Development and Manufacture of First A-Bomb (The Manhattan Project) Research on atomic bombs was begun around the same time in several countries, including Germany, but in the United States, the actual building of an atomic bomb was already underway by 1942 under the code name "Manhattan Project." In 1939 Einstein wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning him that this scientific knowledge could lead to Germany's developing an atomic bomb. He suggested that the United States prepare for its own atomic bomb research. Out of this effort came the Manhattan Project The project was carried out in extreme secrecy using a large amount of the national budget and outstanding scientists. In September 1944 it was determined that an A-bomb would be used against Japan. On July 16, 1945 in the desert near Alamogordo, New Mexico, the United States successfully conducted the world's first nuclear test, known as the Trinity-test Enrico Fermi's report on the test The Manhattan Project was the code name for the US effort during World War II to produce the atomic bomb. It was named for the Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, because much of the early research was done in New York City. Sparked by refugee physicists in the United States, the program was slowly organized after nuclear fission was discovered by German scientists in 1938, and many US scientists expressed the fear that Hitler would attempt to build a fission bomb.

How the atomic bomb works When the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan in August of 1945 the world entered a new era. The initial killing power of the weapon was like nothing anyone had ever seen before, and its long-term effects were more horrible than what most could imagine. And beyond the destructive strength that the bomb has, perhaps it is most powerful in the political forum. But for all the complicated problems that arose after its use, the basic design of the bomb nicknamed Fat Man was deceptively simple. bodyOffer(5368) Inside a hard metallic casing were basically three important parts: a sphere of uranium with a cone-shaped piece missing, a cone-shaped piece of uranium and a gun to fire it with. When the bomb was detonated the gun fired the cone into the sphere, and set off the reaction that changed the world. The nature of atomic weaponry made the use of a radioactive substance (uranium) necessary. Radioactive elements can, under certain conditions, break down at the most basic level and release a great deal of energy. When the cone met the sphere, the uranium reached critical mass, the amount of uranium needed to start the reaction. At this point, one part of one uranium atom broke away from the force that kept it part of the atom, collided with another atom and split it. The parts that split from this atom then collided with others, setting off a chain reaction that released the energy responsible for the initial damage and death caused by the bomb. The use of a radioactive element in the bomb caused great amounts of radiation to be released into the atmosphere, which was responsible for many of the subsequent deaths attributable to the atomic bomb.

Manhattan Project The research for the first Atomic bomb was done in the United States, by a group of the best scientists; this research was given the name of "The Manhattan Project". On Monday July 16th, 1945, a countdown for the detonation of the first atomic bomb took place near Los Alamos, New Mexico. This atomic bomb testing would forever change the meaning of war. As the atomic bomb was detonated it sent shock-waves all over the world. There was endless research done on the bomb in the United States. The research was called "The Manhattan Engineer District Project" but it was more commonly known as "The Manhattan Project."1 The Manhattan Project was brought by fear of Germany and it's atomic research. On account of the fear of Germany the United States took action upon testing their own atomic bomb. Once the bomb was tested, the United States had to decide whether it should be used and if so, where? Then there was the process of dropping the bomb. The Manhattan Project was overall one of the highest and most significant projects ever done in the United States.2 The United States government was shocked by the news of German scientists discovering nuclear fission.

The Graphite Reactor A Historic Landmark at Oak Ridge National Laboratory `In the early, desperate days of World War II, the United States launched the top-secret, top-priority Manhattan Project...' In the early, desperate days of U.S. involvement in World War II, American scientists began to fear that the German discovery of uranium fission in 1939 might enable the Nazis to develop a super bomb. Afraid of losing this crucial race, the United States launched the top-secret, top-priority Manhattan Project. The plan was to create two atomic weaponsone fueled by plutonium, the other by enriched uranium. Hanford, Washington, was selected as the site for plutonium production, but before large reactors could be built there, a pilot plant was necessary to prove the feasibility of scaling up from laboratory experiments. A secluded, rural area near Clinton, Tennessee, was chosen both for the full-scale production of enriched uranium and for the pilot-scale production of plutonium. The Graphite Reactor, designed for this second purpose, was built in only 11 months. Its job was to show that plutonium could be extracted from irradiated uranium slugs, and its first major challenge was to produce a self-sustaining chain reaction. Workers began loading uranium into the reactor during the afternoon of Nov. 3, 1943, and progress was swift. Before dawn on Nov. 4, Enrico Fermi was summoned from a nearby guest house. The reactor ``went critical'' at 5 a.m.; less than two months later, it was producing a third of a ton of irradiated uranium a day. Two months after that, Oak Ridge chemists produced the world's first few grams of plutonium.

