Robert Kupp joined the Manhattan Project at Oak Ridge in January 1945. Kupp was a supervisor in the Line Recorder Department at K-25, where he monitored a mass spectrometer that determined the concentration of various material in the cascade while it was being processed. After the war, Kupp went on to a prestigious career as a nuclear engineer and published a book about his work experiences, A Nuclear Engineer in the Twentieth Century.
