[edit] Bohr's Role

Maud Ray was not Bohrs old girlfriend. She was a housekeeper at a place he'd lived when he studied in Britain under Rutherford. And he didn't ask for her - he told them to tell her.

OK I have amended the article, but with your detailed sources, you might have done a better job.JMcC 09:15, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I've got it down "as his children's former governess", on p15 Pierre, Andrew J "Nuclear Politics : The British Experience With An Independent Strategic Force, 1939-1970" (1972), and he is citing Gowing, Margaret “Britain and Atomic Energy, 1939-1945” (1964) - which is the "offcial" history of the UK bomb project.

[edit] MAUD or Maud

Why is there discrepency between MAUD and Maud. Which is it? And if it's MAUD, what does that stand for? Rukky 19:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I think we should move it to Maud Committee. It was named after someone called Maud, so it is not an abbreviation. Anyone disagree? JMcC 20:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thats the point of the annecdote! - It does and dosen't stand for anything!!! However looking in Margaret Gowing's offcial history of the british nuclear weapons project sereis of book (all 3 are very thick!), its is reffered to as Maud rather than MAUD.