The Manhattan Project Introduction Stoff "The Manhattan Project was a scientific breakthrough, a frantic race for life and death, and a revolution in warfare." The Manhattan Project was the code name for the US effort during World War II to produce an atomic bomb. Although the project took place mainly in New Mexico, it was named after the Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, based in New York City, where much of the early research was done [ Moody , 1995]. The project lasted 4 years, between 1942 - 1946, and cost about $1.8 billion. Today, this amount would be equivalent to over $20 billion [ Parshall , 1995]. The project was more than the typical military program to achieve weapons superiority. The Manhattan Project was a scientific breakthrough, a frantic race for life and death, and a revolution in warfare. The project and its controversies took place on a global scale during the worst war in the history of mankind. It had such an impact on our lives, that we should not ignore the history but study it and learn from it. The project produced three bombs: the first bomb, known as "Gadget", was used as a test model; the second bomb, known as "Little Boy", was detonated over the city of Hiroshima; and the final bomb, known as "Fat Man", was detonated over the city of Nagasaki [

It was shortly thereafter that the United StatesGovernment began the serious undertaking known only then as the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was designed to research and production that would produce a usable atomic bomb. The Project was named after the Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, because a lot of the early research was done in New York. In 1942 General Leslie Grove was chosen to lead the project. He brought a site at Oak Ridge, Tenn. For facilities to separate the necessary uranium-235 from the much more common uranium-238. Robert Oppenheimer was appointed to lead the day to day running of the project. The team of scientists who worked on the atom bomb worked 6 days a week and often 18 hours a day.

The Atom bomb was dropped by an American B-29 bomber. The atom bomb was described by a Japanese journalist as a glaring pink light in the sky that burn peoples eyes out. Anyone within a mile of the explosion from the atom bomb became a bundle of smoking black charcoal within seconds. About 90,000-140,000 people were killed those who where still alive writhed in agony from their burns. The atom bomb obliterated more than 10 sq km/4 sq mi and there was very heavy damage outside that area. Three days later the USA dropped another atom bomb on Nagaski. About 60,000-80,000 people were killed by this atom bomb. On August 14 Japan surrendered and World War II was finally over.

38. America S Nuclear Weapons Complex The United States began to develop technology capable of producing nuclear weapons under the US Army Corps of Engineers Manhattan Engineer District (known as http://www.nga.org/common/issueBriefDetailPrint/1,1434,680,00.html

America's Nuclear Weapons Complex An overview of the enormous cleanup challenge present at the nation's nuclear weapons complex, a vast network of facilities throughout 12 states devoted to the research, production, and testing of nuclear weapons. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, environmental and safety concerns and the end of the Cold War caused many nuclear weapons production sites to shut down. However, a few key nuclear weapons production sites remain in operation. Because the various types of nuclear weapons wastes differ in physical characteristics, chemical form, and radioactivity, each requires different handling. Cleaning up the enormous environmental legacy of the race to build nuclear weapons is the largest environmental management program in the world. Restoring the environmental balance at these federal facilities calls for a coordinated effort at the state and federal levels. This report is designed to provide an overview of the nuclear weapons complex, the sites' past and current missions, and, most importantly, their connection to each other. The report also highlights the states' perspectives on some of the critical issues faced by the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) sites. The enactment of the Federal Facilities Compliance Act (FFCA) of 1992 brought Governors and their state regulatory staff into a new and mutually beneficial relationship with DOE. The overarching area of common interest to DOE and the states is to complete the cleanup of the nuclear weapons complex in a manner that provides protection to the citizens, workforce, and environment that surround the sites. While the immediate tasks envisioned under the FFCA have been completed, states have benefited from the continuing exchange of information and ongoing dialogue with DOE. As cleanup of the sites proceeds and transitions into long-term stewardship, it will be essential to continue this positive and open exchange of information between Governors and the department. This will ensure that decisions are made in light of complete information and that states can fully understand their part in the nuclear weapons complex.

FUSRAP: a new Corps mission and a new Philadelphia District project Corps takes over program to clean up old atomic energy development sites A program managed for 17 years by the U.S. Department of Energy to clean up sites contaminated during the early years of the atomic energy program was transferred to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Oct. 13 as part of the fiscal 1998 Energy and Water Appropriations Bill. (see related story on this page) . Other districts involved are Baltimore, Buffalo, New England, New York and St. Louis. FUSRAP began in 1974 when DOE began its study of the many sites used by the United States during the 1940s, 50s and 60s. While some of the sites can be traced back to World War II and the Manhattan Engineer District, other locations were involved in peacetime activities under the Atomic Energy Commission. Both the MED and AEC were predecessors of DOE. Most of the sites contaminated during the early atomic energy program were cleaned up under the less stringent guidelines of that time, leaving trace amounts of radioactive materials at some locations. DOE studied more than 400 sites, finding 46 locations in 14 states that were contaminated with radioactivity in excess of current guidelines. Since 1979, cleanup has been completed at 23 of the sites with partial cleanup at 19 others. Because of the very low concentrations of contaminants and given the current land use patterns in the area, none of the sites pose an immediate health risk to the public or environment.
