Feb. 29,1908, Sankt Petersburg, Russia - Nov. 19,2002, Sofia, Bulgaria) Kaishev was born in Russia where his father was at that time at the Russian General Staff Academy. He graduated with a diploma in chemistry from Sofia University in 1930. As a Humboldt fellow he was in Germany (Berlin and Breslau) and obtained his Ph.D. degree from Technische Hochschule zu Breslau under the supervision of Franz Simon (1893-1956) in 1932 [i, ii].

At Oxford in December 1940, Franz Simon, now officially working for the MAUD Committee, produced a report nearly as crucial to the future of uranium-bomb development as the original Frisch-Peierls memoranda had been. It was titled Estimate of the size of an actual separation plant. Its aim, Simon wrote, was to provide data for the size and costs of a plant which separates 1 kg per day of U from the natural product. He estimated such a plant would cost about 5,000,000 and outlined its necessities in careful detail.
