At the new Savannah River nuclear reactor in South Carolina, at the suggestion and intermediation of John Wheeler, scientists Reines and Cowan consistently and repeatably measure a source of abundant neutrinos for the first time: two per hour! And they realize Wheeler’s idea. They thus win the case of champagne offered by Pauli, a full 42 years earlier. This is the continuation of the “Project Poltergeist” begun at the Hanford reactor in Washington State.
