  • The Ames Project was a research and development project that was part of the larger Manhattan Project to build the first atomic bombs during World War II. It was founded by Frank Spedding from Iowa State College in Ames, Iowa as an offshoot of the Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago devoted to chemistry and metallurgy, but became a separate project in its own right. The Ames Project developed the Ames Process, a method for preparing pure uranium metal that the Manhattan Project needed for its atomic bombs and nuclear reactors. Between 1942 and 1945, it produced over 1,000 short tons (910 t) of uranium metal. It also developed methods of preparing and casting thorium, cerium and beryllium. In October 1945 Iowa State College received the Army-Navy "E" Award for Excellence in Production, an award usually only given to industrial organizations. In 1947 it became the Ames Laboratory, a national laboratory under the Atomic Energy Commission. (en)
  • 埃姆斯计划（英語：Ames Project）是美国二战期间曼哈顿计划中的一个研发计划，由爱荷华州立大学的在爱荷华州埃姆斯市设立，最开始是作为芝加哥大学冶金实验室的分支设立，但后来则脱离开始独立运作。该项目研制出了，可以制备曼哈顿计划用于核武器和核反应堆的提纯铀金属。1942年至1945年间，埃姆斯计划制造了超过1,000短噸（910公噸）的铀金属。埃姆斯计划还研制出了钍、铈和铍的制备、铸模方法。1947年，埃姆斯计划改组为埃姆斯实验室。 (zh)
