISBN: 0975985310 The traditional history of the atomic bomb accepts as an unimportant footnote the arrival of U-234 on United States shores, and admits the U-boat carried uranium oxide. The traditional history denies, however, that the uranium on board U-234 was enriched and therefore easily usable in an atomic bomb. The accepted history asserts there is no evidence that the uranium stocks of U-234 were transferred into the Manhattan Project, although recent suggestions have hinted that this may have occurred. And the traditional history asserts that the bomb components on board U-234 arrived too late to be included in the atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan. The documentation indicates quite differently on all accounts. U235 is the scientific designation of enriched uranium - the type of uranium required to fuel an atomic bomb. Uranium that has had its proportion of the isotope U235 increased compared to the more common isotope of uranium, U238, is known as enriched uranium. When that enrichment becomes 70 percent or above, it is bomb-grade uranium. The process of enriching uranium during the war was highly technical and very expensive - it still is. Upon first reading that the uranium on board U-234 was stored in gold-lined cylinders, this author tracked down Clarence Larsen, former director of the leading uranium enrichment process at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the Manhattan Project's uranium enrichment facilities were housed. In a telephone conversation, I asked Mr. Larsen what, if anything, would be the purpose of shipping uranium in gold-lined containers. Mr. Larsen remembered that the Oak Ridge program used gold trays when working with enriched uranium. He explained that, because uranium enrichment was a very costly process, enriched uranium needed to be protected jealously, but because it is very corrosive, it is easily invaded by any but the most stable materials, and would then become contaminated. To prevent the loss to contamination of the invaluable enriched uranium, gold was used. Gold is one of the most stable substances on earth. While expensive, Mr. Larsen explained, the cost of gold was a drop in the bucket compared to the value of enriched uranium. Would raw uranium, rather than enriched uranium, be stored in gold containers, I asked? Not likely, Mr. Larsen responded. The value of raw uranium is, and was at the time, inconsequential compared to the cost of gold. https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net%2Fciencia%2Fatomicbomb%2Fchap01.htm Story Of Sunken Sub Has Holes, Experts Say U-boat Reportedly Found Off Cape Cod June 20, 1993|By Boston Globe.
